Q: Can I use my water heater circuit breaker with other appliances?

• <div><p>It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a dimmer switch on any light?

• <div><p>You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You&rsquo;ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.</p></div>

Q: What size wire is used for residential electrical service?

• <div><p>Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you overload Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Using too many Christmas lights can cause your circuit board to overload which can put your tree at risk of catching fire and potentially damage your home&rsquo;s electrical grid. </p></div>
