Q: Does it matter where you put the wires on a single-pole switch?

• <div><p>No, it doesn&rsquo;t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a 3-way switch is bad?

• <div><p>Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it&rsquo;s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn&rsquo;t turn the light off is the bad switch. </p></div>

Q: How can I reduce my AC electricity bill?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-window-unit-air-conditioner.htm">Keep the unit clean</a> for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/window-ac-repair/">window AC specialist near you</a> to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.</p></div>

Q: What light bulbs can you not throw away?

• <div><p>Any light bulbs made from toxic materials, such as CFL bulbs and fluorescent light tubes, should not be thrown in the garbage. These bulbs need to be sent to hazardous waste collection sites run by your municipality or sent through a specialized mail-back recycling program. Earth911 allows you to search and find a recycling location near you.</p></div>

Q: What if there is no C-wire for your thermostat?

• <div><p>If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. </p><p>There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.</p></div>

"We have American Home Shield warranty. We did have some plumbing and electrical work done. I have no idea who the service was because we did it through the home warranty. They have a $75 deductible for everything. American Home Shield has been great, definitely A across the board. The $75 deductible seemed great for cost and professionalism. They have a web site, Hub, where you can request service and everything, so A across the board for them. They are punctual and they cover the range of plumbing and - they cover a lot of issues with the home so I can always go to them if anything goes wrong, from plumbing to electrical to appliances. They've got me covered across the board."
