Q: Is it less expensive to run power overhead or underground?

• <div><p>It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn&rsquo;t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it&rsquo;s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install or replace a circuit breaker?

• <div><p>The cost to install or replace a circuit breaker depends on the price of the unit itself and the complexity of the installation. A new circuit breaker typically costs between $10 and $100, with standard breakers being the most affordable and GFCI or AFCI types costing more. If you are upgrading to a higher amperage, a 200-amp circuit breaker can cost between $250 and $350. The average total cost for professional installation is around $700, but this price varies. A simple replacement into existing wiring will cost less than a more complex project that requires opening walls, running new wires, and securing permits.</p></div>

Q: Can wiring a light switch wrong cause a fire?

• <div><p>Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you&rsquo;re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don&rsquo;t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.</p></div>

Q: Can you still get Federal Pacific (FPE) breakers?

• <div><p>No, technically, the original Federal Pacific (FPE) breakers are no longer available. Stab-Lok&reg; circuit breakers from the now-defunct Federal Pacific Electric Company (FPE) are no longer produced. However, the trademark and manufacture of the Stab-Lok&reg; brand of breakers has been passed through a series of parent and subsidiary companies. Black and gray versions of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/circuit-breaker-vs-surge-protector.htm">circuit breaker</a> have been produced by these companies, with sales rights in the U.S. and Canada shifting back and forth.</p></div>

Q: How close can a transfer switch be to a generator?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to keep between <b>60 and 70 feet</b> between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:</p><ul><li><p>The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.</p></li><li><p>It increases efficiency because you won&rsquo;t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.</p></li><li><p>Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. </p></li></ul><p></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."

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.
It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.
Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
