Q: Do installations include electrical work?

• <div><p>Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.</p></div>

Q: Do gas dryers still need electricity?

• <div><p>Yes, gas dryers still need electricity. While their heating system relies solely on natural gas to produce the heat that dries your clothes, gas dryers use electricity to power the lights and display screens on their interface, turn on the drum, and power any automatic moisture sensors inside the unit.</p></div>

Q: Do mini-splits use more electricity than window units?

• <div><p>Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month). </p></div>

Q: Can splicing wires cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, splicing wires can cause a fire if the splicing is done incorrectly. This is why splicing wires is a task best handled by electricians. One of the most common mistakes made when splicing wires is not using a wire connector.
