"I had an outlet installed. They recommended the best way to run the electrical wires to cause the least amount of holes in the drywall. They were very tidy and cleaned up well. They were fast and efficient."

"Jason with Battle Born Electric installed under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen and dimmers on all the many overhead lights in my kitchen and living room. The under-cabinet lighting is also dimmable and, in addition to being practical, really accents that area. Jason was professional, easy to work with and very reasonable in pricing. I am very pleased with the work done by Jason and recommend Battle Birn Electric."

"The two man crew arrived promptly. They recommended an articulating wall mout that could easily handle the weight of our 65" television and provide the best viewing angles from our sofas and recliners. They cut in boxes to run the electrical, hdmi, and all necessary audio/visual cords through the wall which gave the installation a very functional and professional look. They cleaned up thoroughly after they finished the job which took very little time to complete. We were extremely happy with the work they had done at a surprisingly reasonable price. We would recommend Northern Nevada Low Voltage to anyone looking for a professional installation."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

While the line can't be removed, a pro can place a cap on the end to stop leaks. Contact a pro for a service call and speak with them about the related costs of either capping or removing the line altogether. Capping a gas line will cost between $75 and $150 while removing it will start at $250.

For most applications, you won’t need a neutral for 240V. There are certain codes and regulations that differ between areas so just because you technically may not need one in order for the device to function properly, it may still be a local requirement. Professionals in your area know the requirements, which is just another reason to hire one instead of taking on a project that is frankly not very DIY-friendly.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

Smart meters send the readings over a wireless wide area network (WAN) to the power company. This network allows sending small amounts of data slowly over long distances, which is perfect for smart meter readings that occur monthly. If you would prefer a smart meter, contact your power company and consider springing for the cost of replacing your electric meter.
