Q: How can you tell if a light bulb is LED or incandescent?

• <div><p>Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don&rsquo;t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn&rsquo;t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.</p></div>

Q: Can an inverter power a refrigerator?

• <div><p>Inverter generators are designed to turn on the engine when your appliances demand more energy. This is in contrast to running at full capacity as soon as they&rsquo;re turned on, like a standard portable generator does. So long as the wattage rating is high enough, an inverter can power a refrigerator just as well as a traditional generator.</p></div>

Q: What is the color code for sprinkler wire?

• <div><p>The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.</p><p>Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.</p></div>

Q: What do electrical meter risers do?

• <div><p>Electrical meter risers connect your home&rsquo;s electrical meter to overhead power lines so you can receive electrical service from the grid. Electrical meters also have a weatherhead, which protects the utility lines connected to your home&rsquo;s electrical system via the service entrance cable. Risers connect the weatherhead to your electrical meter socket, which connects to the meter.</p></div>
