Q: Do both switches need to be on for a 3-way switch?

• <div><p>No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.</p></div>

Q: What size wire is used for residential electrical service?

• <div><p>Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.</p></div>

Q: Do GFCI outlets have polarized sides?

• <div><p>GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, a standard safety addition to home power outlets. In rooms where moisture is more likely, like the bathroom and kitchen, GFCI outlets stop the current when certain kinds of shorts are detected, preventing shocks. Both GFCI and the similar AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are polarized and have clear indicators on the receptacle where hot wiring should go.</p></div>

Q: Can you move an electric meter outside or vice versa?

• <div><p>You can move an electric meter outside if you currently have one inside your home. This is considered a larger move, so be prepared to pay on the upper end of <b>$600 to $1,200</b>. When hiring a professional electrician to move your electric meter, be sure to specify its current location and desired location, including pictures if possible.</p></div>

Q: Will an ungrounded outlet trip a breaker?
