Q: What do the dials on the electrical meter mean?

• <div><p>The dials on an electrical meter simply represent the number of kWh you have used since it was installed. In a five-dial setup, the left-most dial represents tens of thousands of kWh, while the next dial to the right represents thousands of kWh. The following dials going to the right represent hundreds, tens, and ones.</p></div>

Q: What happens when a breaker box goes bad?

• <div><p>If your breaker box won&rsquo;t reset, stay on, trips when overloaded, or gets seriously damaged, you will need to replace the breakers or possibly the entire panel. A damaged breaker can lead to a fire, so it&rsquo;s best to err on the safe side and look into replacement. Hire a professional electrician to replace a breaker box to ensure your personal and property safety.</p></div>

Q: Do electricians have to be licensed in California?

• <div><p>Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.</p></div>

Q: Does a GFCI outlet need a ground wire?

• <div><p>A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert a 120V to a 240V outlet?

• <div><p>This type of conversion is easy&mdash;you&rsquo;ll just need to upgrade to the correct amperage in your wires before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-wire-outlet.htm">wiring the new outlet</a>. However, these projects can be tricky without intermediate electrical knowledge, so consider consulting a pro before flipping any switches on your circuit breaker. </p></div>
