"I had Triangle replace my hot water heater because they were able to do the job the soonest. With that, they gave me 2 HVAC inspections for free. When the service person, Ryan Peters, came to do my inspection, I was told I had a freon leak somewhere, my unit was freezing up, it was running at 30% efficiency, and I would need a whole new A/C unit and furnace for the cost of $20K. He told me there was no reason to fix it because it was 17 years old and it would be extremely expensive to find the leak. When I called later to ask for that info. so I could get a second opinion, the story changed to, "you MIGHT have a leak", and they were reluctant to give me any of the information he told me the day prior. I was having no issues with my A/C, so I hired another HVAC professional with extensive experience. He came and told me he just needed to add freon for a minimal expense. My A/C is working perfectly. This company was bought out by a big corporation and it's all about $."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

They can vary—a lot. For example, while the EU continues to move toward broader standardization, many different types of outlets still exist from country to country. Some local standards cared about polarization, and some didn’t. It’s similar to other countries around the world.

Generally, you’re less likely to find polarized outlets outside North America. However, alternative plugs and outlets often incorporate precautions so that accidentally touching live prongs on a plug is hard or impossible. You may also find interesting regulations overseas that limit the use of outlets in bathrooms or near sinks to decrease the chance of shock.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

You can have power but no lights if the light switch is damaged. A damaged light switch is often caused by regular wear and tear or loose wires. In addition, simple problems such as a burnt-out light bulb or an unplugged lamp could be the cause of not having working lights.

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet. 

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.
