Q: When wiring your box how much wire should you leave in the box?

• <div><p>The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don&rsquo;t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.</p></div>

Q: How many volts are in a watt?

• <div><p>Volts and watts aren&rsquo;t directly convertible units&mdash;they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.</p></div>

Q: What wire can I use instead of C wire?

• <div><p>If there isn&rsquo;t a C-wire on your thermostat, you can repurpose the G-wire. The G-wire controls the fan independently of the other controls on your thermostat, so the fan-only function won&rsquo;t work if you decide to go this route.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a larger electrical panel for my home?

• <div><p>The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/difference-between-100-amp-200-amp-service.htm">100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel</a>. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. </p><p>If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It&rsquo;s unlikely that you&rsquo;ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you wire a single-pole switch wrong?

• <div><p>Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. </p></div>

I have used them for multiple jobs on multiple locations, they are amazing. They show up on time they get things right and I don’t have to call them back. I’ve had experience with other plumbers that I have to call back and they don’t respond. This one does it right the first time
