Electrical questions, answered by experts

Many wire nuts can accommodate three wires of various gauges; you should check the packaging of the nut to confirm you are buying the correct size. In addition, there are screw terminals that accommodate various numbers of wires; these might also be called “terminal blocks,” and exist to connect multiple wires. 

Canless lights are often better for modern homes due to their slim design, easier installation, and energy efficiency. They fit in tight spaces and require less ceiling depth. Can or recessed lights provide a more traditional look and are better for high ceilings or spaces needing a stronger, more focused light. They require more installation work and ceiling space. 

Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs: opt for canless lights for easy installation and energy savings, or choose can lights for a classic look and robust lighting in larger areas.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

It’s a great idea to replace and update outlets, especially if an outlet stops working. New outlets work well with modern appliances and devices. Over time, outlets become old and worn—they can even become damaged, cracked, and burnt if the wiring is old and outdated. Old outlets and wiring can cause smoke, sparks, flickering lights, and an electrical fire.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
