Q: Do I need a multimeter?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re someone who likes to tinker around the house and make DIY repairs, a multimeter or voltmeter can be a great tool to have around, especially if you&rsquo;re comfortable with electrical repairs.

Q: Do hot water heaters use a lot of electricity?

Your insulation installer will work around wiring, fixtures, outlets, and switches, even if they&rsquo;re installing fiberglass batts in the voids where wires run. However, you will need an electrician if you suspect a problem with your wiring during the insulation work.</p></div>
