Q: What’s the process for getting an electric meter moved?

• <div><p>Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you&rsquo;re moving, so there&rsquo;s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.</p></div>

Q: What is the color code for wires?

• <div><p>Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.</p></div>

Q: Why does one outlet work and not the other?

• <div><p>If one plug in your outlet works but the other doesn't, it could be due to a few reasons. The outlet might have a loose or damaged internal connection on the non-working side. Another possibility is that the outlet is a split receptacle, with one half controlled by a wall switch that might be turned off. Additionally, debris or damage inside the non-working plug could prevent a proper connection. If you can't identify the issue, remember to prioritize safety. Replace the outlet or consult a professional electrician to ensure safety and proper functionality. </p></div>

Q: What light bulbs can you not throw away?

• <div><p>Any light bulbs made from toxic materials, such as CFL bulbs and fluorescent light tubes, should not be thrown in the garbage. These bulbs need to be sent to hazardous waste collection sites run by your municipality or sent through a specialized mail-back recycling program. Earth911 allows you to search and find a recycling location near you.</p></div>

They were great. They were excellent and reasonable. They were very professional and nice. They didn't try to do a rush job, which was great. They were clean and didn't leave anything behind. We used them because they called us back. They were pretty prompt in getting back to us.

Drucks (Steve in particular) did a great job meeting our needs. Steve was courteous and thorough. Drucks may not be the cheapest, but the work was top quality. We would recommend Drucks and be confident using them again.
