Q: Can splicing wires cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, splicing wires can cause a fire if the splicing is done incorrectly. This is why splicing wires is a task best handled by electricians. One of the most common mistakes made when splicing wires is not using a wire connector. Without a wire connector, electricity flows unsheathed and can result in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-prevent-electrical-fires.htm">home electrical fire</a>.</p></div>

Q: What does a duplex outlet mean?

• <div><p>A duplex outlet simply means that the receptacle has two plug-in outlets for two plugs. It&rsquo;s a common design choice for homes. The two outlets should be wired identically during installation so the hot side is the same for both.</p></div>

Q: How close can an electrical outlet be to a sink?

• <div><p>The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.</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: How much electricity does a sump pump use?

• <div><p>A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as <b>$15-$25 a month</b>.</p></div>
