It should be a GFCI breaker and some brands could be 250.00. Definitely 50a if it were me, at least #8 copper/#6al and a #8 cu/#6 Al ground in any case. Immersing yourself in water with electrical...

Send me blueprints and I will give you a take off for a small fee... lol... but you'll have to get the wire price from your local supply house, wire prices change by the day...

Call an electrician, not being sarcastic, but with a system that age I would not suggest a DIY deal, are you sure about the fuse? Have you checked it for continuity?

You can put them on each light, they aren't much. Do not connect them with the breaker on, you can screw them up wiring them live... you shouldn't wire anything live anyway but some people think...

Check for loose connections or hot breakers. I found a loose wire on a water heater not long ago that overheated the breaker. Changed it out and the guys bill dropped $80 the next month. Have...

They do test them, for a certain use. There are enough technical disclaimers in the box they aren't sweating it, good lawyers. The twins come in 20A. You will probably find a third or more of your...

Man, that's a lot to chew on. I generally don't like quad or twin breakers for heavy loads. Perhaps take some circuits feeding recepts in the hall, or outside, things used rarely or intermittently....

When I was coming up every time I asked a question like that the answer was "call the inspector". Inspectors are people, they get egos and pet peeves... and for all you know might play golf with...
