It will not be connected to the house... Also, I found some plans and it shows me having a pier every 3.5'. At that rate, I will have around 40 piers, that's seem like an awful lot.

I want to add a deck to my above ground pool. Is it OK to use concrete deck piers that lay on the ground or should I dig a hole and bury 3 feet of the post?

The deack will be 4' off the ground.

Can you remove the single gang switch box and install a 2 gang old work box and wire the switch parallel with the gfci?

I can't find a 100 amp 30 space panel anywhere. I don't have a supply house close by and the 100 amp panel that I need to replace is only a 20 space.

Basically, I need more space and I don't want...

I have a 200 amp 30 space main breaker homeline panel. I want to remove the 200 amp breaker and make it a 100 amp panel. I shouldn't have any issues with what, should I?

With only 1 swtich on the wall, I would say that the red wire isn't connected to anything.

Connect the black wire from the house to the black wire on the remote sensor, then connect the white to...

Hello,

I have an above ground pool. Im going to run a 20 amp line through PVC conduit 18" underground to the pump. Im going to stub up and terminate 5' from the side of the pool for the pump. ...

This is such a broad question. Get yor hands on a National Electric Code book and do some homework.

Inside the remote and the fans there are 4 dip-switchs. They come from the factory with the same settings, so you can install both fans with 1 remote. If you want to use a different remote for each...

This boday uses's 1275 watts, so Im going to dedicate a 15 amp circuit to it. W/out seeing the unit, I don't know if it needs to be hardwired or needs an outlet and if so, I'm thinking a GFCI. But,...

A frig does NOT have to be on its own circuit. Whenever I do a new house, I do give the frig a dedicated circuit.

You never want to upgrade the breaker... the breaker may be rated for 70 amps but the wire is only rated got 60 amps which means the wire will fail (catch fire, melt) before the breaker trips.

Can't really keep it simple if your not an electrician...

All a switch is, is a make or break point for a circuit. Switchs do not need neutrals. So, you have to pig-tail (turn that one hot into...

Make sure the neutral from the AFCI is connected to the neutral bar and the neutral from the circuit is connected to the AFCI.

The neutrasl has to be #6. You also have to think about grounding the casing of the moter. I don't know much about condos but whenever you install a hot tub you must drive a ground rod I believe.

Im pretty sure I have to use 6/3, don't think there is anyway around it.

I have to install a 30 am sub panel in a garage. The distance is 200' and it will be in a trench. Could I get away with running 8/3 UF for this or will the voltage drop be too great, meaning I...

Do you live off a busy street? A loose nuetral in the panal with heavy traffic outside will cause lights to flicker. Sometimes all is needed is for you to tighten down the nuetral for that circuit...

If it isn't broke, don't break it...

Did the inspector give you any reason why you should upgrade?

Am I doing something wrong? 1 of my questions you replied with, "we get this question everyday" and another I get linked to a rule about pms. What gives?

Can someone please post the formula for voltage drop?
Many thanks.

In a light fixture, each buld needs a hot and a nuetral. So, yes, splice the 2 black wires from the light fixture to the incoming black, also the 2 white wires from the fixture to the incoming white...

Many thanks, I wasn't thinking about the breaker tripping. I will just run different circuits.

I will be installing 4 single flouresant lamp "shop" lights and 5 garage doors. I am thinking about running just 1 20 amp circuit to feed everything. When one of the garage doors is used, will it...

Hello,
