How do u pass inspection with those loops and staples being so far from the box??

How much do you charge them an hour when they decide to add more things after you have given them a quote? Is there a particular application you use for quoting? You mentioned that if materials cost $2,000 you will add $2,000 as the labor portion but did not get the additional 30% you mentioned.

Generally we have a flat rate service call of $125 no matter if it takes 5 min or 60 min. If they start adding extra items and it is not much we will stay and do them for an additional 65 per hour. If it is more than a couple of small things that we get the sense it will be more than a few hours, then I usually tell them we will quote it separate from the service call and email the quote for the work with the service call bill. If we are there for quoted work and they add stuff, then I do a list and quote that separate. They usually say go ahead or they will wait until another time.

I have 4 white wires and one red wire. One of the white wires is reading 68 volts. When the switch is on, the red wire reads 68 volts. The white wires were wire nutted together and whoever put this together before used speaker wire to power the light.

I have a light box with 4 black, 4 white, 1 red, one hefty ground. 1 switch to two light fixtures. I fugged up and don’t recall how it was wired before pulling out the old fixtures. I recall one red that was capped and tucked up in the box and I think on the box with the mountain of wires it was capped in with black bundle. I isolated and capped the red in both boxes. The fixtures work but the switch does not. Confirming that red goes with the bundle of 4 black wires, and then 4 whites together and ground? The other fixture would be basic black, white, ground and isolated red? Range hood is out, outlets are good.

Question for you, what if you get contradictory information? My main breaker switch says (100) but I was also able to see the main conductor wires coming into that box and they were labeled as #6 ALUM which according to charts are only rated for (60). *I live in Canada which still accepts 60amps* Cheers

Was wondering why the loops going into all boxes
@conquerallelectrical 20 күн бұрын
They are service loops for when the drywallers cut or wires with zip tools inside the boxes. It always happens no matter how far we push them back inside the box, someone always pulls them out and they get cut. The service loop allows us to loosen the box connector, pull the extra wire into the box and re strip the connection. For the 100 dollars spent on extra wire to do this in the whole house it is far less expensive than replacing a whole wire that has been cut or needs more drywall repair to fix the cut wire by an other sloppy sub trade. We always give the client the option at the beginning of the job to have service loops or not and they always opt in. It also allows more flexibility for the client if they want the box moved to the next stud etc..... Hope this helps

So, the Red and Black wires each carry 115V? So, if I wanted to power a water well that is 230V, but all I had was a 3 wire NM 12-2 (3 WIRES), I could use the white wire for the Red, Black to black, and ground wire to the white? I think the ground and white nuetral go back to the same buss inside the generator, right? I know this isn't ideal, but I may have to make due for a couple days.

Hi, I am replacing a fan/light combo that had the fan and lights controlled by separate switches with switches in two locations. I have 14-3 black, white and red. Lights only has two wires. Can I just wire nut the red and push it back in the box since the fan is gone?

Seems people rarely mention the other nightmare you face on top of potentially killing a lineman. When that grid comes back online your generator and/or other equipment (panel meter etc) will explode with molten copper because those phases will not match frequency. I've seen people do this 1st hand and burn their houses down including one not far from me, took out his garage too when the house siding came melting down into the yard. When the fire dept showed up there was his generator sitting in the backyard burnt to a crisp, gasoline and all. Play it smart people!

What if there isn't a second Pipe. Most houses that are the age of mine in Michigan don't have outgoing pipe. It's just large gray wire going from the meter through the wall and in the house to the panel.

The generator inlet on my house is a 50A CS6364. If my generator output is only 120V, 20A, that power still needs to be fed into my house through that inlet. I am not going to waste money on a 30 or 50A cord which would be unnecessarily heavy and stiff. For the sake of ease of use, I want to use a 20A cord, but I am concerned about waterproofing where the cord enters the female plug as the generator inlet is exposed to rain. Is the smaller diameter of the 20A cord going to allow moisture into my female plug which was designed to accept a 50A cord? I realize that adapters are available, but those adapters all seem to force me down the road of running a 50A cord to the generator inlet, and I don't want to do that.

So it sounds like you put a wire nut termination on the ground wires as a best practice, but not actually required by CEC? And how do you provide a ground to the switches, don't you need two tails there as well?
@conquerallelectrical 2 ай бұрын
Grounds to the switches are not required in this province in this current code cycle. Although they were in the last. Tails on grounds for switches need to be a pig tailed wire nut connection for anything over a single gangable or welded box or more than 2 wires entering. Hope this helps.
