We have lived in this house for 40 years. The main house is served from a CU under the stairs. About 20 years back we had a 2 room extension built and that is served via a 2nd CU in the garage. Because I want to get an EV charger installed i needed to get the (sub) CU in the garage upgraded...

My current career is in IT management, but started out in the late 70's in electronics. TV, stereo and general repairs. That led to a stint doing phone systems (1A2), then on to Security work. This was all life safety work for...

Looking for some assistance here as I have received different bids from different electricians. We live in Florida and have a Generator for emergency use, but have no way to power the house save for an extension cord currently. We are also remodeling our kitchen and are wanting to upgrade our...
I have a question on wiring to make sure I am doing it correctly. I plan on adding a new GFCI/AFCI 20 amp circuit breaker to my box and run the wires to the first 2 outlets in a 2 gang box I am installing. I am also installing 2 other 2 outlet boxes. This is in a finished garage. I know how...
We've had some electrical work done which we're very happy with, but I have one query. Where some extra sockets have been fitted, the electrician made a channel in the wall down to the skirting, with the supply picked up from a nearby socket and the cables running under the floorboards; all...
I did an EICR and as I was doing the RCD trip times the circuits tripped as they should but then as I turned it back on the upstairs lighting stayed off (the breaker for the circuit is on) there is power coming out the circuit but none of the upstairs lights will switch back on. If anyone has...
Was contacted by a local paper last week and asked about the Scottish Government smoke alarm requirements coming in on February.

Hi,
