I have a 100amp drop to the house. My current panel is pretty full. I would like to add a 240V to the basement so that I can add an electric brewing kettle at 240. Help me out and I'll owe you a beer. I would also like to split the basement off from the rest of the house and run at least 2 or 3 circuits. (The current basement circuit includes the HVAC, all the living room, including TV etc, and…
I just had my Garburator removed from under my sink, it was just an unplug and remove job (Garburator was not hardwired). 30 minutes after the plumber left, the electrics on the same side of the kitchen all keep switching off and on. First the breaker was tripping. I pushed the lever over and it happened again. Now they are still going on and off, but the breaker isn’t tripping? Called plumber and…
Hi, What might be the cause of my clothes dryer tripping the master breaker during peak usage hours? I can run it at night and it won't trip anything. But during the day between like 12pm-8pm if I run the clothes dryer, it trips the master breaker and I have to go outside to where they read the meter in order to reset the power for the entire house. This includes when I have everything else in the…
I'm a plumber so excuse my limited grammar skills. I removed the light above my vanity and am trying to add a old work receptacle in order to tie-in a light up vanity mirror. My house is from the 40's so most of the electrical work is original. What is the best and safest way to go about doing this? TIA. submitted by /u/Aerodepress [link] [comments]

Hi all! I have a 1920's home that has had a couple of rooms re-done with 3 prong grounded outlets. I have 2 rooms that currently still have the older 2 prong style outlets. From what I have read, this means they are not grounded. I want to use one of the rooms as an office for working from home 2 days a week. I read on another thread here that prolonged use of an adapter to make it 3 prong could…
Hi, I am buying a new construction house. The downstairs great room has six windows. Ideally these would have automatic window shades that could be centrally controlled. What’s the best way to get this done? Ask the developer to price it out? Wait until I own the home and then get an electrician to quote it for me? What should be the price, or price range? Is this a big or small project? Thanks!…

House was built in the 1909. We moved in back in 2018. We are the third owners. This is the panel in the basement. I am converting the dryer from 3 to 4 wire for our basement renovation. It is the two thirty amp breakers in the sub box. submitted by /u/Excellent_Formal2411 [link] [comments]
Asbestos board, been told I need to have an additional fuse board when kitchen is refitted. Will I have to pay to get the asbestos board removed or can the work be done around it? I’ve asked my electricity supplier to remove it and they refused, I asked the grid to remove it and they refused too! Am in UK if that helps, have never posted here before! TIA. submitted by /u/Faultless88 [link]…
