thats quite a bit of juice no?

2017-12-14 22:37:14 UTC  

It doesn't lend itself to good selfies, but it's like being able to stand inside the panel at your house

2017-12-15 03:13:42 UTC  

I want to reroute a light switch to the other side of my door frame. How should I go about it?

2017-12-15 03:20:23 UTC  

@Dalvet462 -PA Could you take a pic? Include doorframe and ceiling

2017-12-15 03:22:21 UTC  

I need to go to bed. I'll get back with you tomorrow

2017-12-15 17:37:17 UTC  

Yeah, I'm not at my apartment currently, but I'll send you a pic when I get the chance

2017-12-15 17:46:51 UTC  

@Dalvet462 -PA you don't have an attic?

2017-12-15 17:47:03 UTC  

Right above the door

2017-12-15 17:48:32 UTC  

No, just a roof. I'm in an apartment complex.

2017-12-15 17:49:45 UTC  

If you have no way of getting between your ceiling and the floor above you, it's going to involve cutting drywall

2017-12-15 22:20:17 UTC  

And we can walk you through drywall repair.

2017-12-15 22:21:06 UTC  

It's like contractors on tap๐Ÿ˜‚

2018-01-02 22:35:54 UTC  

Is anybody around? I have a mystery on my hands.

2018-01-02 22:49:19 UTC  

@gregor#0091 @John O - ^^

2018-01-02 22:50:05 UTC  

@JRobertson I'm driving. What's up?

2018-01-07 17:49:27 UTC  

In my house at school, the Air Handler breaker switch keeps tripping. I know why a circuit trips, but donโ€™t know the cause of it for my house. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix it?

2018-01-07 17:55:24 UTC  

@Rayder how old is the breaker?

2018-01-07 22:33:27 UTC  

@Rayder When was the last time you changed the filter?

2018-01-08 21:09:26 UTC  

@here Today, I was accepted into the IBEW electrician apprenticeship program and they're ready for me to start work immediately. Thanks for everyone who assisted me.

2018-01-08 21:09:51 UTC

@RevStench Looks like a duplex receptacle with the face torn off

2018-01-30 16:52:14 UTC  

Some dipshit spackled over live electrical components

2018-01-30 19:13:51 UTC  

It's old, they ripped it back to wood lathe. And then got some Mexicans to put up drywall. So there's your dipshits haha.

2018-01-30 19:14:23 UTC  

I'm not sure what it is, that's why I have you guys!(electricians)๐Ÿ˜

2018-01-30 21:56:01 UTC  

Anyone here an electrician?
I have a quick question

2018-01-30 21:58:29 UTC  

I have aluminum wiring and I bought a CO/ALR Switch from Leviton which was reccomended to me from the guy at home depot. I just want to double check and make sure that I can wire it right up to it.

2018-01-30 22:08:40 UTC  

@Deleted User @John O - @RevStench โ˜๐Ÿป Brass on deck.

2018-01-30 22:28:56 UTC  

@Deleted User Yes, the ALR designation means aluminum

2018-01-30 22:30:22 UTC  

Does it's have copper or brass contacts instead of steel?

2018-01-30 22:33:10 UTC  

Are you just swapping out an outlet or are you having trouble with the outlet?

Aluminum wiring can be dangerous, it can overheat enough to start a fire without tripping the breaker.

And what John said

2018-01-30 22:34:47 UTC  

Nah, aluminum is fine. All our feeder wire is aluminum in the commercial projects I do

2018-01-30 22:35:04 UTC  

Plus, typically range wire in houses
