Jul 28	comment	Is this fluorescent light fixture a major electrical problem / fire hazard? Nice picture of the date code: Sep1965...that means the warranty ran out in 1970. I think that ballast got its moneys worth.

Jul 20	comment	What are the pros and cons of different types of smart switches (that are on the US market) ? X10 is not around any more. All you can find online is just the lesser used products. I work for an X10 dealer and we've had no contact with them in months. I think the world will be a better place.

Jun 30	comment	Is my window air conditioner cooling properly? Make sure the fins have not been mashed together so air can get in. If so brush the fins lightly with a brass wire brush.

Jun 29	comment	How do I appropriately/safely connect multiple power tools to a 20-amp outlet? Is your breaker box near your garage or on the outside of your garage? If not could a circuit be ran on the outside of your house or underground? If the box is nearby or if you ran your own conduit it would be worth it to have an electrician put in a circuit. If conduit has to be run and you dig the trench then you would not have to pay for the labor for that part of the job.

Jun 28	comment	Why are some submersible well pumps wired with solid and others stranded? Amperage and voltage should be the same as long as it is building wire. Some fine stranded cables handle double what regular solid or stranded, but price is high.

Jun 27	comment	Why are some submersible well pumps wired with solid and others stranded? Actually we suggest either a resin kit 3M 82A Series for underwater or cold shrink for moisture tight seals. A lot of times the insulation on heat shrink is too thin.
