    Increase clearance of light switch

    @littlespark in my opinion is to raise the box as @RetiredNY advised or if it has a neutral then go with a motion sensor to turn it off and on. That would probably work but the electrician who installed this should have done his homework before installing it at that height.

    Branching off baseboard heat

    The biggest question is do you have a way to put your lights on a separate 20 amp single pole breaker instead of tapping it on a 20 amp double pole breaker. Baseboard heaters draw a lot of current so I would highly suggest that you find a way not to use that double pole breaker. Good luck and...

    remove switch from multiple outlets

    The best and easiest way to do it would be turn off the power and take the light switch out and splice the 2 wires on the switch together. Your switch will no longer work and the receptacles will have constant power. Please be careful and make sure the power is off.

    Partial power outage in apartment

    I would have to agree with @James to hire an electrician to measure the voltage coming in to the panel. If you have 240vac phase to phase then you are getting sufficient power. If not then your problem is in the basement. Since you changed the breaker did you notice any discoloration on the lug...

    Auto switch not working on control panel for pump

    When your float reaches its desired height then it should activate a switch which should supply power to your automatic side of your HOA switch. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    Searching for Replacement for Square D QO load center lug D3254

    The best advice I can give you is order an L250 lug and drill and tap the lug to the panel. You can also just order a ground bar in which you would still need to drill and tap the holes. There is not a load in the panel to require a 2/0 equipment ground.

    GFCI light pulses yellow under power draw from bidet seat but doesn't trip

    Your GFCI should not be making any noise at all. If it was me I would replace the GFCI receptacle and see if that helps.

    Connect new recessed lighting to outlet or a switch

    You actually need to use the light switch since that’s where the lights are controlled from. The red wires should be your travelers going to another switch. It sounds like a 3 way switch. Good luck with your project

    Metal building with living quarters rough in

    My advice would be to add a sub panel inside. That would make the wire pulling a whole lot easier than coming from the outside panel. Use the outside panel for the HVAC unit, and an outside building. Hope this helps.

    Single Pole 50 Amp Circuit Serving for Electrical Dryer, Powers and Many Others

    By code the washing machine needs its own 20 amp single pole GFCI circuit, the dryer needs a 30 amp double pole breaker and using # 10 wire. Your gas heater requires at least a 15 amp single pole breaker using # 14 wire. If your dryer is actually hooked up to a 50 amp single pole breaker then...

    Mold cleaner spilled on an outlet do I get help ASAP or let it dry?

    It would be best if you replaced the receptacle. We don’t know if the cleaning fluid is a conductor of electricity or not so why take that chance.

    Garage Receptacle Height?

    I need more information because it sounds like you have a class 1 division 1 environment especially if flammable vapors are present. You need to install them 18 inches to the bottom of the receptacle.

    Which replacement siemens breaker do I need?

    It appears to be a Siemens type QAF. Just remove the breaker and take it to Lowe’s or Home Depot and make sure they have a breaker that matches yours. Worst case go to your local Electrical Supply Store with the breaker to make sure they have the proper breaker. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    dishwasher connection from hardwired to gfci

    Sorry for the late reply but if you don’t have it working garbage disposals are supposed to have their own circuit but I don’t know how old your home is but it’s very possible that the fed wire is the live feeding the garbage disposal. Good luck and welcome to the forum
