    Purchased a new Lutron dimmer switch, but am running into problems. Thanks for any help.

    The only way you can fix this is cut all power off. You didn’t put back the live wire to the other 2 switches.

    Feeder Wire - Wire Insulation is slightly under lug. Is this an issue?

    Where it’s actually torqued is the main means of contact between the wire and the lug. That’s what’s important. Have a great day

    Feeder Wire - Wire Insulation is slightly under lug. Is this an issue?

    I honestly don’t think that the very little bit that the picture shows doesn’t appear to be under the actual lug. If the lugs are torqued to specifications for the panel then you shouldn’t have any problems. Rest easy and Welcome to the forum.

    What would explain this strange measurement in the kitchen?

    The best way I can say is that the dishwasher and garbage disposal both require their own separate circuit.

    Wiring inside house wall

    I have to agree with littlespark stating that the wires should be absolutely cut loose at the fuse or breaker to make it safe. The heaters should have its own circuit. Good luck with your project and welcome to the forum.

    Guidance / Counsel to Replace Whole-House Dayton Attic Fan Control Switch

    The only other place that would have that is an HVAC supply store that sells parts. The V stands for ventilation and the switch that you are holding in your hand is fairly easy to install. The black is your live, the white of course is your natural and the red is the actual load or in your case...

    THWN vs UF-B in my unusual conduit installation

    No it’s not a good idea and why don’t you just add a sub panel in your pool shed using UF cable. THWN wire is required to be installed by listed conduit from start to finish.

    crawlspace cable

    You can legally have two 20 amp receptacles on a 20 amp single pole breaker using # 12/2 MC cable. Since the receptacles will be under a sink then they will need to be GFCI protected.

    All I can say is that it wouldn’t hurt just for added protection.

    Yes you can relocate it and just use the old dryer outlet as a junction box to extend it to where you want it. Good luck and welcome to the forum

    Apartment complex lights not working or pool pump system. Novice maintenance man

    I have to agree with @James, just seeing a contactor inside of a junction box pretty much tells us the knowledge of your maintenance. Please hire an actual electrician.

    Safely heating a very small well house

    To be honest I am in NC and I’ve always used old blankets to cover all my well and never had a problem. Much simpler and has worked every winter since 1998. To me it’s to much like work to install heat tape or thermostats to just keep it from freezing. I also have an insulated cover on it also...

    New shed PVC conduit prep

    You should have no problems with what you want but even if you install conduit the cable still needs to be UF cable which is approved for under ground use. If you are using romex it needs to be # 12. 1 inch PVC conduit at a minimum to make the pull easier. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
