    Losing power to whole house, not tripping circuit breaker?

    Hi, recently moved into 30 year old home. We were renovating it for a few months and didn't notice this issue. 3-4 times over last month the power has gone out to the entire home, without flipping any circuits. When we've been home for it (twice) it has only lasted a few seconds. I'm yet to ask...

    Hi all, I recently moved to an older property that had a run down garage. We had this removed and a summer house put up in its place. The old garage had a supply run from the main CU on a 15a circuit. It looks to be run in 2.5mm 2 core SWA. It’s roughly 15m in length from the house CU to the...

    Why is there no power to my Dyno-Glo Garage Heater?

    Hi, I have a new Dyno-Glo Garage Heater that I connected to the breaker, and it won't turn on. Multimeter reads 120V going at each node in the heater. Breaker is a double-pole 30 Amp Stab-Lok, rated for 240V. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further, and I'm hoping for some direction, please.

I replaced my positive battery lead that was shot and the only thing that happens when I turn the key is the temp gauge fluttering. The relay only has 0.5 constant...

    Not getting power to mini split

    Just installed my mini split I’m almost sure I wired it correctly. It’s going from an outside panel to my disconnect box to my mini split. These are the items I’m using. Could it be a compatibility issue?? This seems like it might be the only explanations besides a defective mini split.
