Q. I have an electric space heater, can I plug it into any outlet that I have?
A. No, space heaters generally use 1500 watts of electricity. This is equivalent to (15) 100 watt light bulbs or (2) window air conditioners.
Q. The dimmers that I have installed feel hot, is this normal?
A. All dimmers produce heat. If your dimmer becomes extremely hot, you should have it checked by an electrician.
Q. Why do my bulbs hum?
A. When bulbs are dimmed, the filaments vibrate and cause a buzzing sound. Some bulbs have additional filaments supports to eliminate the buzz.
Q. When do I need a separate circuit for a window A/C unit?
A. When a unit exceeds 7000 BTU's, installing a separate circuit is recommended.
