Important
Some basic maintenance of electrical devices in the home such as light fixtures, switches and outlets may be worked on by a qualified person who has experience and understands how to use a voltage tester and basic tools. However, Electrical wiring projects should be done by a certified electrician or licensed electrical contractor, and the project should be done with a permit and the work should be inspected.

Installing New Equipment or a Major Appliance
Please - consult the owners manual for the installation instructions and electrical circuit requirements for the specific model of the unit that you have.

Circuit Wiring, Panels and Sub Panels
Extensive electrical circuit wiring, and the installation of a panel or sub panel should only be done by a certified electrician or a licensed electrical contractor. I do not provide detailed information about such projects for several reasons, but especially because there are so many factors that must be considered for these projects.
