Hi everybody... I replaced two 2-2-2-4 SER with 2/0-2/0-2/0-4 & 1/0-1/0-1/0-4 to get 125A in each unit for a two-family. The upstairs SER was de-rated for attic heat & length. I have a 2 gang Siemens WP2211RJ gang meter and a 200A panel (P4040B1200CU) back fed with a 125A breaker and a 125A lug...

My plumber is being paid to fix subfloor and the toilet flange. He said he can do simple carpentry so would do both the floor and the flange. Now he says he's done. I told him there's not supposed to be a gap between the flange and subfloor. He said he can get a flange repair kit and it will...

Hi, I have a rental property that had two units but one 200 amp panel. I paid electricians a lot of money to split it to two meters and then two panels. I requested the original 200 amp panel to be discarded (it had 40 spaces) and replaced with a 24 or 30 space 125 amp main breaker panel. I...

Hi everybody, In a rental property, I discovered the actual sink leaks! I sprayed water around the sink and it leaks from two places. I know about the screws and plumbers putty (not sure if this sink has plumber's putty or silicone or nothing) and if necessary I could take it out and...

Hi, I just got a re-pipe to replace the old galvanized with PEX. Code calls for an expansion tank. The plumber put in a Watts GOV80M2 that goes in your toilet. It cost $16. After 12 hours, it wouldn't stop running and wasted a lot of water. So the tenants complained and when the plumber...

I have a 4 year old Waterco Titanium 125 Heat Pump for my 20x40 pool. I tried turning it on yesterday and found a leak in one of the components inside. I'm going to call the HVAC guy Monday but I wanted to get an idea what it was so I can talk turkey with him about this. I did some homework...
