    2019 F150 AC Problem - How to find a competent mechanic in Houston, TX?

    Have you searched online for the reset procedure? We had an Edge that we would have to reset every 6 months or so.

    Electricians chime in please - 240V wiring mistake?

    The NEC has been around a very long time. They try to cover everything that can happen or has happened no matter how unlikely. As I have said, I'm not a code guy. Guys that do new installations are the ones that are usually on top of that. I am more of a maintenance type Electrician and became...

    Vacuum pumps and recovery machines.... off the top of my head. The lack of 110v receptacles was addressed in the NEC a few years ago....that only helps going forward. Older installations you do whatever it takes to get the job done. If it's a residential site, running a cord is an option. If...

That would be a cheap and easy first step. It would be better to have a separate grounding wire. The washing machine...

    Electricians chime in please - 240V wiring mistake?

    I assume you are concerned about where the grounded and grounding conductors are bonded. They still end up the same. Current will take the easiest path to ground. I certainly did not cover every exact issue there may be. As it is now, it's one conductor acting as grounded and grounding. I...

    Electricians chime in please - 240V wiring mistake?

    How much money do you want to spend to fix it? Using a white as a hot is acceptable as long as it's marked on each end. Is the ground an insulated ( green ) wire? You could use it as a white as long as it is marked on each end. Ultimately, the white and green end up landing the same place in...
