Regular 120 volt 15 amp outlets with 14 gauge wire, but ungrounded, old style two prong duplex outlets. Can I replace one with a gfci outlet and use the circuit to (slowly) charge a Tesla ev? Eventually I'll add a 30 amp dedicated charging circuit.
The black wires look like they have been melted together and they are hot to the touch. Also, why would the installation be black like it is ? Is that black mold, or is that just how it looks after years? Thank you in advance for your help.
Both are EV charging Rated 50 amp. Leviton almost double the price. Worth it? (Prices in CAD so looks high vs USD)
I have my robot lawnmower plugged into here and realizing it wasn’t charging, ran an extension cord and that seemed to charge it up. Plugged in one of those outlet checkers and nothing. Any advice is appreciated
Just moved in to this home. Need to change these since 2 of the 3 are dead. I tried to unscrew it, only the glass part comes off. I don’t think the screws are meant to be messed with. Any idea how to change these light bulbs or what type they are ??? Any help is appreciated. My google searches have been unhelpful and wrong.
EDIT: thanks everyone ! I guess google was right but I needed confidence from humans to yank it out of there. Some of them were really in there.
Happy Sunday all,
I am looking for some tips/tricks/guidance for replacement and/or removal of knob + tube and AL circuits in a home. Wiring is present in the attic and walls of the home and panel is located in the basement. Work is being done at the request of home insurance company so the requirements are to render the knob + tube and AL wiring inoperable.
My background: JP of 3 years. Never had to deal with K+T wiring in my apprenticeship or afterward. I am now the lead at another company so I don’t have more experienced electricians to lean on in situations like this. I’ve been educating myself with some YouTube videos and conversations with others, but thought I’d tap as many knowledge bases as I could before going forward with this new experience.
Thanks in advance for your help!
