Older buildings

Useful guides
6 min readFuse panel: should you replace it, and why your insurer asksA fuse panel in good condition and used properly isn’t dangerous in itself. But it often lacks capacity and room, it doesn’t accept modern protection, and several insurers ask for it to be replaced. Here is how to recognize one, what to do when a fuse blows, what the insurer expects and how the replacement goes.Read the guide 5 min readGenerators and transfer switches: powering your house safely during an outagePlugging a generator into a house outlet with a double male-ended cable is dangerous and prohibited: the power flows back into the grid and can kill a line worker. The right way: a transfer switch, or a panel interlock, and an outdoor power inlet, installed by an electrician. Then the essential circuits are chosen based on the generator’s output.Read the guide 6 min readUpgrading from 100 A to 200 A: when it’s needed and how it goesUpgrading from 100 A to 200 A becomes necessary when the Code’s load calculation exceeds what the service can supply: electric heating, an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub. Here is what the calculation counts, the solutions that sometimes avoid the work, what the 2026 Code changes and how it goes, from the request to the utility to the power coming back on.Read the guide
