How do you get electricity from the house to the garage?

If the garage is detached, have a subpanel installed. I would recommend having a professional electrician do this. : IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB : SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY : REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. : If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.


Screw driver accidentally touched ground wire while screwing a hot black wire in the light switch box. The power went out but the circuit breaker did not trip. Can you tell me how to fix it?

If you didn't burn the wire off then the breaker did trip. Sometimes a tripped breaker is hard to see. Go down the whole panel switching each individual breaker off and then on again. This should rectify the problem. A word from the wise, I have been an electrician for 42 years and always shut the power off before working on equipment.


Why does your circuit braker shut off when you turn on your heater?

Your circuit breaker shuts off when you turn on your heater because the heater draws a significant amount of electrical current, potentially exceeding the circuit's capacity. This overload causes the breaker to trip as a safety measure, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards. Additionally, if there are any underlying electrical issues or faulty wiring, this could also contribute to the breaker tripping. It's advisable to consult an electrician to assess the situation.


What is first year electrician wage?

Usually 50% of Journeyman's wages. If you are going union, currently Journeyman wages are $32.50. Non-union depends on the company, but usually around $25ish. So as a first year apprentice, expect between $12 and $15 per hour. Not bad for knowing nothing right off the bat!
