Home Maintenance:  What is a Breaker Box?

This short course (about 2 hours hands on) will take you through the electricity in your home. It will not make you an electrician as we are not discussing electric codes. But just knowing just a few things about how your home electric system works could save you thousands of dollars over your life.

• Can I replace that ugly overhead light in my kitchen?
• My light switch is not working. Can I fix that?
• Could I change my flip switch to a dimmer switch?
• Could I change my flip switch to a motion sensor switch?
• What is a circuit - what is a circuit breaker? What is a GFCI and how does it protect me.
• How do Smart lights work and could I put them in my home?
• How much power is my appliance using? 
• How can I save energy in my home?
