The surge protector under your desk doesn't protect everything in the house.
It protects the equipment connected through it, leaving hardwired appliances outside that protection.
Panel-level surge protection can add broader protection for the home's electrical system, with point-of-use devices serving a separate role.

Plan outlet locations before the renovation walls close up.
Think about where you’ll actually use appliances and plug in equipment.
It’s easier to discuss those spots during planning than after the room is finished.

Turning the garage into a workshop changes what you need from its electrical supply.

Planning the feeder and subpanel around the equipment you'll actually use helps establish the right capacity for the space.

Helpful Tip Friday
Pulling out the space heaters as the weather gets cooler?
Plug them directly into a wall outlet, not an extension cord or power strip.
Space heaters draw a lot of power, and those extra connections may not be designed to handle the load.
Give the heater some space, plug it directly into the wall, and let it do its job.

A house can be renovated three or four times and still have some of its original electrical wiring behind the walls.
That's why the age of your home matters.

Do your outdoor lights keep burning out?
Before blaming the bulbs, check the fixture itself. Moisture getting inside, a loose connection, or a fixture that's seen better days can all cause problems.
With the days getting shorter, now's a good time to make sure your outdoor lighting is working the way it should.

If your house was built sometime between 1965 and 1975, there's a chance it has aluminum wiring.
That doesn't mean something is automatically wrong with your house. But it's something you should know about, especially if you don't know what's behind your outlets and switches.
Here's what Long Island homeowners with older homes should know.
