1.30Does a contractor need to be a licensed electrician on small jobs?
Q.I am interviewing contractors to do renovations w/ electrical work. When selecting someone after a horror show from getting a contractor off creigs list ( don't recomend that ) I ran into a few who said they did not need an electrcians licence because its not a big job? I would apparecate the feed back.
A.Yes, electrical and plumbing contractors need to be licensed. That doesn't mean the person actually doing the work must be licensed, but the owner of the shop or the person in charge of the field personnel must be a licensed master electrician or plumber. Hope this helps.

1.20Can you hire a plumber and electrician without going through the contractor?
Q.My first contractor flaked out and never gave me an estimate after I spent hours explaining to the plumber and electrician what I wanted done. Now I am trying to get the plumber and electrician's estimates and have them lined up to work on a specific date. "Professional courtesy" because the bid was under the flakey contractor has impeded the process. I want to save the "surcharge" my contractor would charge and just hire the plumber and electrician by myself. Why is this so hard? What is the secret code to get this done??!! I want to save myself the money, especially since the bids are already done and they know what I want/need done!
A.Yes of course you can! But if they are the general contractors sub contractors they might not feel right about doing it without the contractor. If this is the case, go through your local phone book or a home improvement book (they usually have them for free in the super markets) and find a LICENSED and INSURED plumber and electrician.

1.10How much Should I expect to pay an Electrician to replace a Chandelier?
Q.Hello!
My boyfriend and I are considering a new Chandelier for our dining room, the one that came with the place is quite old and not very chic. I have found one that I like and he has said that he might be able to do it, but I figure if an electrician's fee is not too steep, I would rather a professional do it.
How much do you think replacing a chandelier should cost?
Thank you!
A.Call a local electrician to get a price. Here in the US, I would have no idea what an electrician in Australia charges. The price will depend on whether you get an electrical contractor, or hire an electrician to do it "on the side". Hope this helps.

1.10How much should it cost to install a ventilation fan in a bathroom? And what type of contractor would do that?
Q.We have a second story bathroom with a plaster ceiling with an unfinished attic above, leading up to a roof with cedar planks and two layers of shingles above that. We want to hire someone to install a ventilation fan in the ceiling and vent it through the roof. What would be a reasonable price for something like that? And what type of contractor should we look for to do that - electrician, HVAC guy, etc?
A.Anyone who does renovations can install it for you...just make sure he doesn't vent it to the attic because you will have problems with condensation which will affect your plaster ceiling...make sure you discuss the job with him in detail so you know he knows what he's doing...it's not as easy of a job as you'd think.

1.00How Do I convert 3 phase Electric to Single Phase.?
Q.I Bought a building that has 3 phase service. What I would like to do is have a 200 amp single phase Breaker on on each Floor (there are 4 Floors total) These can be sub panels or otherwise. My question is how do hook up a Main Distribution panel to tap into the 3 phase panel and maintain a balanced load.
I know this is a dangerous undertaking. I am very experienced in single phase applications But my 3 phase experiance so far has been limited so far to installation of 3 phase motors. In theory I somewhat understand what needs to be done, but I need someone to give me a step by step process to complete this.
** again I understand the risks involved so please do not answer telling me to Hire an Electrician...I am ONE. Just dont know too much about this aspect and Doing it by oneself is the best way to learn**
Thx
If necessary compensation can be arranged.
A.I am sorry, and mean no offense, as you have stated that you don't want to hear this, BUT...
It would be foolish, and possibly hazardous, for anyone to try to explain this to you here. You "say" you "are one," but you also say you don't know about this, and that's the same as not being one where this project is concerned.
You need to sacrifice a little pride and money, and hire a LICENSED MASTER Electrician to go to your job-site and literally POINT to, identify each of the phase legs, and explain which are to be used for your intended project. You don't have to hire him to do the work, only to advise and educate you. How about one of the guys you work with who does this work, he probably would do it for a few beers and laughs.
There is a universal convention for which phase to use for what you want to do, and someone who knows what he/she is doing needs to precisely identify which phase line is which. The reason for this is that whoever originally wired the 3-phase may NOT have followed the convention, and misuse could result in problems.
Better safe than sorry.

1.00Questions about doing the big 3 upgrade?
Q.Last year I was about to do this install for my stereo, I bought all the stuff I need and then right when I was about to install it all, I took a reading of my power wire and it seemed to damn high already from what was coming from it. ( I can't remember the voltage because it was a year ago) I showed my uncle that's a mechanic ( not an electrician) and he said that "I wouldn't do it because it's already hi and it might fry lots of things"
I know that the voltage was above 12.6 for sure! maybe 14 something? and that's before I even installed any extra gauge wire. so I just changed my mind and never installed it...I still have everything and I'm wanting to try this again and actually doit but I really don't want to ruin my car or fry all my audio equipment, should I hire a professional shop to do this so then they are liable for any damage?
also - I have a kinetic 1400 battery under my hood powering my car. and my stereo is jl audio amp and sub.
I don't want to buy a HO alt yet. thanks

1.00What do contractors charge per square foot to remodel part of an unfinshed existing basement to a bedroom? ?
Q.What do contractors charge per square foot to remodel part of an unfinshed existing basement to a bedroom?
I am looking into converting part of my unfinsihed basement to a bedroom around 12ft x 12ft. There will be no Addition to the house, but there will be remodelling to already existing space putting up some walls to make a bedroom. Ballpark figure thanks.
A.Even a Ball Park figure would be difficult to produce for with out a visit. But lets say, the electrician could be about $1,000.00 total. X 15.15 divided by 144.

1.00To remodel my finished basement, what should I expect a contractor to charge for labor?
Q.Do they charge as much as materials cost? More? Less?
I want to refinish my basement. No plumbing. Just new walls. carpet, lighting, moulding, doors and windows.
I figured all materials would be around $5-7k. What would he charge?
A.Depends on how much work there is to do and where in the US you live...you will have to get an electrician and permits for that. I would say it would cost twice as much as the materials. It really just depends on where you live and who you can find. Your best bet is to not look on yahoo answers and to call local contractors and they will give you free estimates.
