Understanding Your Home's Electrical System

  • Boston Building Resources 100 Terrace St Boston, MA, 02120 United States (map)

Get ready to unleash your inner electrician at "Power to the People: Understanding Your Homes Electrical System" Nov 11, 9:30-12:30

Starting out with how electricity comes in to your house, and ending at the light bulb and outlet, we will go over how wiring works, and why sometimes it doesn’t. We will examine different wiring methods found in older homes and learn to recognize which projects you might attempt on your own, and which you shouldn’t. Changing a switch, changing a light fixture—some say it’s easy. Is it really? The class will be a combination of show and tell, hands-on learning, and information you can take home to minimize some of the hazards you may have in your home.
