I jjust bought an old house, and among a few others, there are some strange four pronged electrical outlets. I am looking for a jpeg or pdf or any online resource to learn about what these might be...
Thanks

sometimes you might want to do some research before you post an answer. it took me less than 25 seconds to find this. you'd be amazed of the things you can find it you look long enough. but for real, what is some of the best kind of wood to burn for time and heat intensity?

Our furnace does not shut off at the set temperature. I have it set on "auto" and "heat". When it reaches the set temperature, it stops blowing warm air and just blows air (from the basement, so it's cool air).

Does this affect our gas bill? Right now, we turn it to "off" when it stops blowing warm air. It's a pain at night because it gets pretty cold. We rent, so as far as landlords go...we have a typical one... no response for days. Is there something simple we can do or will he have to call for service? We tried replacing the thermostat thinking this would fix our problem. Any suggestions?

I have an electric stove range about 7 years old and just recently in the past month it trips the circuit while being used also it trips the circuit when it's not being used.
I check the breaker and the switch is in between on/off. I am wondering if the short is because the stove range is getting old and needs to be replaced or do I need call an electrican to check out my plug?

The electric stove range is plugged into a dedicated range socket. Please advise. thank you!

I just moved into my apartment and the windows are horrifying. The panes are all cracked, have old lumpy paint, holes, etc. I can't get new windows because I'm renting. Who would "specialize" in doing these sorts of repairs? A painter? A jack of all trades handy man? I couldn't do it myself because of the severity of it.

the flickering is not associated with anything coming on or off. Contractor said it wasn't caused by them and power company said its not them, another is saying it could be ground wire. All I know this wasn't happening in sept.2006

We had double sided tape to hold a carpet down in our living room and are trying (fruitlessly) to remove the tape. We can't scrape it off as that would scratch the floors...

It is a 9-yr-old RCA electric dryer. It runs and turns but won't heat up. I checked the vents and cleaned out all the lint. Still won't heat. Any idea what the problem may be and how expensive to fix? (I am trying to determine if i might need a new one ~$300)?
