Electrician Coming Over What to Do?


OK, the electrician is coming over to put in more cable and a sub panel. Do I install a home surge protector, dedicated lines at what amperage? DO I use standard cable or JPS Labs wire? Help, one more week to go.

Thanks

Sean's comment about the isolated grounds has scared me (I'm about to have this work done at my house too). I don't want to have to think about this stuff down the line, whether or not it's safe to puta compoent in the system that may be plugged into some other outlet. Better to not go with isolated grounds, then?

Another question: if you are running multiple lines, do you usually run each to a single duplex and leave the jumpers in place, or do you break the jumpers and run a separate line to each individual outlet? Dan.
