Am I the only one who thinks cheap zone resistors are fine and the $40 ones are a waste?

Used wire nuts on panel splices for 10 years, switched to Wago 221s in 2023 at a 60 unit apartment in Reno and I'm not going back

Old timer at the supply house in Gary told me to always run 22/4 for keypads instead of 22/2, and after 3 service calls in 2 months I finally get why

My old lead tech swore you should never pull power on a panel without tagging the breaker first, and I laughed at him for 2 months until a Tuesday service call in Macon cost me $400

Ran a 22 gauge wire 180 feet for a door contact and it actually held up, but am I asking for trouble?

Just learned 1 in 4 alarm calls traced to a single cheap door contact, and I've been installing them for years
