Great video - thank you! Looking at picking this up, still happy with yours? How’s the wear and tear on the bag after 2 years. Looking at maybe the blackout version of this bag. Not sure, so many warn of a black color tool bag - would like to hear your thoughts or that of others.

thanks so much for the information!

Seal of approval for top electrician who also listens to Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' .

The panel looks really clean. I from Wisconsin I graduate electrical school .May now apprenticeship in residential electrician 3 years journeyman license how long to be a master electrician your opinion

Is there much difference between a homeline and a Eaton BR panel? My eletrican said was having trouble finding homeline panels and was wondering if I would be ok with an Eaton panel.

The water meter needed an electrical connection? Is that unusual?

Quack quack says the duck seal

Do you really want a fridge on GFCI there notorious for tripping

In Tx , that 4/0 SE Romex Cable for 200 Amp Services is not allowed for outside install ! Contractors will buy the cable and then strip off and remove the Outer Jacket Sheathing and the inner snake skin from the 4/0 AL Conductors and run the individual conductors up in the 2 '' Rigid Galvanized Steel Conduit Mast and out the attached Weatherhead for the Service Loop Connections.

Hi Ron, I have a question about backer board. I'm in PA and upgrading a service on property I just bought. It's mostly an open lot with bathrooms, a pavilion and some plugs. I removed the rusted rotted panel and plan on putting 2 -4x4 pressure treated posts in the ground with 5/4" decking horizontal to the 4x4's and putting a combo outdoor meter/breaker box with 2 new ground rods, (there were none before, just a wire into the ground stapled to the bottom of a rotted section of telephone pole). So the question, is the 5/4" pressure treated okay? should it be 2x4's? Painted plywood? Funny story for next time about the power being off "NOT" when I started working taking the stuff apart. Thanks,

Southwire EZLB200 Connector; 2"; Gray. Hi Ron love the videos did you ever use this LB Makes it easier when using 4/0 SE cable ? thanks Dave Murphy

Great video! One of the o key channels that shows the whole process. I’m over in Philly and the heat has been unreal. We’ve been in attics doing recessed lighting. Does NJ allow you to put the main at the bottom so you don’t have to run 4/0 from the bottom to the top? Or is that prohibited by that uniform code. We only have the 2017 NEC where I work

Building code also states that floor joists cannot have holes drilled less than 2 inches from the bottom of the edge. So always put your wires higher than 1 1/2 inches from the edge.

The grid can't take the EV power need and "they " won't improve it much. We will need 50 nuclear power plants to feed the future they seem to wish for. Remember, they are banning all natural gas appliances. Their plan is to deny you having a car in the future. If you are 20 years old now, I bet you will be denied a 2 car family or even a 1 car family by the time your 60.

What’s the reasoning for this customer to upgrade from 100 to 200 service ?

When the 2023 code adoption hits you will have to install a disco for a panel change with the new note In 230.85. In north jersey some inspectors are requiring it already

Happy 4th of July, Ron 🍺🍺as I get ready to celebrate Canada Day FP, my brother has BE116-20 with AL wires. The 30 amp dryer breaker kept tripping. He wants to replace the breaker, not the unit. We've discussed it, but it's hard to convince him.

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing.

I bought a house in 2019 with a home inspection that stated “ one half of receptacle in living room not working “. I went to a hallway switch, flipped it up, and amazingly the receptacle now worked!

I'm Abigail kiss fan I never got to go to a concert be cause of my parents are Babtest but I have a lot of there lps

My only complaint would be that I would have liked to see the GFCI mounted at an ADA accessible height.

Why did you install a main breaker panel along with a main breaker disconnect? Is the exterior service entrance disconnect required by code now? Years ago if I was putting in a main breaker panel I would come directly out of the meter housing and right into the main breaker panel with my service kick. There wouldn't be any exterior disconnect unless the main panel was located more than 3 ft inside the dwelling. If so then we would use a main breaker exterior disconnect with an interior main lug panel.

That aluminum siding is "fun", I have it on my home.

Excellent Job Ron!

Thank you for this! Novice here…If the wiring is 12/2 grounded at all junctions, why is gfci necessary?

How much does this usually cost to do changing service from 100 to 200?

Is that a medium roof?

Retired service tech from Schneider electric now living in AZ. I recently had problems with my outdoor 200 amp service. Had to replace a 30 amp circuit breaker for my outdoor AC unit. I took a temperature reading of the outside of the box when the sun was going down and would hit the box. The temperature was 150 degrees F. I found the high temperature out here causes nuisance c!b tripping and c/b failures. Way different than PA.

Florida Fans congratulations. Overall good post. Thanks

Ron, once again great video and content. Best regards from Chicago ...

How much does a service like this cost?

Hey Ron, how much does a job like this cost?

In NC we use bare copper wire for ground rods and tie in the meter base

24:28 if it breaks in half they own both halves! 🤣🤣 JK

I was wondering about the cost to upgrade a 100 to 200 amps panel in 2024. The last time I had this done was almost 10 years ago.

Cool trick with 2 by 4

How much would cost me labor and parts boss? I need upgrade my old house build 1978. I am in Seattle wa

Good video. I would like to learn how to properly crimp those spade connectors as I have issues using screw connections with THHN stranded wire.

When you cut the alive service wire, which one you cut first?

Good morning Ron! My question is what were you talking about when you were saying to make sure that the transformer had a lower fault current protection than the disconnect breaker? Maybe I’m misunderstanding? I’ve never heard of that. I’m just curious as to what that is? Thanks in advance for your response. BTW, great content. I love your channel.

You do great work

Thanks for recommending minimum of 40 full size breakers for new panel installs. My panel is an old Square D QO with 200 amps but only has 30 breaker spaces with 6 of those allowing twin breakers. I don't have any double breakers yet but my panel is full due mostly to my electric heating system. I don't even have space for an EV charger right now even if i could afford an EV.

Great video. Thank you for sharing

Is there any minimum distance from the electric meter to the gas meter?

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Love your videos as always! I like when my mains coming into the panel come in beside the lugs so i don't take up so much room in the side of the panel.

Sorry, but I do not get it… is this double tap situation when you are combining 2 circuits that respect the circuit load percentage? In certain regions double tapping is simply not allowed no matter the situation. Please if you can explain in more detail. Thanks

Soooooo loud I just bought one now in thinking no

We just add another breaker..and charge for it. Just to speed thing up

I was and electriction for maney years retired now but still have to do some side work
