I think if you wanna get a man's permission to do business in his home, prob don't market in ways that allege you're a threat to his marriage relationship. Joke or not.

What's the HP on your pump, and what size wire is required?

No sound ?

😂😂

Man i wish panels in my area of the country came surface mounted with that much space to work the conductors. We're out here cutting into adobe to swap the buried 50 year old panels.

Lmao

Someone’s been in the office to long

The panel pro was already there, you’ve must’ve done work here before

I actually did a panel change once DIY. That was the most stressful 10 hours of my life. I had to arrange it so the inspector arrived at a specific time so I could get his approval so I could then get the power company to turn my power back on. Making sure I was done BEFORE the inspector arrived was terrifying. But $3,000 quoted from electrician vs 10 hours high stress DIY means I was making myself $300 an hour. Not bad! I wouldn't do that for a living though...

you should get it inspection even if you do it yourself thing could go Wong you want to be safe.

how'd you know which wire goes to which breaker when redoing the whole box?

Grounding electrode conductors have to be landed on the neutral bar Article 250.24(A)(1)

Panel changes or upgrades in our area require a new sticker from code enforcement before the utility will reset the meter….

Surface mounted panel in a basement with all exposed Romex on a piece of plywood, that as simple as panel changes can get.

Good but I can do better jaja

Lately I’ve run across this and it was utility related…each time..

Very well said! This is why we are fully licensed and insured, in the end we always have all the liability . Usually the government authority doing the inspection has zero liability.

Loose neutral

lol 😂

You didnt leave enough wire in the in use boxes

LOL. This is comedy gold. Happy fourth bro

😂😂😂😂

If an issue arrives the liability is 100% on you versus shifting liability to the ahj

American home installations are an utter mess compared to European ones. Just look at this cabinet, that's how we build them in the seventies

No PPE plus bundling violation? Noice

You managed to get your cables inside the wall right up to the panel but then had to cut a hole you could drive a truck through to feed them through a grommet? Then filled the hole with a plastic panel that matched nothing in its surroundings. Hmm.

Meh.. the actual video content was OK, I guess, but I pretty much immediately thumbs-downed it just for the obnoxious music over the top of everything. And why was the camera so far away from everything you were doing? And really, how often are you ever going to have exactly this situation where you need to take out exactly that much of the space below the panel, and nothing else? Seems just a wee bit contrived, TBH...

Where can I get one of those!?

Damn that’s pretty cool

You are not licensed or you would pull permits simply put it's homeowners responsibility to make sure you are licensed to do the work or you would want 10.000 to 15.0000 but you took 1700 hundred lol you are a fool if you are licensed contractor

The whole permitting and inspection process is definitely a pain and I avoid it when possible

Looks like a flip. Was this a reconnect gone bad?

Avoid getting the government involved whenever possible.

I get 100% get what your saying; however, don't forget that fundamentally permits and inspections started because of safety issues. I'm sure you know better than anyone that a lot of people think they know how to work on electrical but actually don't and are creating major hazards.

There is absolutely no way your licensed! You do not have to add an arch fault for a service upgrade. You also left 2 big 🍎 on the inside of the panel. Back right and left.

When to pull a permit? Never.

I can't judge the work at all, I have no idea if this is a job well done or not, and will leave that to experts to opine/debate. Nor will I judge the good intent. With that said, I have been told directly by people in the know that one of the things insurance companies (who despite whatever their mottos may be "on your side" or "in good hands" or "like a good neighbor", are extremely motivated to find reasons not to have to pay out for a loss) love to look for in loss incidents involving residential fires is whether there is evidence of un-permitted electrical work. And even if the non-permitted work had absolutely nothing to do with the fire, it is still grounds to deny a payout, and they will often use it as a negotiating point to settle a claim at a significantly reduced cost.

i need a new panel and garage sub, stop on by

The sad partabout it is that pulling permits is supposed to protect us from unsafe work but at the same time when they start adding other shit to it like wired smoke detectors....they are causing an undue financial hardship on people who may not be able to afford it. I had the city come at me and tell me the moment i had all the electric stuff updated that i also had to have a 60k water suppression system installed. They were ruthless

Protect yourself get a permit

i mean the description of who's living there just makes me think you are wrong in what you did. modernizing the safety of a home with elderly and a child in it is the right move even if they have to eat out for 2-3 days.

I get why you did this. Now the upgraded panel no longer matched the age of the house. There will be questions when the house is sold. Maybe not today, but it will be sold eventually. Without a permit it may not be approved for closing. And without a permit and inspection fire insurance may very well not cover any claims. Then what happens to all those people who get displaced? Your a licensed electrician? You have put yourself in a very precarious position. Your license, your livelihood and your personal finances are now in jeopardy.

Definitely the panel pal and not panel pro. Let’s do better for paying customers and at least give them a final product that meets code MINIMUMS. Aught to see what the AHJ in Lawrenceville, GA thinks.

I'm not an electrician but I've been around electrical with my career as a younger man, plus I was lucky to grow up in the 70s when they actually had shop classes in school. and I've rewired 3 homes completely, rewired a 15,000 sq/ft commercial building, and rewired my complete farm 4 buildings and I've never gotten a permit, the only time I did get a permit was when I got a electrician to change my service on my pole so I could install a generator switch on a new 400amp service on my farm. the dangerous messes I've ripped out is crazy, been electrocuted 3 times because of other people doing insane things that made absolutely no sense at all. Changed 3 panels live with no problems, used a generator to keep the job site lit so I could see. I've more than likely saved myself at least $50-70k over the past 35 years doing it myself, but like I said I was lucky I grew up in the 70s when schools actually taught you useful things

Any time an electrician tells you "you don't need to pull a permit, and inspectors don't know shit", run away as fast as you can and *never let them touch your house.* Those are exactly the kind of cocky assholes who half the time have never even learned how to do things correctly to begin with, have probably never even looked at a code book, and will pull all kinds of shady and dangerous crap because they don't know any better or think they can get away with it. I've personally seen it many times. This guy isn't a professional, he's a *hack,* and he might just burn your house down. (Plus, if anybody finds out that you did something this major without a permit, you'll never get an insurance company to ever be willing to cover your house again, or pay out if something does happen, and you may have problems even being able to sell the house to someone else down the line.)

You didn't pull a permit because your work is shoddy. I see how you routed those branch circuits into the panel. You know the inspector would shoot you down for your code violations, and you're making excuses that every residential electrician worth their salt knows are lies. If you do the job right and prep for the panel swap, they should only be without power for 4-8 hours. Absolutely shameful. I hope your second rate work catches up to you.

Did you change it live?

Good stuff chief thanks for the video

100 amp service 65 feet away to a barn what depth of burry wire

The good ol 18”
