    really video and I leanred a lot! I have a quick question, centerpoint in Houston just moved the power pole in my backyard to another location. what kind of electrician should I look for to do the underground service installation? and will the power line and internet cable go into one conduit and will be connect by the electrician in one job? Do I need to call AT&T or something? thank you!

    • @Kisselectric
      @Kisselectric 4 місяці тому

      They may do it for you for a fee however a local residential contractor can handle it. As far as multiple utilities going in the same ditch, they probably will have to be separated either by depth or width. AT&T will likely send their own contractors to do the work. Thanks for watching!

    What kinda siding going on the house? If its brick your in a bad way as you should mount your meter base main on the surface of the brick. Same thing if aluminum or vinyl siding. They cant get the siding behind the meter base. They will have to work around it and thats not goid because after a few years water will get behind the meter and rot away the wood.

    • @Kisselectric
      @Kisselectric 4 місяці тому

      I agree with you as far as there is a potential for water to get behind it. I believe the siding guy will J-channel around it and also break in some aluminum. Thanks for watching!

    Appreciate the really nice explanation of how this is done. Just a couple of quick questions: 1. It appeared that you immediately backfilled after laying and securing the conduit. When are inspections done in your area for depth and correct conduit thickness? 2. How does one handle a situation if the house in not complete and ready for mounting the electrical box, can a temporary location (close to the house) be used to install the temporary service. Do you ever do this type of install? Thanks and again great job.

    • @Kisselectric
      @Kisselectric 6 місяців тому

      We call for the inspection after we lay the pipe. We use sweeping 90’s that are 3’. We do so much work in that area the inspectors know us quite well. We use the temporary power pole until we have complete the service. We have the utilities company disconnect the temp and terminate the power to the new dwelling at the same time.

    Shouldn’t you be removing the neutral to ground bonding strap? I think that is there only for 3 wire installs. Similar to how you don’t bond ground and neutrals in a sub panel.

    Just wondering if you ran the wires up and over the window and over rather than through at the roof hip bearing as well due to a dull drill bit or are they enforcing some kind of code kink down there. Also wondered on your last one if they let yall leave your staples loose at the boxes there or was that staple filmed "mid install". Thanks for the vids. Im a licensed master plumber with a full mechanical license here in Tennessee and am scheduled to tale my electrical exam next month. These vids help a lot.

    • @Kisselectric
      @Kisselectric 10 місяців тому

      I leave a little slack in between the staple and the wire. The staple is for a guide and some support. If the staple is tight against the wire the you will have a nuisance tripping arc fault breaker. The breaker will think the wire is pinched and will not work. Then you will have problems and the sheetrock will already be up. As far as the Romex being under or over a window, it really depends on whether or not there is a receptacle we have to get to. I have a 18” auger bit so I’m able to drill through all the studs! I always go back and put nail plates on where they are required.

    I thought code since at least 2017 requires 2 ground rods at least 6 feet apart and the conductor from panel must be a single continuous wire that connects to both ground rods. At least that is what I read in a 2017 code book.

    • @johndavies2949
      @johndavies2949 5 місяців тому

      You only need1rod as your supplementary grounding electrode if you have a ufer ground or a cold water pipe grounding electrode with at least 10' of bonded copper water pipe extending from the house. After the 10' you can change to plastic.

      The code says 25 ohms of resistance or less to ground is required and if it isn’t then add another grounding electrode. In most cases around here due to the fact that the earth has good soil.
