Great. Best electrical explanation. Every single question I would have had was answered as he went. Great camera work as well showing every step up close. Amazing. Applause Mr. Peacock.
Great video full of useful tips! If anyone is still wondering what exactly the GFCI does (a more technical explanation), it monitors the "in" and "out" current through the plug and if they don't match, it interrupts (breaks) the circuit. This happens when something (you, water, a short...) connects to the plug and "steals" electrons, hence the "ground fault" in the name. I.e. the current finds an alternative path to ground (through your body perhaps) other than the plug. In this case, there will be an imbalance between the amount of current that enters and exits the plug which the device detects and breaks the connection.
Thank you for this. The perfect balance of DIY and pro tips. Kudos!
Just used this video to guide me and give me the confidence to do the job myself and save a couple hundred bucks. I have novice electrical skills but this was extremely helpful. Great job putting this video together and thanks for all the details, this electrician does a great job!!
This content was so awesome! I was able the follow this video (with the supervision of an electrician) and installed two wall outlets in my garage, and connect it to the GFCI outlet in the ceiling for the garage door. Later I installed 4, 6" recessed LED lights (on a different circuit) and the garage is awesome now!
This channel is always so good! I appreciate this Electrition give me a detailed explanations. Very well done thank you very much! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
This was very informative for my project. I loved the fact you gave specific info and tips that my brain would have never questioned. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, great video. I am now studying electrician at a College after my 53 years of age, just for fun and to be CERTIFIED so I can do my own installations at home once I am PROFICIENT and CERTIFIED. Video like yours help us A LOT.
Cheers
Great video. I'm glad you didn't over-edit it and cut out any of the minor details because we all generally know how to do this, it's the little tips and tricks along the way that really help.
Just sharing a little trick.... you could run the Romex through the wall and into the panel first... then slide the metal connecter onto the Romex, which will guide it in place in order for the connector to be fastened to the panel. you don't need to make the hole larger to fit your fingers into it....
I found this to one of the most informative videos. There were no parts where you were suddenly coming back and saying now that's done and not showing what you did. Mr. Peacock is very professional in his instructions. Again well done.
Thank you, Charlie! 🙂
The only thing I was left wondering was the part where he mentioned that the power tester lets you know when wires are not installed properly.. would it work if the wires are backwards?? That's the only thing that was "missed" ... otherwise great video.
Thanks for all the great info and the awesome video just installed my first dedicated 20 amp outlet in my garage for my Lincoln welder and my smoker. It was super simple after watching you video and went really smoothly had all the parts and supplies I needed to do the job interruption free
Thanks for this video, as a DIY'er, all the videos I've seen have been panels where there 4 sides are accessible, and here in Cary, my house is done similar to yours with drywall surrounding the panel. Now I feel armed with enough information to tackle this properly.
Thanks Paul! I’m glad the video was helpful 🙂 If you tackle any work yourself though, PLEASE take all precautions and seek professional guidance. That’s cool you live in Cary-I’ve done more work out there than I can remember. Give Harrison a call, team serves your area!
Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, or why I watched it (because I already know how to do this), but I think you did a fantastic job and explained really well for the DIY’er.
Thank you, awesome tutorial on adding an outlet. I'm doing the same thing in my garage. Adding an outlet and elimination of wiring to motion light outside. That is where I'll pick up the hotwire from the light switch to the outlet.
Thanks. This is the most cogent instruction on installing a new circuit that I've seen. Excellent communication.
As an electrician myself (qualified in Australia but live in the great state of Florida now), I know this MC is difficult to make look good (as observed of other electricians' lazy efforts). I'm about to use it in my workshop and I hold high aesthetic standards like Harrison. He has done an awesome job and shown me that it is certainly doable. Thank you for the video mate!
Thanks, Michael!
I m from venezuela and live in florida from 2018 and work as electrician, I love my job and sometimes hate the work
Australia is a mistery for me
I do a lot of DIY but never electrical stuff. I call my electric guy lol. But this video is so thorough, I feel less intimidated about adding outlets to my breaker box on my own. I installed my own Ring doorbell and it was so easy! Great video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for the video. I recently added a circuit to my panel for my garage and your video was pretty much exactly how I did it. So I’m thinking I did it right. Inspector came out and inspected it and said good job.🤙
This helped me figure out how the metal box refit gets the front faceplate secured to it. It's nothing like interior plugs that are in the wall. Excellent!

Best instructional DIY I EVER saw. Thorough and just enough info. Perfect.
He was as much a joy to watch (and learn) as YOU! very good instructors! My thanx! Blessings to both of you and yours!
I don’t think I’ve watched a 50 min video on UA-cam . I have now ! Great video 🙌🏼. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight 🙏🏼.
That covered a lot of information in a short period of time. Thanks for doing that even if most of us will never add a breaker simply because we are not qualified to do so BUT in an emergency we at least know how to respond and know what we are looking at when we get to the panel.
Outstanding video with full detailed step-by-step instructions. Learned a lot. Now I see I have a few things I should go back to update the DIY projects I did over 10-15 years ago 😄. Thanks.
One of the best videos I've seen that gave the best detail steps and explanation of what's being done, thanks.
You should wrap the ground in a clockwise manner around the ground screw in that box. That way it tightens rather than opening up.
I was going to comment the same thing.
The wire does not terminate at that screw. Look again.
@@ethelryan257 It does not matter if it terminates or not. The wire must be around the screw clockwise, because the screw tightens clockwise.
I saw him do it counterclockwise with his finger first, so I predicted correctly that he would do it wrong. The wire must be around the screw clockwise, because the screw tightens clockwise. I am an electrician in Canada. Counterclockwise wrapping of wire around a screw or terminal is a very basic error, and demonstrates sloppy workmanship. I would never hire this company.
This is the most basic principle of wire attachment to a terminal screw. If you don't know this one, you shouldn't be doing electrical.
Can’t thank you enough, this video is perfect. Finished my new outlet install without a hitch. Thank you!!!!!
>i
Because of this video I wired up 3 bedrooms bathroom kitchen outlets sockets light switches name it. I even got main power from the breaker box on the basement. Thank you thanks a million ur 10 minutes video helped me dramatically truth be told I’m a mechanic for years and I never did this work at all. And because of you I succeeded thanks man
Most likely the best video I've seen on this. To the point, very clear to see and understand, and professionally done.
Congrats its the best installation tutorial Ive seen...thnks...
I admit that while I now feel confident in doing this myself, I will still bring in my local electrician so that I know it's done right. 🙂 Thank you for your content!
When it comes to electrical, you can't have too much respect.
Even something simple like a screw not tight enough could result in a fire
A long but very useful video. Thank you both for the review of how it’s done. Thanks too for covering important safety & NEC requirements. Very neat panel, so I’ll excuse the previous electrician not wanting to try to fix sloppy drywall work at bottom left corner of panel cover. Also glad to see that the original, NEC-compliant screws were still there to hold the panel cover on. Great job Harrison. Thanks to Honest Carpenter for putting this together.
Gearing up to do something similar in my garage. Very informative primer. Thanks!
I am 1.5ish hours away from Cary in Greenville NC. Subbed for local support! Harrison is a great teacher. Running a new outlet tomorrow based on this video.
I went to ecu! Small world
@@JaridMitchell Nice! Wilmington native but living in G Vegas.
Just first note, always wrap the ground wire in the direction the screw goes to tighten, he looped the wire on the screw in the opposite direction, that worked only because it had a long tail on it otherwise it would have spun the wire away from the screw and a bad connection. Never pull on wires like he did to remove outside cover, 17 yrs experience or not, copper does stretch and get weak. These are just my observations
I would have run EMT with an offset into the panel directly. That box is unnecessary and not professional. Not to mention all the other things others have committed on.
British code says wrap the ground backwards. lol
@@jjyemg2397 seriously?
Indeed that’s always my way and what I think is the right way, wrapping the wire clockwise around the screw. But this applies only when there is one free end of the copper wire which is not the case here so it’s all good.
@@maxwang2537 NO. I was being facetious
Four years old and is still very helpful and informative.
Nice blend of diy and professional skills making the video easy to follow and learn. There were some faux paux but nothing critical, just individual preferences. Keeping on pumping out the videos, the rough edges will be smooth out.
Nice work guy. You did an awesome job explaining your work. The one thing I noticed you did not do is tighten the connector at the romex end to the panel knockout.
What I would have done is measure out and cut the approximate length of wire that is required for inside the panel and tighten the connector to the romex wire at the spot where the wire would enter the panel. Then push the wire with the connector attached to match up with the knockout from the panel. That way, the both ends of the romex wire would be properly secured to the can and panel knockout connectors.
Damn i watched the whole thing. This was super informative, I need another receptacle in my garage as well and this made everything very clear!
If you have no receptacle in your garage then follow this video. If you already have at least one receptacle, you can start from one of them to avoid touching the breaker panel. That is what I did in my garage as the closest receptacle is too far from where I really need.
Check codes, not allow the metallic cable. Thanks.....Jim
I'm a first year apprentice and I've learned alot in this video. Thank you. I've done a few of these installations in a condominium. I have the same commercial electric 12-1 🙏
Excellent walk-thru of the job. Harrison, you are a great trainer. Thanks Honest Carpenter for hosting this video.
This video was exactly what I was looking for! I am an EE so I understand the concepts but the application and the code were beyond me. I love the way you did this. It is a garage, it doesn't have to be nicer than this. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! Does code ever allow a non GFCI outlet in the garage?
Older codes didn't cover this, my condo built in the early 70s didn't have GFCIs..
Your answer is "it depends". It depends where you live.
North Dakota has a state code supplement that allows for the garage door opening, a single recepticle, to not require gfci protection. I believe this is to prevent their people from having to climb on their cars or trucks to reset that gfci.
Your area may or may not do the same. Call the building inspectors to be safe.
Good video. However you used a 2 screw romex connector at the top off the panel, but u didn’t tighten the 2 screws because the drywall was in the way. Next time, thread the romex thru the connector, tighten the 2 screws, take off the lock ring, thread the romex down into the panel, thread the lock ring back up and tighten. Now it’s to code and the romex isn’t going anywhere if yanked.
The guy in the video may indeed be licensed but he does lack some experience. M G's point should be well noted. Also he should have started with a wall-board saw and not a chisel for crying out loud. I'm not going to watch the rest.
@@shawnhayden6674 Yea calling drywall anchors "connectors" gives away a lack of experience
Ive watch many videos of "running electricity to a garage. This video is by far the most inclusive and informed video. Thank you.
Great video sir, I learned something new. Have a great day!
Im electrician almost 10 years in NYc n i can say that you explained very good, I have only two small objections 1. You didn’t screwed up that romex with connector in the panel ( if u don’t wanna break the wall u could just use arlington romex connector )
2. Put el tape on gfi for extra protection ( im not saying this because of you we both got enough experience those are basic thing but for the beginners yes )
never tightened romex connector on panel. I would have put the romex connector on the wire and fished it down to the panel
Yep
Great video. Thanks for the detailed install!
I would have done the same so the wire into the panel is tight in the connector.
What about using the dogs( pump pliers) backwards.
I have to put a couple of 20 Amp circuits in my garage. This is exactly what I have to do, down to the same panel box and breakers. Thanks. Though I knew how to do 90% of it, I picked up a couple of nuggets. I'm not intimidated by the box because you can shut off all power while working in there. If you make a wrong connection, your breaker will trip. Then you just have to shut it off and try again. The existing wires will show you where to put the new wires. The pain in the butt part of a lot of electrical work is running wires behind the sheetrock. That may necessitate making a lot of holes, drilling through studs, fishing wires, and then repairing and painting the sheetrock. Done tons and tons of that in both my old and new houses. I learned by doing and reading some books. Now you just have to watch videos like this. Two Thumbs Up!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very informative. Great teaching.
I would have wrapped ground wire in box clockwise around the screw so when tightening the screw clockwise it tends to pull the wire tighter not loosen the curved wire.
This guy is good, I love how easy this is to understand, great video.
Very neat job/well done with minimal inexpensive tools. Thanks
Sweet. I’m gonna follow the same steps this guy did to add a plug in my garage.
Let’s go down to the comment section and see what the experts have to say.
Well done video.
Code failures:
-Ground wire wrapped around screw in wrong direction (appears that he has done this wrong for 17 years, as he did it wrong in both 4x4 boxes)
-Stripping of AC90 (MC or BX) armoured cable, it is a failure to bend the AC90 to strip it, bending it this manner can damage the conductor insulation.
-Stripping the individual conductors with side cutters.
-New Receptacle is rated for 15amps not 20 amps.
-And the most sever code failure is working on a live Panel, let alone without proper PPE.
That being Category 1 Arc Flash Protection, consisting of
-Long Sleeve Shirt (or Jacket) and Pants or AR Coverall with minimum arc rating of 4 cal/cm2
-Face Shield (with “wrap around” guarding…i.e balaclava) or Arc Flash Suit Hood
-Heavy-Duty Leather Gloves over a pair of class 00 electrical insulated gloves
-Hard Hat, Eye Protection (Glasses, Goggles), Hearing Protection and proper safety boots.
His license could be suspended and at the very least he could be severely fined.
I hope know one is injured following this video as a guide even though the makers take no responsibility for others, you are responsible for the work you do, and that is a failure.

@@derekparent752 well said. Agreed.
@@derekparent752 I fully intended to use this as a guide until reading your comment. The fact that I require guidance makes me unqualified to amend the video with your notes and feel confident that I've got a complete set of instructions so... you've convinced me to hire an electrician.
@@derekparent752 A duplex receptacle is two receptacles. The requirement for 20A receptacles applies for a single receptacle on a 20A circuit, meaning a simplex. He installed a duplex receptacle which counts as two and can be 15A-rated. Additionally, all 15A receptacles are rated for 20A pass-through.
I was surprised to see a professional using diagonal cutters to strip MC and then mess around with lock nuts instead of stripping it in 2 seconds with a rotosplit and popping it into a snap-in connector. And there's absolutely no reason not to kill power for a couple minutes to make the final connection in a residence.
So.. the whole point of the junction box sitting above the panel was just to allow for a passthrough of the electrical wire thru the drywall? It didn't offer any other specific function?
Great job demonstration thank you 👍
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for the video.
Pro tip: If you use flexible conduit from the panel to the Jbox, you will have easy access for future circuitry.
Great idea
Personally i like to work backwards from outlet and final termination to j box last
Me 2. Then you don't have the panel open or wires dangling in the panel while you route the cable or wire up the receptacle.
Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial!
Very detailed and comprehensive. Thank you
Stripping the wire is better done with a wire stripper instead of a wire cutter. I am surprised that this pro electrician did not have a wire stripper !!!
This man did a great job in installing AND teaching us how to do this. Thank you very much.
I personally use automatic strippers. they are fast and better when it comes to stripping . If you're not a electrician or have never done this before you definitely will hit the copper with wire cutters.
Good to see you’re wearing a non connective ring. What do you have against wire strippers?
Excellent video from start to finish! Thank you !!!!
Awesome video guys very well explained 👏🏼👍🏼 can’t wait to see the next one. Thanks again 🙏🏻😁
Having the neutrals bonded to ground in the panel has nothing to do with how close the meter is. You bond the neutral at the first service disconnecting means..ie the first ocpd.
Great video. Great instruction. One big thing I would do is to use a screwdriver and hand tighten instead of a power screwdriver to tighten things from the dry wall anchors to the box. Also, he didn’t stress that the utility service lines will always be live. The way he had has hands close to them make it seem like they aren’t
He did stress that the bus bar would be live.
Very helpful! Thank you for super detailed installation video!
An electrician who cleans up after himself. What a novel concept. Great video! A good job is often in the details and you covered them.
Thanks Dennis! 😁
How did you tighten the screws down on the cable inside the wall? You cant use setscrew type connectors on aluminum jacketed MC cable.
Waaaaahh
@@FightingSportsMedia Yeah, because electrical safety is a total joke. Who cares if a house burns down with the family inside? Right?
This project fits one of the scenarios where I really like to use Wago connectors now. They are great when working on something where future modification is likely. That junction box above the panel is just an invitation to add more outlets to that circuit.
excellent & professional job, thank you.
Very clean work, with a clear explanation.
Does Harrison have a UA-cam Channel? Really enjoyed the way he teaches
He’s great on camera, BabyNes! Very knowledgeable. He doesn’t have one yet, but you never know...🙂
@@TheHonestCarpenter qq
Apart from everything else... I think they they have a tool called wire strippers. I have some and they are amazing, haven't used anything else since I got them. ;D
Brilliant work. Well done!. Thank you very much!
That was incredibly educational. Thank you!
always screw into breaker before installing into panel to avoid slipping while tightening breaker screws and landing yourself or tools into hot energized panel
Man, Rimmers skills have definitely improved from his days on Red Dwarf!
This is outstanding thanks for taking time to do this for our favorite woodworker.Bottom line
Thank you for the very thorough explanation!
Nice job. Not a fan of the armored clad flex cable either. Prefer emt, or pvc conduit to make a run for a new box; but, good job making it look beautiful 😊
It's important for non professionals to understand that working in a live panel is extremely dangerous but even more dangerous without arc flash protection for your face eyes hands and upper body at minimum.
Please make sure you do not attempt this with out looking at arc flash accidents and learning the proper safety protections that you must use. It's life saving for anyone regardless of experience.
I did the same thing. Added a GFCI breaker and 3 outlets in the garage. Now there’s plenty of power where I need it.
Awsome tutorial. Many thanks.
that's 6 inches? Please dont show that to my wife.
“I know what 6 inches looks like, and what 10 inches feels like. Please don’t tell my husband.”

@@dylconnaway9976 🤣😂
I was taught that when using metal boxes, the receptacle or switch should be wrapped with electrical tape, covering the terminal screw heads to prevent contact with the metal box. Yes, No, Maybe So?
I think it was more of a habit when there wasn't grounded wire. Hot wire hitting this system should trip the breaker, but I have tapped outlets/switches just to prevent any issues. Cheap and quick insurance to any project
I once made a dumb mistake where I tested a switch with no tape wrapped around it that was suspended by its wires outside of the metal box that it was install in, and I flipped the breaker back on, then came back and pressed the switch and accidentally made contact with the edge of the metal box. It momentarily arced and sent some sparks flying, but it did NOT trip the breaker and the breaker recently installed.
It was a stupid thing to do, but if I had wrapped the switch with tape before turning the power back on to test it, then it probably wouldn't have shorted and arced against the box. Long story short, in some cases you just can't count on the breaker tripping in time, and if tape can help prevent arcing, then it's always worth it.
chillywilly3610 it should trip breaker but there will be an explosion in the box. Most outlets can fit in most boxes fine but when working with a GFCI it’s always best to tape
It's not a code requirement, but it's a smart thing to do for a few reasons
Excellent video, and the safety cautions were very good.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative and helpful.
Speaking the Queens proper English!
Great video
Since 2018 Code (North America) requires an arc-fault breaker even in a garage. Or is that just Canada?
In Canada if the garage is attached to the house you need a arcfault breaker but not a gfci unless there is sink within 1.5 meters ( the gfci think could vary by province though)
NEC (US) requires an arc fault breaker here, from even before, i think 2 code cycles back, BUT implementation and which version of the NEC is at a local level. I'm in Nashville and here they only require arc fault breakers in bedrooms. I'm not sure if they are using an older version of the code book or simply not enforcing, but it's all about the extra 800-900 dollars in breakers it would cost to comply with newer code. I'm guessing because this is him adding a circuit to an older panel in a job that's not being inspected, he's not spending the extra 40 dollars for an arc fault breaker.
GREAT VIDEO!!! I know I will be referring back to this. Great tips!
I like the screws in the vertical mode because they do not hold dirt as much. Seems many new commercial builds are now putting the outlet ground on the top. Great video picked up lots of good tips.
Not an electrician but I have done DIY projects and distinctly remember being told to put the ground on top so anything sliding down the wall would only hit the ground pin. If by some miracle something DID hit the wall and manage to also hit a plug. I don't know how often that was supposed to actually ever happen. But in any case, I never see outlets done that way. Every outlet has the ground at the bottom. So I'm thinking the rule I was told about wasn't actually all that true.
Hey thanks for the video but I thought you weren't supposed to use MC cable where it could be subject to physical damage.
Exactly. Code violation here.
Tim Rich in Canada at least, bx can be used in exposed locations. Whole point why it’s armoured
"subject to physical damage" = somewhat fuzzy. Its permissible (in the US) by code to use MC exposed, and MC is harder to damage physically than, say, romex. I think most inspectors would pass this install, although if one wanted to fail you on this they could. If one was worried about it, the thing to do would be 1 fish the mc directly into the panel knockout from up higher on wall so it wasn't exposed lower, with the connector already on it so you could get the lock-ring and 2 use a changeover so the couple feet coming down the wall into the box w the gfci could be EMT. That way the MC would only be exposed up high and there wouldn't be a junction box right above the panel. but it's whatever, for a job that isn't being inspected this is fine.
How did you tighten the Romex connector on the panel knockout? Lol
You just turn the lock nut onto the threads.
Was thinking the same thing he never tightened the clamp screws on the connector
@@ti3167 he should have tightened them onto the cable then fed the cable and clamp into the panel then put on the nut
I wouldn't try to do it myself but watching you was an education mate, that is a job for a professional electrician like yourself👍!
Thankyou. I so hate to run extensions across my garage floor for the stationary equipment on that side. Now I'm going to install a receptacle from the box which is on that side of the garage. Which I should have done years ago.
