If you pull a "Smart Meter" out here in Commiefornia .. they'll instantly know about it when it goes offline. The Utility company won't rush out to see what the issue is, but they will eventually pay your location a visit if it's offline for more than 1 hr. I upgraded my meter, panel and line to the pole to 200 amp over the course of two days .. PG&E did pay me a visit and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. They were scratching their heads .. just glad they didn't look at any dates on the panel or pull the meter since i was able to remove and replace the "tamper proof lock" on the meter :) I even painted all the new boxes and mast to match the house :) I've been doing electrical for many years and i don't suggest anything i did to anyone.. especially upgrading the line to the pole ! But i did the entire job for less than 2000 vs the 12k i was quoted.
Out of the blue, UA-cam recommended this video to me. One of my best friends who passed a few years ago was an electrician and he did the service on my house from fuse to 200 amp breaker. I had a lot of respect for him, because he did not take shortcuts. I enjoyed watching a bunch of your videos just a moment ago and have subscribed. Keep up the great work!
Mario, I've been doing this work for more than three decades. I come across good work, great work, and utter garbage. At this stage of the game I like to install equipment that's going to last and where one day many years from now someone might say "they don't build em like that anymore" when talking about the work I've left behind.
@@electricalron I wish more young people would get in the trades, we need them.
Dear Electron Ron,
Your willingness to share your expertise with us "wannabees" will not go unrecognized or unrewarded. Thanks for letting us see how it "should be done".
Great video Ron. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Sir, you are a professional and a craftsman. Rare these days where just "good enough" appears to be the rule. I recently discovered your channel and have learned a lot. Thank you for all the time it takes to create these videos. I appreciate the effort it takes. Best from Alabama. BTW, I saw your Milwaukee jacket with the illuminated logo... Looked it up... Heated! Not much need for that here, but it is nice to know they make one... Best!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
I would love to see a long complete walk through of your van. I really respect a contractor who comes to jobs with the correct tools and the supplies to do the jobs. You seem to me your that man. I like your videos,keep them coming
The lessons learned in the US Navy has had me squared away for liife!
@@electricalron The military really teaches order. A buddy of mine was in the air force and I envy his discipline to put things away where they belong, quickly tidy up clutter, and just always have a constant sense of order.
@@aaron74 keeping the job clean and the truck organized says a lot about the work I’m going do, especially to customers who do see the inside of my van.
Merry Christmas Ron. I was wondering what those black connections were at the top of the new panel box. Never saw them before. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Very informative.
Those are called Black Button connectors. They’re made by Arlington.
I've not seen a panel where the wires can be pressed in slots on the top before. Also, why was the panel installed so close to the ceiling as it looks like you have little room for wire management on top. BTW, there are no "mistakes" Ron, its called adaptability to a particular situation. Better to adjust then to blow it off and take short cuts. You make this look so easy and appreciate your attention to detail.
This is a special Square D Homeline panel. The slots up not are unique and new to the Homeline panels. They save time on labor but are not suggested on older homes with armored ‘bx’ cables for obvious reasons. Glad you enjoy the videos!
If you drill a hole for a TAPCON and the hole blows out, use bare copper wire to stick in the hole. Then drive that screw in. Also structural GRK screws can work to. 😊
I’ve done that with the GRK’s but not the Tapcon’s.
Check it out. It's Junior's tree service. 😂
Also, could you provide info on the fittings used for the grounding block and enclosure you provide on the outside of the house so other vendors can attach their ground wires. Thanks.
Hey Ron, good video! I noticed you were wearing a Milwaukee heated jacket - does it work well?
It’s awesome.
Hi Ron, Question on Ark-Fault Breakers. When doing a existing panel upgrade from 100amp load center to a 200 amp are AFCI breakers required in your area? OR are these breakers only required for new home installs?
I also have the same question.
Do you have a shop where you prefab all the wood you bolt down for new panels? Like the green-treated 2x4s with the countersunk holes for the bolts, and the 3/4" ply that is already painted and ready to go? Or do you pick up these materials at an electrical supply house?
I usually buy supplies from Home Depot and cut to spec on the job.
@@electricalron You even paint the ply onsite too? That is really impressive and a nice professional touch. Most work I see the contractors just mount naked plywood.
@@aaron74 the plywood mounting board is prepared and painted at my house. Everything else on site.
Where is part 2?
This is part 2! Part III will be coming soon.
@@electricalron Ok waiting for part III
Hello Ron, your video is really impressive! Any chance for us to work together to install and review our security camera system? I had emailed you the details of the proposal, hope can get your feedback and move forward!
