Sit down and relax in front of the computer as a virtual electrician, without the risk of physical electric shock! Learn the tricks of the trade and become the best professional this city has ever seen!
Repair
Just like in real life, in Electrician Simulator you will be fixing broken stuff, assembling sockets, repairing gamepads, remote controls, speakers, plugs, chandeliers, changing light bulbs, and laying wires.
Storyline
Get to know your clients and solve their problems. This true-to-life plot is bound to make you feel like a real electrician! Remember to get all the necessary gear before you meet the client, and make sure to check everything twice. There is no place for mistakes!
Contracts
What could be more interesting than new challenges? This job just never gets boring! Check your work inbox regularly and accept various orders - from small tasks to complex electrical installations! Remember to measure the strength of intentions - being an electrician is not just fun and games. Poorly done work can have serious consequences! It is better not to annoy customers.

"The guy before me did it wrong".
You, my friend are NOW officially an electrician. 😂
Lol yes that is how I work.
😂😂👊🏻
ive cut it twice and its still too short
@@riceboy-iw2jb what is?
Yep. It's the first phrase you need to learn to get successful electrics exam! 🤣
To tell the truth I worked for a security company once and I had to call and hire an electrician from the state to replace one light bulb on the front of the guard shack because it was to close to power lines for anyone in the company to legally change it
That makes sense
In Germany you aren’t technically allowed to change a light bulb yourself by law, doesn’t matter what sort. Same with those things that make out our one electrical plug multiple ones. Technically you aren’t allowed to plug them in either
@@TheMinecrafterLP1507 ide die.....in America we wire our own houses no matter how stupid you are only time it matter is when you call the inspector immediately after you build your house or call it a barn...lol
Had a lot of single light bulb calls from old folks homes because the ceiling lights were a height risk for staff when I was doing electrical. It happens.
Our city has "programs" to certify neat powerline and has a second one working near trolly car power cables
I like how it says "Certificate of Competition"... It's a cut throat world out there in the electrician universe.
Either he just entered a competition "tutorial" OR the school/licenser handing out the certificates are 3rd party cheapos.
Lots of companies get electricians to change bulbs in office buildings warehouses and factories all the time also rich people who have high up “cathedral” type lights they will do that as well… now if you’re just getting someone to change a basic bulb I also feel sorry for you lol most likely that sounds like a set up for a weird niche porn or something
As a electrician I have no idea why anyone would want to simulate my job.its as boring as the game except you actually get shocked.
Why are you handling live wires?
Eh it's not that boring. There's more boring jobs out there. Like most office jobs... Not offence to those who do it, I just don't get how you could sit there all day filling data sheets.
Drae, on the main fuse box the colors on the switchs means:
* red -> "danger" (current on wires)
* green -> "safe" (NO current on wires)
Red rhymes with dead which is what you will be if you touch a live circuit, and green is good meaning your all good to do your work
He literally said it out loud, then congratulated himself on reading it... and then immediately left it on red and shocked himself......
I actually did have to bring in an electrician to change a lightbulb... Didn't hire them, because they were a friend, but still. What happened was whoever had installed the fixture did such a poor job of it that when I tried to change the bulb myself, the fixture itself popped and showered sparks so... Yeah, no way in hell I was touching that
Did you turn of the power, (I'm assuming you did)
@@aguythatyoudontknow5829 You don't need to turn off the power to change a lightbulb if you have common sense not to go touchy touchy to the base of the bulb, lol.
As an electrician, I wish it was this easy to wire a circuit breaker panel!!!
Agreed.
And the whole "1 wire for everything" situation would be nice to have IRL, Lmao.
I apprenticed a electrician and we got hired to change light bulbs and reset gfi plugs 😂 sometimes it made sense because the light fixtures were really expensive or hard to get to. Older people would rather hire someone then get on a ladder
As an electrician myself, the elderly call us quite often for simply fixes. We do it for free since they have no one else to ask.
Im **shocked** that Drae played this, twice even, before any of our resident engineers played it xD Where the heck are Blitz and Real Civil Engineer on this one?
They had a whole eight months since your last vid and yet, nothin. tsk tsk.
I don't know what they were doing before, but they are both playing slime rancher 2 right now
Game: "Guess what? Its time for something totally amazeballs"
Drae: "Who even says that it sounds ridiculous"
Me: "Flashback to some point in the past when Drae said that"
being a general contractor i get called for some of the most simple things but usually it’s elderly people who call for light bulbs
Id do that for free lol
@@tagiajohnson3548 same
@@tagiajohnson3548 time is money. Fuel isn't free. It would be one thing to charge them a lot... but you have to pay for your time
@@tagiajohnson3548 i do cut them breaks but i do still have to make money most of the times i’ll take the time check the other lights clean up the fixtures im not going to show up charge them a hundred bucks (which is average price in my area for 1 hours of work) to change out one light bulb it usually ends up with “is there anything else of your concern you would like me to check while i am here” and then i end up checking the flush valves on toilets, loose light switch or outlet, a door knob or lock that may have come loose
As a former handyman I can say without a doubt that people do pay to have a light bulb changed. Some need a ladder so it makes sense. I've also changed them in the lamps a few times.
Right to repair group will really like this game
As an electrician I can confidently say I dream about wires every night and my gf hates it because I’ll be half asleep talking to her about wiring something random.
As a journeyman electrician, this video was great to watch!
As professional in the field, this pains me and makes me laugh at the same time :D
Same! But ive had a few apprentices like him and they turned out okay
pls more mon bazou, we need more maple syrup
Oui please. More maple sirop.
I'd love it but until they do more updates he has nothing left to do in his French Canadian simulator
Drae: calls people electrician noobs because they don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
Also Drae: *electrocutes himself because he turned the main power back on*
I did call a guy to change my light bulb, multiple times.
The thing is, I used to do electrician side jobs back in high school from appliance repairs to house installations but then I chose electronics and automation so I'm quite capable of doing stuff myself. BUT, the building where I'm renting the apartment has some quite high bills for a company that does elevator services and other electricity related thing and they have to do some things in my apartment too. Naturally, anything that's their job on the contract is why I'm calling them and just out of spite I'm buying the shittiest light bulbs for my bathroom and calling them 1-2 times a month to send a crew to replace them(for two years now).
Sounds so petty. I love it!
you are a genius
Are you going back to everyone’s favourite poutine eating, pot growing, maple syrup making, lumber jack Canadian in Mon Bazou. 😊 😂😂
one does not simply dream of wires Drae, they dream of Electric Sheep
What about electric mice? Surprised Pikachu face.
So they dream of Mareep?
I'm quite sure that's only if you're an android, my friend
Do they go: baazaap. Instead of baa
It's a switch... if you wire it backwards it will just be that down is on and up is off. Technically not wrong but annoying to anyone who has to use it.
I don’t know about all of you but Drae is the sharpest bulb in my home.
My grandmother once called 911 because she couldn't reach the smoke detector to change the battery...I know it's not calling an electrician to change a light bulb but I feel like it's kinda the same principal lol
Drae, you had me at "Simulator"
As an electrician I aprove, I also don't know what I'm doing.
Totally would hire you to do electrical work and maybe you won't shock yourself to the hospital lol
@@chady51 Yeah that was a joke, not a formal job application
Yeah larger company's and industrial factories/mills will hire electricians to change light bulbs. I've had to do it a few times
when calling people "dim", I use the phrase "they're not the sharpest spoon in the toolbox".... why is there a spoon in a toolbox, and why is it sharp? - exactly!
I like to mix my metaphors. I say 'one light brick shy of full loaf'. Usually leaves them more confused.
Next up on Drae: I know nothing about real life, so I decided to go outside
1:42 Before passing away, my grandmother would pay people to change her lightbulbs in her home.
When I was a teen, I told her to just call the house(before cellphones) and ask me to bike over for ANYTHING she needed help with. But she would *STILL* pay strangers to do things like open the attic window.
she probably wanted those strangers to inspect her _plumbing_ .. having a family member do that would be kind of weird
i want to see more of this game for sure
12:48 "I like the sound of dings, dings are exciting."
My locksmith shop is rented, legally I have to tell the owner and they have to call an electrician to come change light bulbs lol
270 of asking Drae if he has played Outer Wilds and to play it if he hasn’t.
As far as red vs green is concerned: green = safe, red is for dead. It actually makes sense for something like electrical circuits to be "red" when on, because that's when they're dangerous to repair.
You have to See it that way: Red is also a warning color and Green means youre good to go. Just like traffic Lights and stop signs
Hey drea pls play mon bazou again
Also I'm an electrician
Me taking a moment to appreciate the old school ford pickup.
Drae's dopamine triggers in his brain are easy to trigger with dings, bells, or confirmation sounds.
Drae, my man, stay away from casinos, the games target people like you.
You only have to watch his Arcade gameplay to see how bad it would be for him to be in a casino
i'm offended.. me dreams of wires every damn today!!😅
I work in property maintenance for this apartment complex and I have had a tenant call me to come and take a look at why his light in the bathroom kept flickering then stopped working. So I went over and replaces his light bulb and told him how light bulbs work and how you have to replace them. He was in college...
1:44 not me, but you have no idea how many old ladies do
Makes sense, given their age they probably can't use a ladder to change the light bulb or don't trust themselves doing it.
@@riccardopetrina4212 Agreed
As an electrician, you probably actually shouldn't be assuming so much :D
you say it 11x or more lol
for fun...
actually 20x
hope(fully) 7x
probably 15x
To be honest that sounds great to pay a electrician probley $150 to change a lightbulb 😂
My buddy gets paid $20k per bulb he installs lol
Legally in QLD Australia, you are not allowed to change your own lightbulbs and need an electrician… but I’ve never seen someone charged for it 😂
Why? That seems very stupid...
@@jacthing1 no idea, it’s a thing… weird legislation from government I guess
@@darkwolfhunter6593 another comment said it was from the victorian era. Which if it's true would make more sense...I wouldn't want to try and change a lightbulb and cause a gas explosion
electroboom the game
WTF I thought this was a Drae video...how'd I end up on ElectroBOOM?!
I’m doing a college course on electrical installation, so this interests me greatly
Don't learn from this that's not how things work
I am an electrician. I've been called to change light bulbs. And on few occasions I've been called to hit the reset button on a gfci receptacle
Two people who rage when their tool is called a "gun". Tattooers (Tattoo MACHINE), Electrical Engineers (Soldering IRON). Today you learned.
*WATT* are you doing ?!
That's quite *SHOCKING* !
I'm glad that I'm not in your *CURRENT* situation !
I can't wait to go *OHM* ...
Mmmmmmh strange that Drae make a video of the exact same game that a french UA-camr made yesterday and it's not the first time mmmmmh sus.
Jk, it's a great video good job man.
(But it's still freaking me out when i watch a video of a French UA-camr and the next day an English UA-camr upload a video of the same game)
To your question on paying for to have a lightbulb to be changed; I work for the UK govt and we would actually get disciplined if we changed a lightbulb ourselves. It's got to be done by Facilities Management, which are outsourced and paid an insane amount of money.
Get calls my lights don't work did you replace the light bulb? "Yes" are you sure that bulb works? "I'm not stupid when can you get here!" On my way long story short never trust a customer replace the bulb first I took apart everything switches light fixture
I've been hired to change light bulbs. Some people seem to think its a good idea to have 3 story vaulted ceilings with recessed lights in them. That puts the lights at about 40 feet off the ground. After setting up the scaffold and replacing the light bulb, the customer was happy to pay me the $500 to change 2 light bulbs.
First task "turn off main fuse". Drea.. "switches fuses off then back on for first job" ("yup their working") 2:22 .... 3:00 .. proceeds to electrocute himself
apperently in Australia its illegal to change your own lightbulb
Technically I've hired an electrician for a lightbulb... we're not allowed to change them ourselves at work, which means property services brings in a contractor...
So i did not Call an Electrician to change a Lightbulb. But as an Electrician myself i was actually calles to change a few Lightbubls around the House. The Caller where a lovely elderly Couple who werent confident enough to climp on a ladder. So yeah... sometimes you even need to do that.
for viewers, drae, and developer of the game. the sensor in the bathroom is incorrectly named. its actually carbon DIoxide. mono means 1 di means two. for example H20 is dihydrogen monoxide. for any that were confused from this no need to thank me #schoolflashbacks
I've never hired an electrician but I've called maintenance at my apartment for it before. Currently my apartment has fixtures in ceiling with LED though so it's not something I want to purchase myself
Work in property management.. you'll be the surprised that the amount of residents ask to change bulbs... the first 2/3 times I had it asked I took it as a joke.. I even have screenshots of some of the requests 😭😭
I am an electrician, I had a job in January for a rich man that I needed to setup his ps5 and VR headset plus install his LED light (stick them to the wall). It took 2 hours and he paid me for 11 hours
I own a handyman company and my most common projects are appliance installs, switch replacement, light fixture replacements and yes changing light bulbs.
I am an electrician, well apprentice, and I am honestly surprised the amount light bulbs I have had to change out. Usually it's because they are too high or the customer doesn't realize the issue is the light bulb, but we have had a few occasions where they just want us to replace the light bulbs. Waste of gas smh.
1:40. well i havent hired anybody myself, but i am an electrician (or at leat an apprentice) and you would be suprised how mant times peoble calles just to get there light bulb changed, (especially if you think of all other things peoble does themselv where they probably should have hired one)
I did service work, and once a month i would go to a few retail shops and change light bulbs. they had everything to do the job including a ladder. Now i work in property maintenance, and we get calls all the time for tenants lights not working and we change the bulbs. Not supposed to as they are just regular bulbs, but its just eaier, plus i get paid to do it.
Technically I'm breaking the law when i change a light bulb or install a lamp in my apartment.
Only an certified electrician is allowed to do so.
But nobody really gives a shit.
I assume some LED built-in light fixtures may require a more involved process to replace. Might call an electrician for that?
Electrician here! I climbed a 150ft water tower and replaced a lightbulb , then took down an old antenna...also I hate heights...
i alwasy wait to watch your vid everyday untill im about to go to work becuse your my favorite youtuber
i always do such things without turning the fuse off. changing bulbs, switches, lamps. the important thing is, just dont touch or connect any blank cables.
The hardest thing about electricity for me is knowing how to trouble shoot a circuit.
You poke it with a multimeter until you no longer have a connection.. then you find it
Is this game made by the same people who made Phasmophobia? The garage looks similar..
Had a customer call to change a few lightbulbs after her husband put the bulbs in and they didn't work. Dude put them in so tight the bases snapped off the bulbs trying to remove them.
FYI my buddy gets paid $20k just to change a single lightbulb. And he does like 6 of them a year.
Legit went on 5 side jobs with my dad and ended with diagnosing the problem with multiple dead light bulbs legit fixed the problem just by changing the bulbs in the problem areas .
The danger with this game is people wil think after playing this (I can do this irl) and that's a hard no don't learn from games they are GAMES
I am an electrician.... am yes we get called to change light bulbs.
Usually because they are in a hard to get area or it's an elderly person that just assumes the fixture is broken, they dont want to stand on a stool, or they are looney.
The issue isn’t that they call for a lightbulb to be replaced, but that when one goes out it’s immediately an electrical failure of biblical proportions and in dire need of an electrician 8pm on a Sunday
Some people got hire to change light bulb ... its legit job
You can look into it its youtube vid called change light bulb at 20k ft tower
On why you replace parts in a controller and pay a technician 90$ instead of buying a new one: To not create unnessecary waste.......
5:06
what you probably meant was ''i'm not the brightest bulb in this room''
As an electrician I could only make it through like 5 minutes of this …. I love you drae and all of your content but this one I’ll pass
I wonder if the guy who made this is a certified electrician🤔
You went in with $263 before the repair of the sensor, you lost money and landed on $144. Yeah, that was not worth it.
a good electrian doesnt have to turn the power off. A smart one does it anyways.
red means "don't touch that" not "live wire ^^ ", it's for electrician purposes ;) nice one though
yk if you have you electrician working at your house and you hear him say “what the hell does this do”, you’re fucked😂
Jesus Christ - I think you have to be Canadian to like a game like this. Or Swiss maybe...
I don't know why but Drae has a calming voice. Makes every video relaxing
House flipper has electrical game built in plus you can renovate the house too… imo this game 🗑️ in comparison
I work for an electrical company and I get a bunch of service calls to change light bulbs/lamps all the time
Surprisingly enough people do call for liggbulb changes all the time. And not just ones that are hard to reach.
What happened to "green is ground, the world around"? Ground was yellow in the game...lol
Important tip, never clean up after yourself
I lived in a historic apartment building and we had to all an electrician to do things like change light bulbs and blinds.
It was dumb.
Drae, people with 30 people ceilings and chandeliers do not change their own light bulbs.
