    Had a same issue just yesterday. Had 4 outlet boxes not working in our kitchen. Turned out to be a very loose wire on the GCFI outlet. Used my receptacle tester and breaker finder - turned off the correct breaker, found the loose wire and popped it back in. Back in business with a happy wife :)

I plan one short project a day and then off to have fun. Here’s a few from my last visit: trouble shoot electric and replace GFCIs, clean moss from pool deck, replace numerous light bulbs, replace toilet inlet valve and flapper, replace faucet aerators, repair grout in guest shower, sand and paint garage door, repair window screens, clean gutters, remove brush, rewire lamp, cut samplings down, repair faucet, rehang bath towel bar, adjust latch on rear doors, remove wasp nests. I’m sure there are more, but I can’t think of them now 😉

    A big pet peeve of mine is how most electricians do a very inadequate job of labeling breaker panels, or more likely, they don't label them at all. This sure creates problems later. I had a major electrical overhaul with new switches, outlets, and breaker panel. The electrician also installed GFCI's here and there throughout the house, and did not label anything or keep track of which rooms and outlets down the line are affected if the GFCI trips. Some of these are extremely inaccessible. So now, all the lighting does not work in a large office room, presumably because a GFCI somewhere tripped. It is hard to explain why this is so difficult to track down, so now there is no overhead lighting which is really needed. The electrician had installed all the GFCI's because the very old house wiring has no ground wire. Anyway, it is especially annoying when you pay thousands to a licensed electrician, only to spend years and decades later reminded of all the inadequacies and corner cutting that he did, including no labeling of breakers. Strangely, there is still a kitchen outlet that is not controlled by ANY of the breakers in the panel!!!

    • @M3thodbombz
      @M3thodbombz 7 місяців тому +6

      I’ll tell you the reason why. It’s because it’s residential lol. I’m a commercial electrician and this was hounded on me during my entire apprenticeship was panel scheduling. All of the new housing tracks being built across the United States are done by residential piecework electricians. They get paid by the piece which means they get paid for every house they do so if they rope in a house in a day they get paid for that house. They’re trying to get it done as fast as possible, while still adhering to code. So in essence, the home will pass inspection, But they create headaches for other electricians later down the line.

      I replace an old panel with a new, larger one. Did everything myself and labeled it accordingly. Had it inspected and all good. I’m not an electrician, but pay attention to the details required to do the job correctly. Most electrician you hire will do an outstanding job, but maybe not the original ones installing the job in the first place due to time restraints.

    20 Amp Breaker on 15 Amp Receptacle’s 🔥

    • @lightblade543
      @lightblade543 3 місяці тому +3

      You worded that wrong. Its 15amp receptacles on a 20amp breaker, which there is nothing wrong with and is completely safe and code compliant as long as there more than one receptacle on the branch circuit which there clearly is in the video. (A single duplex outlet with 2 receptacles counts as 2 btw). The breaker provides over current protection for the branch circuit wiring, its not specifically designed to protect any specific receptacle, switch or load even thought by proxy it can since if you overload the circuit wiring and the breaker trips in turn now your receptacle and device will no longer have power. This is a common misconception on the actual purpose of a ocp breaker. Additionally 15amp receptacles are all required to be rated to 20amp pass through, that way you can install multiple 15amp receptacles in series and then the last one could be a 20amp receptacle and fully support that load. Your receptacles and switches themselves are protected firstly by a ground bonding so in the event of a short the current is is removed from the load to ground. If you want to protect the components of the receptacle itself then the device you plug in needs protection, this is often achieved by overcurrent protection circuitry in the electrical device or simply a fuse in the device power cord or input power supply.

      I've had instances where the wiring simply wasn't hooked up past a random outlet or switch. One time I found that the ground wires weren't tied together - no reason, they just left them hanging and didn't even attempt to put a wire nut on them.
      Bonus: all the outlets were upside down in that portion of house.

    An external breaker panel? I've always seen them tucked away in the garage, basement, or a closet so they aren't exposed to the weather.
    Anyway, judging by the apparent age of the breakers, replacing ALL of them would be a good idea. Once one is dead the rest of them are likely on their last legs as well and it really wouldn't cost that much in the greater scheme of things.

    When you say that you have the power off when you were installing the new breaker. What did you mean by that? The main power to the whole breaker box?

      I was going to ask him that as well was it main breaker box or the breaker itself?

      @rkendall94 Рік тому +3

      Yes that is what he meant. The main breaker at the very top of the box in this case. It looks like he opted to do it without turning it off but advised others to do as I say not as I do :)

    I noticed you put a 20 amp breaker in the box and I believe your outlets were 15 amp. Is that a problem?

      It is but I would check out 210.21 in the NEC for more info, assuming your wiring in the US

      I don't know. I would think the garage outlets would be on the same circuit/breaker

    My stupid kitchen in an old trailer has 2 plugs on the same circuit, so once and awhile if 2 things are on it goes off... But u can go and flick tht breaker on and off till the cows come home and nothing.! BuT, the plug will sometimes start working again just out of the blue, could be a day, could be a month.? Odd... So i figured the breaker was bad and bought a new 1..., but it would not work either, so i tried it on the next fin over & Vola it Worked... -3 wk's later i had 2 things on again and Poof, out both plugs go again... Go bk in and look at breaker & it's sTill on.? Moved it over to tried another fin again and nothing... Ive also changed that recepticle b4 also, thinkin it was tht...... Strange to me... ive got 1 dam plug that works now in the kitchen area, but thats by the door tho...

      Wouldn’t that be from the bad breaker I replaced? What’s the life span of bus bars?
