Though there is a small sacrifice in electrical capacity and output, the large majority of consumers could live close to full day on a conservative electrical diet in the case of an emergency AND have a power source that could travel with them if they needed power in a remote scenario: Tailgating, camping, roadtripping, etc. In this video, we’ll install a “gen panel” for a Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus to backup 6 critical loads with 1 cord and the flip of a switch. Oh, and did we mention it can also serve as an inverter to power those loads with solar too? Check it out!

A number of companies are beating down the door of home battery systems and we feel Anker has earned a seat at the table with the Anker SOLIX F3800, a system teetering on the edge between portable and permanent energy storage. The F3800 is one of the first portable devices to offer 240V power for appliances like ranges, clothes dryers, and EV chargers without an extra parallel battery or magical voltage-combining cable. When connected through a standard generator inlet panel, the F3800 can power 2 240V appliances and 6 120V appliances anywhere in the house…and then just unplug the generator cable and you can still take it for a long weekend camping trip! Whether you’re a homeowner looking for a lower cost backup solution or a professional electrician trying to offer your customers a “middle-option” between gas generators and giant battery infrastructures, we think the Anker SOLIX F3800 bridges the gap perfectly.

Given that frequency, the cursory research one performs to get the job done usually works, but not without a good deal of lasting confusion. That’s why we were really excited when SmoothStarter reached out to us! For one, it turns out that “soft starters” and “hard starters” are not the same thing (probably should have been obvious from the names but…). Secondly, they’ve got brilliant application for retrofitted battery systems, as it pertains to load calculation and sizing. And lastly, they’ve got great quality of life and equipment maintenance utility. If you’re a homeowner with flickering lights, home battery considerations, or problematic AC equipment, we’ve got to tell you about SmoothStarters. If you’re an electrician in home battery backup or service, SmoothStarter is a versatile add-on to your service offering. Check it out.

A microgrid is an electrical system which is responsible for its own electrical generation, storage, and distribution. Unfortunately, because all of these systems are independent, they all require manual transfer of devices and circuits in the event of emergency. EcoFlow seems to be the first company to integrate their products with the grid, and they’ve done it really well! EcoFlow’s first Smart Home Panel was a proprietary juggernaut of relays, unique ports, and extra wiring connections, but the Smart Home Panel 2 is a thing of simplified beauty. With 4 available power inputs (utility, battery, solar, & generator) and well-thought power transfer features, this is the most comfortable we’ve ever been with DIYers mixing battery storage and solar into their home’s breaker box.

Over the next few weeks (maybe months?!) we’ll be sprinkling in various installation & review videos to hopefully educate consumers regarding the 3rd party market. Check out our EV Charging playlist to see if any of the brands show up on your wish list. AutoBot peaked our interest for a few reasons: 1) The brand name is not a string of random capitalized letters on Amazon, 2) Customer support is well-reviewed, 3) the unit advertised over-the-air updates, 4) low price @ $300, 5) a non-app version is available, and 6) the unit advertises a full 48-amp charging rate. For those looking for a cheap, simple, reliable charging option without your phone, we think this could be a great option for you. Installation was straightforward and the components seem to be quality. We'll keep you posted if anything goes awry!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: It can be really easy, as a business owner, to focus on making your own life easier. In fact, one could argue that making work more simple and efficient is exactly what business owners are _supposed_ to do! We see 3 issues with this, however. For starters, life ain’t simple. Especially for a small business owner without a reputation, the fun, streamlined, & well-organized jobs are going to be hard to find, and to set one’s expectations on finding them can prove immensely frustrating…not to mention, unprofitable. Secondly, the intangible benefit of supporting your local neighborhood should never be overlooked. What may not show up in the ledger is undeniably good for the soul, company reputation, local economy, and knowledge base. Finally, there’s no growth without difficulty. Whether for yourself or your team members, challenging tasks and/or customers provide the opportunity to stretch our people- and technical-skills. Which brings us to the northeast region of Indianapolis! We know nothing about this customer or job, and while it’s not a commercial gold-mine of cash, personal referral from friends of Jefferson, or promising lead for future business, we thought we’d bring EPro along to show how we go into a blind estimate.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: We’ve joined the billboard game and we’re here to stay! New billboards require simple terminations at the top and bottom of the pole and only ~50 amps of juice, which is often already installed on the utility side for lights or old systems. While the billboard company sent their own team to physically mount the digital face, we were able to take lunch, get some administrative tasks done, and learn more about their team and side of the trade.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: We’ve been hoping to get our hands on one of these juggernauts, and a faithful EPro viewer invited us to install his on the northside of Indianapolis! The Ford F-150 Lightning has a couple unique features in the EV game, including whole-home backup, massive mobile power capabilities, AND 80-amp charging, which is why we were called in for this project. The humongous amp-draw of the Lightning’s charger require some specific wire and installation considerations, and some of the aforementioned features call for pre-planning to maximize its potential. If you are a new Lightning owner looking to personally install or oversee someone else’s installation, we hope this video is informative and uplifting!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: The 10’ Tap Rule in the National Electrical Code allows for 10’ of wire to run from main power to a piece of equipment WITHOUT a breaker or other overcurrent protective device. While this might sound cavalier, the rule can be advantageous for installing new equipment WITH a breaker when the main panel no longer exists or has listed overcurrent protection. In the case of this church, the main disconnect (from 1965) was not properly equipped to handle any of the new loads that a remodel required. Therefore, we utilized the 10’ Tap Rule to get power to a modern disconnect with modern breaker access.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Sometimes people ask us: “What’s the most dangerous part of being an electrician?” so we thought we’d trace the path of electricity all the way back to the pole and lay out where electricity is the least tame, and where we are sometimes asked to come in contact with it. Though electrical breakers are rated for specific amperage values, short circuits will put the circuit under MUCH higher stress before the breaker opens and disconnects the power source. To demonstrate this effect on the circuit components, we connected a 60-amp breaker to 6# and 18# wire in a controlled part of our warehouse. The resulting fireworks (literally) are a colorful reminder to 1) always wear PPE, 2) make proper connections, 3) test your work, & 4) know the code. We do not condone similar testing from unprotected, inexperienced individuals. If this video is not quite what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance.

Synopsis: As Jefferson Electric has grown, we’ve been blessed with a new space and that has introduced us to several wonderful people interested in our old space. Brandon Burdine of Goldie (https://www.goldieprovisions.com/shop) has brought new life to our old warehouse and, in the process, had some elevated electrical needs. Brandon is a hair-stylist-turned-product-producer so the “basic warehouse” package of electrical outlets in the space were not nearly sufficient for his needs. In this video, we’ll make sure to get him enough power in a clean, commercial production space for, hopefully, great future hair-care success. Skills of particular note in this commercial space include making conduit runs and bends, properly grounding metallic boxes and cable, & training a new apprentice. If the instruction in this video is unclear or not quite what you're searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance. EPRO-2-Call: You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/ Products We’d Recommend: *EPRO endorses pro-level tools & materials, and receives a small commission for purchases through our links from Amazon & other affiliate programs.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: While Jefferson Electric loves the puzzles and differences associated with residential electrical jobs, commercial jobs are often the best bang for your -buck- labor, especially when you can develop long-term relationships with organizations like Providence Homes, which refurbishes old spaces in Indianapolis. In this video, we’ll go on a pre-buy inspection walkthrough of an abandoned warehouse space and show what conditions are gold mines and which ones are deal-breakers. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices. We hope this video can be particularly helpful for young/small business owners figuring out how to maximize their time and effort.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: We were hoping to show a whole-home buildout of Leviton’s smart products in this video, but the house was not ready for us. As a viewer, we’re sure you’re bummed by that. As a contractor, we are too, but we thought there might be something to be gleaned regarding resilience. Anyone who’s been around the trades for…well, probably about a week knows that delays are part of life. In this video we thought we could commiserate & lay out how we make the most of the opportunity at Jefferson Electric, and adjust on the fly to maximize everyone’s time. The biggest keys to this are, perhaps obviously, scheduling & communication: Having enough jobs in the hopper and on a given day to keep everyone busy, and knowing which crews are TOO busy and could use backup at a moment’s notice. Here’s the tools and conversations we have to help us do that well… In this particular case, Joel encounters 2 unique obstacles: Clearing excessive drywall mud from an electrical box and identifying & manipulating an adjustable in-wall electrical box. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: When we run into landscaping issues we give Porf the biggest shovel we can find and wish him luck. In this case, he didn’t need much luck, because we gave him a VERY BIG shovel. Though this project got turned into 2 videos, it was not too heavy a task to complete in 1 day: We were able to trench most of our conduit path & terminate wire at the house while the excavator was being delivered, and with further landscaping work to be done by another subcontractor at a later date, clean-up was simplified for us! Here’s how we got this underground service all squared away… Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Full team effort on this one today. We were hoping that this video would represent a standard underground service installation and… the jury’s still out on what “standard” is! If you’re looking for a “simple” underground service installation; unfortunately, this one’s NOT IT. This is one of the biggest excavation projects we’ve ever done, but that doesn’t mean that it was completely foreign to us either. Though the amount of concrete in this yard was huge, the problem-solving process is pretty much the same as it would be in smaller situations. Honestly, obstacles are always to be expected in the prep for underground projects. A contractor’s best friends are 1) plenty of time and 2) the right backup contacts in the ole’ work phone. With those things within reach, here’s how to positively handle a potential underground project derailment.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: We’ll be saying a sweet farewell to Tom after this one! When we originally asked Tom the question, “What are the 5 main considerations of someone buying a generator?” he had more thoughts than we could reasonably fit in the video. So… we made it its own video! This is an electrical engineer’s thought process to backup power in 2023.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Well, the honeymoon was short. Upon getting Tom’s generator to start up, we ran into a little problem; namely, it looked like the electrical frequency was going to launch that beautiful white box to the moon! After some research, it appears that our work was not the issue, but rather the tool: This video is a PSA about Klein’s clamp meter. If you’re a confused Generac installer or a loyal Klein-user, we hope this video is helpful to you. Many thanks to Tom for his research and participation in this video!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Another full day, but good to have all the wiring completed for the generator’s arrival! The generator disconnect, auxiliary circuits in the garage, and basement sub-panel went in without a hitch, but we weren’t so lucky everywhere else… So where were the hitches that had us working late into the evening? Firstly, our home runs to all of the house circuits were stripped _just barely_ outside of the new panel location, which required heat shrinking for each wire. This required a materials run and some tedious wire-by-wire TLC. Secondly, the electric range had a bad termination in the receptacle box which tripped the breaker as we were cycling up. Thankfully, given it is on a dedicated circuit, troubleshooting was fairly quick and painless. This project with Tom has been a blast, and reminds us of the value of having a company culture that attracts customers like him!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Check Out SPAN Here: https://epro.tiny.us/SPAN Synopsis: Tom’s Generac automatic transfer switch (and all transfer switches, for that matter) needs to be the 1st means of disconnect in order to differentiate between utility and generator power, which means today we need to call in a utility disconnect! Once power is dead, the obvious course of action is to get things wired up. This is where an electrical contractor needs to kick it into overdrive, because the customer deserves the general courtesy of having power restored the same day. Whether this takes more hands and fewer margins or paying your best guy more to get it done, this is a point of professionalism that Jefferson Electric stands on.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Check Out SPAN Here: https://epro.tiny.us/SPAN Synopsis: With most of our main equipment in place, we were ready for a big ole’ wire pull. Unfortunately for Tom, his electrical and natural gas services were on opposite ends of the house, meaning his generator placement involved a catch-22: Locate the generator on the south side, and run lots of big wire from panel-to-generator, or locate the generator on the north side, and run pressurized gas under his home. He chose to locate the generator near the gas source and pull wire all the way from the panel, through the basement, to the generator, so battlelines were drawn and the tug-o-war was on! We also got a basement sub-panel installed and mapped out our surge protection plan for when the re-wire goes full-speed tomorrow. Everything’s mounted & staged and we’re ready for the utility tomorrow!

They can both bring the house down! It’s not often that doubling the available current in a system makes it safer, but that is definitely the case in this video. This 50-year-old service and interior Pushmatic panel have earned an honorable retirement, servicing a family of 7 for nearly 2 decades (as long as they didn’t run the coffeemaker and microwave at the same time). The new hot tub was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and we’re here to welcome this home to the 200-amp club. While we would not recommend this task for DIYers, given the utility connections, this is a fantastic job for electrical contractors looking for 1 clear, valuable, full-day job.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Given the hot real estate market in Indianapolis, Jefferson Electric is often called on by house flippers. While it may seem that real estate investors are always trying to turn the fastest profit, with minimal regard for quality, this is not true.

This relieves many of the stresses that come with hurriedness and unreasonable expectations.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: This customer had 2 Tesla Powerwall’s on the way and wanted optimum control of his home’s power. There’s really only one solution for such a request: SPAN Smart Panel. This is our 2nd SPAN panel install, and while it was much smoother than the first, that doesn’t mean that it is anywhere close to be as easy as a “dumb” panel installation. We welcome your feedback as we continue to develop this new skill to develop new money streams at Jefferson Electric. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by our masters, journeymen, & apprentices. If the instruction in this video is unclear or skew to what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance. EPRO-2-Call: You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/ Products We’d Recommend: *EPRO endorses pro-level tools & materials, and receives a small commission for purchases through our links from Amazon & other affiliate programs.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. How Many Lights Do I Need? https://lamphq.com/recessed-lighting-calculator/ Where Do I Place Each Light? https://blog.recessedlighting.com/recessed-lighting-calculator/ Synopsis: Real skills are making our EPRO project manager and electrical apprentice Tim real money! Tim actually has his undergraduate degree in education and was a middle school science teacher for 4 years before joining the EPRO team about 1 year ago. Though he jumped in with minimal construction experience (besides the LEGO skills of his youth), having watched every video with the growth of the channel, he’s picked up a thing or two, and now occasionally assists Jefferson Electric on residential sites when they need an extra hand. He’s filming today from his own home as he tackles a very common electrical upgrade: Recessed lighting for a basement remodel.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Check Out SPAN Here: https://epro.tiny.us/SPAN Synopsis: This farm has a BEAUTIFUL, south-facing, 68-module solar array on the barn, but undersized conductors in their electrical infrastructure. In preparing for their incoming Tesla Powerwalls, we went out to pull some new feeder conductors so that they were getting maximum solar production. Between all this renewable energy, abundant agriculture, beautiful landscaping, and no shortage of chickens, we might find ourselves back at their door if a zombie apocalypse ever breaks out! With so much electrical equipment in so many structures, Joel and Cliff worked mostly at separate ends of the property: Cliff on the solar inverter side and Joel on the house panel side. Here’s how some HDPE, 2100’ of THHN, and several big enclosures got this farm back to energy independence… If the instruction in this video is unclear or skew to what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Product Name: Autel MaxiCharger AC Home 50A EV Charger With Separate Holster https://amzn.to/3AIDWC5 Synopsis: As we’ve mentioned previously on the channel, Jefferson Electric estimators all drive Tesla Model 3s because it 1) represents the company well to customers, 2) reflects Jefferson's commitments to renewable energy, 3) cuts transportation costs, & 4) improves work satisfaction. Given this investment, and the easy access to electricians, JEHQ has several EV chargers installed, but JWHQ (Joel’s House…) does not. This has led to a few dicey weeks when Joel has needed to work remotely a few times in the past and could only charge at 120V. Enter Autel’s 50A Maxicharger Home. Autel was kind enough to send us a free 240V charger for our public review, and so we’re passing our thoughts onto y’all. While our experience with it is mostly confined to installation at this point, we will be sure to update you of any adverse observations. Our 1-sentence review thus far: Definitely worth your time and money!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Check Out SPAN Here: https://epro.tiny.us/SPAN Synopsis: Joel doesn’t buy suits and ties, gizmos and gadgets, or toys and trinkets; he just wants power. Electrical power, that is. With 8 kids approaching (electric) driving age, big cooking and cleaning appliances, a pool out back, and a carriage house over the garage, there is a big need for big power. While 1,000 amps should reliably get the job done for many years to come, there is a smarter (and cheaper) solution. Generally home electrical services are calculated according to the maximum draw, but if the panel could keep track of which loads were on and off, less power would be required. SPAN is our current preferred smart electrical panel for this very reason. Follow our channel for more installations and demonstrations of how SPAN can make your house genius.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: This is one mighty “Part 1” for what will be a beautiful kitchen remodel. The tricky thing about electrical work is that you often can’t do it all at once; in this case, we need to dial in appliance receptacles, counter-servicing receptacles, overhead lighting, under-cabinet lighting, auxiliary pendant lighting, and some mysterious old circuitry without the appliances, counters, cabinets, or pendants in sight! Here’s how Jefferson Electric “roughs-in” a kitchen-to-be to avoid future headaches for themselves or other tradesmen, all while identifying existing wiring and solving panel circuit limitations.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Part 3 Out with the old, in with the new! The SPAN panel is taller and (significantly) heavier than a normal panel, and has a thorough software commissioning stage of installation that is (obviously) not standard for other panels, so this made things a challenge. Thankfully, SPAN has excellent training and customer service to tap into, which allowed us to get this project wrapped up (mostly).

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: GFCI Protection emerged in the NEC in 1971 and has steadily increased in prevalence every update since. Did you know that a GFCI receptacle can be used where a ground is not present? Though this is not technically “grounding” the receptacle, it is adding a different & significant degree of safety while also improving convenience of accessibility for 3-pronged appliances in the home. In fact, this is the only time when a 2-prong receptacle is allowed to be replaced with a 3-prong. Joel needs to perform this update on his own home, so he figured he’d bring y’all along. Enjoy!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Your house probably has a 100- or 200-amp service. This one has 600 amps…and it’s just the pool house! Our work on this particular day was a culmination of many months of energy and neighborhood bureaucracy. Who knew electrical work could be so dramatic!? With most (but not all) of the drama behind us, our job today was simply to install 3 200-amp, fused disconnects to the back of the structure. Enjoy!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: The new EPRO HQ is definitely in a safer part of town, but we’re not just going to rest on our laurels just yet! In our hour of need, ONWOTE (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZCLZT8D?maas=maas_adg_CF16A2253137FD52116004FBCB5EE02C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas) gave us a security camera system so that we could monitor the warehouse and the parking lot when we’re out. This also offered us an excellent opportunity to share the process for PoE, or Power Over Ethernet, systems. Given the fact that a video camera system already needs to share information (and a lot of it, at that!) an ethernet wire run is the best option UNLESS we would need to run more wire for power. Thanks to PoE, our Network Video Recorder (NVR) can send power out to the cameras and they can send data back with just one wire run. While our install will have some commercial add-ons, starting with thousands more feet of Cat5 cable, this should show you what you need to see if you’d like a robust security system at your home.

Clean space, minimal hiccups, maximum productivity, maximum value, and a sustainable future. If you’ve got an electric vehicle, this is the most straightforward dedicated electrical service & NEMA 14-50 install (from utility pole to charging port) video you’ll find on YouTube. This is a well-kempt single-family dwelling with a detached garage near downtown Indianapolis, making an overhead service a simple setup in the alley and the panel and NEMA 14-50 installation (& some extras) a breeze in the garage. If you’re tired of inefficient charging, we hope this video reveals the massive value in 240V power.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: By installing a separate metering system for your home’s EV charging in Indianapolis, the utility (AES) will offer 2.3¢ per kWh off-peak rates. This is one of the main reasons why Jefferson Electric opted to convert part of their fleet to Tesla Model 3’s this year. Follow along as we independently meter one of our project manager’s outdoor home charging station. Without a structure to mount the meter to, we’ll be grounding a strut base next to Sean’s shed, and then running our direct-burial EV charging cable underground to the shed… …Hold on, did we just say “direct-burial EV charging cable”?! You bet! Special thanks to TCER Direct (https://www.tcerdirect.com/electric-vehicle-wire) for their #6, 600V, 75C, TWHN, sunlight-resistant, direct-burial, joist-pull Power & Control Tray Cable. We’d recommend you give it a look if your business is taking on more EV installation jobs. As usual, we’ll also include some recommendations and points of professionalism employed at Jefferson Electric to maximize our time & profits, and value to our customers.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: The dreaded broken light bulb! Whether the kids were throwing the football in the house, a 7’ tall friend clocked it standing up at dinner, or an earthquake hit, it seems like everyone’s gotta deal with this at least once in their life. With broken glass and exposed electrical contacts, it can seem to be a pretty intimidating job, but with the power off (or totally unplugged) and a pair of needle-nose pliers, you can save yourself $100+ by tackling this simple repair yourself. We’ll even throw in a little advice if your sockets are causing you problems!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: It seems to us here at EPRO that the large majority of things with broken parts get replaced in entirety. Why is that?! In our experience, a replacement takes more time than a repair, costs more money, and may not match the aesthetic around it. Cue this video! If you’ve ever had a fixture that you’d like to keep, but some of the electrical components are damaged, it is often easier than you may think to find parts and set them good-as-new. In this instance, the socket in a 1938 crystal light fixture was broken, and given similar fixtures throughout the house, replacing the socket rather than the whole light was definitely the way to go. We’ll break it down step-by-step, share our tools and parts, and help you, whether you’re a homeowner or an electrician, consider the cost of such an operation.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: For those following along with the development of Jefferson Electric’s new Off-Grid warehouse, we’ve previously wired receptacles and 8’ tube LEDs into the shop such that all that was left to do was pull our main feed. We handed the reins to the apprentices and are now back to verify their quality work. We hope this video answers 2 questions: 1. How much power would I, an average DIY viewer, need in a secondary structure shop/shed? 2. What are the safety and quality considerations that a master electrician knows to look for in such a project? If either of those questions are on your mind, hop on in!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: If only life were this simple! While it is not an exaggeration to say that easy electrical jobs can pay very well, there are seasons when complicated installations and service requests rule the day in an electrician’s world. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst is the best way to appreciate the blessings of the trades while also not slipping into the red! In this video, Joel will show you the #1 most common code violation and its (normally…) an easy correction. On this particular day, old BX wire is installed in the home instead of modern Romex and the box is a tight-mortared fit. Even still, making a couple hundred bucks in less than 10 minutes ain’t bad!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: For those hoping to see inside the mind of a master electrician as he visualizes and manipulates wire behind finished walls and between floors with x-ray precision, prepare to be… …disappointed. While EPRO exists to make “electrical best practice” readily accessible for the good of the trade and future generations, we have to admit that we’re hoping to make our lives a little easier, too. Join us on the wrong side of the drywall, fidgeting with confused three-way switches and scratching our heads attempting to achieve functionality and safety, as Joel asks himself: “Why is a downstairs living room switch operating an upstairs bedroom?!” If you’re considering some electrical “exceptions” in your own home, please watch and learn what questionable wiring choices can mean for future residents and servicemen. At the same time, here’s a few ideas and diagnostic tools to consider if you’re in our position. …Better yet, get a 15-year professional electrician’s expertise directly via video or voice call to overcome your home project obstacle!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: At EPRO, we have fond childhood memories of grabbing a box of popsicles from the basement freezer on a hot summer day, or bringing the clean laundry basket up those treacherous wooden stairs…. Ok, maybe not the latter, but as adults, we recognize the value of keeping a handful of major appliances down in the basement: Backup fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, sump pump, etc. Today, Joel needs to get power to his home’s water softener. The process, code requirements, and materials will be nearly identical for any of the appliances referenced above, so if you feel handy enough to do it yourself, we think we can walk you through it! Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices. If you’ve got the tools and the willingness but are held up by a couple ominous details, rather than hiring out the whole project, we’d love to give you personalized expertise via video or voice call to overcome your home project obstacle.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: You called, we answered: A hot tub installation is one of the most requested videos from our viewers, so we were excited when church friends gave us the green light to film the process at their home. While we will be showing everything step-by-step, we need to stress that our definitive recommendation is that a professional perform this installation because hot tubs 1) have high power draw, 2) are full of WATER which pairs very harmfully with electricity, 3) require mastery of indoor and outdoor electrical and building codes, & 4) are an expensive investment that we do not want to be held responsible for! If you’ve got the tools and the willingness to attempt this behemoth, but would like some “targeted expertise” without hiring out the whole project, Joel Walsman can be contacted directly via video or voice call through this link: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/. Otherwise, we welcome your thoughts on this latest high-power episode at EPRO! Got a question or ideas for a future video?

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: There are 2 types of hot tubs: The warm, refreshing variety and the more jolting & shocking kind. If you are planning to wire up your own hot tub there are 5 key code references which will inevitably ramp up the cost of the project materials and require some location planning, so keeping them front of mind can alleviate significant stress at the end of the project. While our other hot tub videos (including our own) will provide more step-by-step instructions for the electrical, this one is a quick-hitter for those who already have the mechanical skills and knowledge, but may lack NEC experience.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Retrofitting LED tubes into fluorescent fixtures is often a worthwhile investment (we’ve done it previously on this channel!), but another option are LED panels, which replace the entire fixture in indoor settings. In this video we’ll show you how to swap out the old for the new and save yourself long-term money in energy costs, maintenance, and repairs. We’ll be utilizing the existing MC cable in the ceilings, but you can use non-metallic Romex in a similar fashion.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: While Romex works great for interior residential work, metallic structures often require metallic boxes and cabling. As we outfit the Off-Grid warehouse behind the new HQ we’ll show you how to select and prepare the right materials, run MC cable, ground everything properly, & accomplish all of your power needs. If you’ve got a shop, garage, or other metallic structure that needs a more commercial finish, we hope this video shows you what you need to see from main panel, to sub-panel, to receptacle. For Jefferson Electric’s Off-Grid needs, our circuitry will be overpowered in order to increase mobility, modularity, and power in day-to-day operations. Feel free to scale down to your needs if you are in a smaller and/or DIY space. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: We experimented with our filming style in this one a bit. Not sure we love it… Let us know your honest feedback in the comments! Jefferson Electric knocks out most of its solar installations in one day; but don’t be fooled, it takes a large team of diverse electricians to make it happen. Installing the solar array requires precision measurement to provide a crisp finish and lots of team coordination & muscle to get unruly, window-sized panels to their spots on the roof. Trenching and long, underground wire runs require knowledge of the National Electrical Code and skill in minimally invasive landscaping. Connecting power to the inverters and electrical panel inside the home requires technical training and wisdom dealing with high-voltage DC power from solar. Here’s how we break up those responsibilities at Jefferson and joyfully provide sustainable power for the Indianapolis region. While we don’t endorse this video as instructional or educational, we do hope it informs viewers of the full scope of solar work and the costs and skills required to do it well. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: There are plenty of videos about wiring smart switches in the pristine drywall of a new home, but what if your home is 100 years old and has had 7 previous owners with questionable repair skills, but weren’t shy about giving it a try!? As Joel is preparing his 1938 home for a full house rewire, he’s taking a brief detour in this video to install an Intermatic smart/timer switch. He’ll need to address multiple wall layers, assorted wiring types, some carpentry shortcuts, & a missing ground connection. We can’t promise that your situation is the same, but we might be able to give you some on-the-fly solutions to old problems. Is an old, smart home a “wise home”?...

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Disclaimer: This video is for entertainment purposes only and should not be attempted by homeowners, DIYers, or other electricians without utility permission. Doing so may result in fines in many jurisdictions. There are 2 main reasons or advantages to having an external electrical disconnect: 1) According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), the main electrical panel of the home should be in close proximity to the entrance of the electrical utility service; however, if this is not possible, a main disconnect needs to be installed in a readily accessible place near the utility service. 2) An external disconnect enables the homeowner to cut off power to the main panel lugs, which would otherwise remain energized and dangerous even if the main breaker was turned off inside the panel. This can give greater peace of mind for future panel servicing. In this video, Joel will safely install an external electrical disconnect in a historic home’s operational electrical system, due to a code violation identified by a modern inspector long after the installation.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: The basement: That cold, dark land of low ceilings, random protrusions, & misfit wires & pipes. If you’re tired of dodging dusty headhunters as you check on your water heater once a year, there’s a few solutions, but only one that is electrically safe and sound according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). In this video, Joel corrects some poorly secured wire in an Indianapolis home from the 1900s without pulling any new wire and with just a few standard electrical tools. Low ceilings are unpleasant, here’s how a master electrician keeps them from dangling any lower!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: A ceiling exhaust fan in a bathroom minimizes humidity, improves air circulation, and provides an added sound barrier for privacy. Admittedly, there is a wide variety of exhaust fans including lighting, speakers, and even smart home virtual assistants these days, but in this video we’ll stick to the basics. Compared to most electrical installations, mounting a fan requires more attention to weight, ducting, and room size, but is electrically very similar.

In this video, Joel Walsman will share his observations of good and bad contractors throughout his 15-year career, the little clues to big inefficiencies, and how to diversify your workload to ensure peace and stability.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Electric Pro Academy was born in downtown Indianapolis as Jefferson Electric CEO Joel Walsman prepared for a nationwide master electrician workforce nosedive.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Work-From-Home life has so many benefits and oddities! If you’re like us, that beloved family of yours welcomed group lunchtime and extra hugs and smooches, but then subsequently voted your new “office” into an alcove in the basement with no windows, that damp concrete smell, & buzzing, fluorescent lighting. Well… we can fix one of those problems! In this video, Joel is upgrading fluorescents to recessed LED wafer lights in a master closet. Wafer lights are different from can lights in that they don’t require any ceiling clearance, making them better suited to remodel projects. In addition to an updated aesthetic, the upgrade to LED lighting will greatly reduce this homeowner’s energy and maintenance costs, and provide truer color accuracy for picking out the day’s outfit.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: As a life-long electrician, Joel’s seen a lot of unique electrical devices and practices, but nothing quite like the relics found in the 120 years-old Neidhammer building in Indianapolis. Inside are several large lighting control devices that are a welcome invitation into the electrical past of the area. We’d welcome historians’, experts’ & hobbyists’ input in figuring out how these massive obelisks may have served a 19th century venue. There’s also some work to be done to air-block the updated electrical panel in the basement, which is a simple fix that takes just 2 tools. If you’re experiencing irregularities or corrosion in your panel, residential or commercial, this is a quick fix that you’ll definitely want to find time for!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Some DIYers and handymen can bypass key safety measures without realizing (and some realize it but do it anyway!). A pretty frequent culprit of neglect is floor-mounted outlet receptacles. While it might seem like the same old boxes and devices can fit in the floor just as easily as they fit in the wall, the key difference is weight-ratings. Floor-mounted receptacles are specifically designed to withstand heavy load, which protects inhabitants from shock and arc hazards. Joel wears his husband, dad, and electrician hats in this video as he upgrades an out-of-code floor-mounted receptacle with a proper floor-rated outlet receptacle in his own home. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Do you find yourself replacing light bulbs too often? Are you worried about your TV & appliances operating correctly for their full life? Have you noticed that your phone & computer batteries have drained significantly, despite constant charging? All of these things may be good reasons for a whole home surge protector. In this video Joel will demonstrate 2 types of surge protectors that install directly into a home’s electrical panel to provide protection for all circuits. This is a home upgrade with significant long-term benefit, especially in tandem with surge protector strips in outlet receptacles throughout the home. Though step-by-step and widely available, we’d rank this as an intermediate-level DIY project due to the discomfort of some when working in their electrical panel. We hope to relieve your stress during and after the installation!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: Joel and his family recently moved into a 1938 home in Indianapolis, Indiana. Unfortunately, they bought the property knowing that many electrical upgrades would need to be made, but fortunately, Joel was up to the challenge and willing to bring viewers along. In this video, Joel will be replacing one of several out-of-code electrical sub-panels throughout the home. He’ll run into several electrical issues, dated practices & components, and nightmares including back-fed neutral current, BX wiring, tinned copper, narrow stud cavities, wire connections in the panel, grounding circuits through conduit, AFCI breakers, and more! While our content is mostly targeted to electrical apprentices, we hope it can be helpful to DIYers, hobbyists, & home project enthusiasts as well.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: Not sure what your electrical meter is, or perhaps where it came from? The average person does not have their own personal solar array or power supply, so they must ultimately get power from their local utility. Many homeowners might not know what goes on past their panel, so in this video Joel will walk through the various important components outside the home that are responsible for daily electricity.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: The beauty and draw of the electrical trade is the creation of a new, ultra-efficient highway of energy in a home. The problem with this creation is the destruction that must inevitably go hand-in-hand: Wire must be cut and stripped in little bits, wood framing must be drilled or cut, and parts and packaging need to be managed and disposed of. A proud tradesman might think that he is only responsible for the masterful creation process, but a humble tradesman takes responsibility for it all. In this video, Joel elaborates on what every Jefferson Electric master, journeyman, and apprentice is expected to contribute to an orderly and respectable work atmosphere, and the tasks and mentalities associated with those who do it well and those who don’t.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: If electricians are putting in the power, where do THEY get the power to charge tools, light their workspace, or heat the jobsite? While Jefferson Electric actually achieves most of these ends through batteries and forethought, there are times when electricity is needed on-site. In this video Joel will show how to get temporary power during new construction and who is responsible for its installation, upkeep, & cost.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: Though theoretically electrical circuits require a circular design, in a home wiring situation it is often more helpful to think of them as a tree. Having wired the home runs (the tree trunk) in our last video, Joel now shows how the power is distributed in the master bedroom (one branch). DIYers may find this helpful if running their own wire or troubleshooting apparent power issues in specific areas in the house. Electrical apprentices may benefit if assigned to running wire in one or several branch circuits in a home while keeping track of hot feeds & wire paths. The technical instruction is developed from the many hours of expertise of Jefferson Electric masters & journeymen.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: The term “Home Run” has a definition that might get lost on sports fans if they are not familiar with electrical jargon. To an electrician, the home run is the hot feed between the electrical panel and each room/circuit in a home. While home runs mostly follow the same rules of running wire that apply throughout the house, there are a couple additional things to keep in mind. In this video, Joel will give 3 major considerations for running home runs and give a glimpse into how things look from the panel. Not only will we show the technical details of the home runs process, but we’ll also sprinkle in some points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices to give you pro-level confidence.

This list was compiled by our resident master electrician and life-long tradesman Joel Walsman. Its emphasis is to preserve the creative art of the trades while minimizing the potentially destructive consequences of tool misuse, human error, and personal carelessness.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: Joel walks through the living spaces and unfinished spaces of a newly constructed home, clarifying the electrical needs of each space. The NEC makes more of its distinctions based on the presence of certain equipment, water, or foot traffic in a room or space, rather than the location in the house.

Joel will also include some recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Synopsis: Joel gives a look inside a project assignment at Jefferson Electric before breaking down outdoor electrical code. JE recommends thorough front-end communication and access to a communication software that allows for on-site feedback and leadership trust & mobility amongst multiple job sites. A team should be a body of different parts that value and honor one another equally. The codes for outdoor spaces are often dependent on landmarks, like the front door and the AC unit; however, it is always important to remember that the code represents a minimum requirement, not necessarily optimal accessibility. If considering extensive yard lighting, pool equipment, a patio with electric cooking appliances, or other outdoor scenes, make sure to reach out to a local professional for power recommendations.

Make sure to test the tool on a known live circuit right before testing the wires to be worked. • In switching applications the white wire isn't always a neutral wire. If it is part of the switched hot it must be "durably marked" generally with a flag of colored electrical tape (red, blue, brown, black, yellow are all acceptable). • Mechanical connectors (crimp sleeves, wire nuts etc) are required by code for all wire connections. • Code requirement to clean off the conductors (stripped ends of the wire) - clean off paint or wall mud using the correctly sized hole in your stripping tool. • Always use the screw tightened fittings on the switch, push in connectors are not quality connections - wrap the wire around the screw in a CLOCKWISE direction, so the tightening of the screw pulls the wrapped wire in tightly. • Tuck and fold the wires into the wire box - watch the location of the grounding conductor and make sure that it doesn't get any where near the switch terminals or other bare conductors. • Secure but don't over tighten the switch so that it deforms. • Make sure the box is within 1/4" of the surface of the drywall. • Install the switch cover - finish by orienting the screw slot in a consistent direction.

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. Residential New work 3 gang switch box wire setup - Hot feed black wire is marked with colored tape (NOT white, grey, or green per code) - All hot feed conductors are stripped extra long - Make sure that the wiring for each switch postiion is located in the corresponding knockout in the box - don't zigzag or cross wires in the box if possible, it makes a mess. Generally the first switch should be the main light, second switch the accessory lights, and third switch the ceiling fan. - Start by routing all grounding conductors to a common location to be mechanically connected by twisting them in a clock-wise direction, then cutting and removing the excess and installing a green grounding wire nut with a hole in the top for passing the grounding pigtail. Keep twisting the wire nut until the grounding wires are well twisted. - White conductors are not always neutral conductors - if they are not neutral they must be marked accordingly. - Tuck the wires vertically into their corresponding switch positions and overlay the hot feed power line over the other conductors horizontally.
