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.

What Did We Just Pull Up To?!

What Did We Just Pull Up To?!

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.

The THUNDEROUS Charger of the Ford Lightning

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!

They Don't Make These Anymore

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. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices. Please share any constructive criticism, differing opinions, or confusion in the comments section! 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.

Testing Arc Flash Gear the Hard Way

Testing Arc Flash Gear the Hard Way

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.

The Wig Lab is Nearly Complete

The Wig Lab is Nearly Complete

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. 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.

Future-Oriented Customers Secure Our Future Success

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.

Is that Supposed to be an Indoor Pool?...

Is that Supposed to be an Indoor Pool?...

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. If the instruction in this video is unclear or skew to what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance.

Unearthing the Lost City of the Mole People

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.

What are we, ARCHEOLOGISTS?!

What are we, ARCHEOLOGISTS?!

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.

Now All We Need's a Generator...

Now All We Need's a Generator...

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! If you’d like to be our next happy customer and/or collaborator, please check the links below. As always, if 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.

When the Homeowner & Utility are Both Waiting on YOU!

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. If you’re in the generator game, we hope this video is helpful, but let us know if things are unclear in the comments.

I Blew it!!! Right in Front of our Best Customer!

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.

Electrical Work for House Flippers Doesn't Have to be Stressful

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.

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.

Hardwiring an Autel EV Charger Straight to the Panel

Hardwiring an Autel EV Charger Straight to the Panel

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! Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric 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.

Upgrading My Own House to 1,000 Amps

Upgrading My Own House to 1,000 Amps

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.

Tesla Exec Revolutionizes Breaker Panels Forever - Finish-Out - 3

Tesla Exec Revolutionizes Breaker Panels Forever - Finish-Out - 3

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). Here’s what went smoothly and not so smoothly in our maiden install. If the instruction in this video is unclear or skew to what you are searching for, feel free to comment below for additional assistance.

Can You Replace A 2-Prong Outlet With A 3-Prong?

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!

This Metal Block Fixes A Common Electrical Panel Problem

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: If you’re a homeowner looking to sell, or a beginner electrician finishing a job, a very common place to fail the electrical portion of an inspection is in “separation of grounds and neutrals after the 1st disconnecting means”.

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!

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) For Our New ONWOTE 4K Security Camera System

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) For Our New ONWOTE 4K Security Camera System

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.

EV Charging For $1 Per 100 Miles

JsYefGUCxDM | 07 Jul 2022

EV Charging For $1 Per 100 Miles

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.

How To Fix Grandma's Crystal Light Fixture

How To Fix Grandma's Crystal Light Fixture

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.

How Much Power Does The "Off-Grid" Shop Need

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.

How much power would I, an average DIY viewer, need in a secondary structure shop/shed? 2.

Making $1,600/hr. As An Electrician?

Making $1,600/hr. As An Electrician?

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!

Troubleshooting Confused Light Switches

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!

Installing A Receptacle For Any Major Electrical Appliance

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.

Full Hot Tub Electrical Install - Start To Finish

Full Hot Tub Electrical Install - Start To Finish

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/.

Installing Residential Solar In One Day

Installing Residential Solar In One Day

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.

How To Add An External Electrical Disconnect To Your Home

How To Add An External Electrical Disconnect To Your 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. Within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

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! Along with the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Upgrade Your Fluorescent Lights To Wafer LEDs

Upgrade Your Fluorescent Lights To Wafer LEDs

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. We welcome you to follow along. Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

Replacing My Floor Outlet Receptacle

Replacing My Floor Outlet Receptacle

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.

Protecting My Whole Home From Electrical Surge

Protecting My Whole Home From Electrical Surge

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!

Replacing My Whole Electrical Panel

Replacing My Whole Electrical Panel

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.

The 7 Deadly Sins of Workspace Management

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.

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.

Running Wire Inside Your Home

JGAvyOgTlGQ | 28 Oct 2021

Running Wire Inside Your Home

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.

Electrical Home Runs

BVITpyRyGdM | 18 Oct 2021

Electrical Home Runs

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.

Outdoor Power - Code Minimum

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.

Three Way Switch Wiring

Three Way Switch Wiring

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money. • Before getting into the wiring check that the power it turned off using a non-contact voltage tester (link below). 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.
