Hmmm, I’m no electrician but I’ve lived here for 30 years and have lived in houses in SC, NY, and KY. That is the first time I’ve seen a breaker box located on the OUTSIDE of a house. I hope you get the inside taken care of. 👍🏻👍🏻
there are a lot of houses in the south with outside breaker boxes, I agree it's weird.
Yeah you’re no electrician but this is common on multi family housing
@@KRAKERJAC I didn't need reassurance that I was not an electrician, I admitted it in my comment.
@@TC_Conner I agree as an electrician myself I’ve personally not dealt with them outside every state has different regulations and placements 😊
Omg that outlet! The people who did that likely won’t be breathing very long. Nice job. I laughed out loud when you said this house is a nightmare. I’m not an electrician but am in homes all of the time (computer repair tech) and have seen some dangerous things such as three cheap power strips plugged into each other.
I’m in New England and also have never seen a home electrical panel on the outside of a home.
Did a fantastic job here mate. I used to hate fixing really old homes that obviously had been renovated previously from the owner or weekend warriors. Super stuff John. 👌
Ads just finished mate.
It was a mess
You're a brave man Sparky !!! Well done
Thanks Dave
Great job, John! Oh my gosh...that outlet!!!
I know!! I think someone did it on purpose to cause a fire
Cutting and persuasion, lol...yes, that looks like a huge mess of spider webs!!
Would have liked to have seen the finished wiring before you put the cover back on.
Thanks for your great, straight to the point video.
hope it helped
For the future make sure the little green screw that comes in new panels is taken out unless it’s at first means of disconnect,like in the video
great info thanks
someone told me sometimes you would have to rewire to convert, what conditions would require you to rewire the house instead of just swap the fuse box for a breaker box?
I'd upgrade wiring if it were aluminum
Great job John looks really good 👍🙏👍🙏
Thanks 👍
pretty sure you got that installed backwards. the green bonding screw is supposed to be the NEUTRAL side...
installed as provided from factory.
some say the green screw should just be removed.
I cant see what it makes a difference.
green, bare, white, all the same until you're inside the house.
@@TheProCut17 dude...if you truly don't know why this is a ridiculous statement, how has ANY electrical inspector not failed you?
Wow. This looks like a total PITA, but I have to get this done in my house. What do you advise if the old wires are too short?
you can safely extend them with a splice, but pulling a new wire would be best. just make sure all your splices are accessible.
@@TheProCut17 Do all splices have to be in a junction box?
@@ronj9592 that would be the best practice. you just want them to be accessible in the future and not buried in a wall somewhere
Looked a bit of a mess there! You delivered the info fantastic and it could do well. Enjoy doing inside 🤦🏻

Back! Ads
Man, then fuse box was a rat’s nest. We install 200 amp panels here. Yeah, the guy that used a 110 outlet in 220 should not be allowed to breath .
this was an older smaller house so only 100amp fuse box though I put in a 125 amp breaker box
Do you have to replace those old wires; the ones at the bottom going into bottom breaker in fuse box?
No wires were replaced on this job.
You don’t have to separate the grounds and neutrals unless it’s the sub panel or second means of disconnect. That was the first means of disconnect.
thanks for the extra knowledge
Shouldn’t the white wire for the main wires be tied into the neutral side and not the side with the ground? Genuine question not hating.
I kept this box wired the exact way it was originally wired.
If it were a sub panel you would separate the white and bare.
How much would it cost to replace and update it, and how long would I be with out power? I got a 6 fuses in it and wanted to update in my 1955 home please reply back at your earliest convenience
each job varies also different electricians charge different rates
you could be anywhere from 1000 to 5000
power would be out a few hours to a day
you would save thousands to do it yourself, with a little research its not too hard of a job.
@The ProCut my cousin is an eltrician he said about 5k to upgrade mine
"Some people should not be allowed to breathe." 😂😂😂
some people are really just taking up space lol
Having the electrical box on the outside is not a good idea, fuse or breaker, you know what you're doing, it would be a good idea to look into a good spot for the box inside. I've seen wiring like that melted outlet, yeah....
I agree 100% about the box. I would have rewired the entire house and put it inside if it were mine. there was a lot of bad stuff here.
Good advice John...but in this case I would always use a professional to do this work..
thanks Terry
How much did that cost replacing the old with the new ? Thank you
each job would vary, this one was around 2000
Do you have to call the electric company to turn off the power at the meter or can the electrician do that on his own?
on this job the power was turned off at the pole by the power company.
Had a break go bad last month
they do that once and a while, but not often
Great work John ! super sanitary box install 👍 Was that plug in the kitchen by chance ? Was it ever common down there to have a "toaster plug" ? Did buddy maybe pervert the wiring in the box to change a toaster plug to the 220 ? Crazy for sure, especially not to put it back when leaving.
I have no idea why there would be a plug over the stove makes no sense to me. the previous tenant trashed the wiring though out the house
@@TheProCut17- No matter what you have them well sorted now 👍
@@TheCanadianBubba can't find where they cut the wires to the rest of the kitchen outlets
@@TheProCut17- One of those wall scanners they were selling ads for on here last year would be handy so long as they work.
@@TheCanadianBubba I have a few different electronic devices could not trace them
hood much would it cost to have an electrician do this?
over $2k
Shocking. Brandy doesn't let me electrical lol 🙄
lol
It dosent really matter in your case because the box is bonded anyway I’m just saying this for other people thinking of doing this.
thanks
What is average cost for a job like this ? Thx
Prices vary this should have been around 2k
