Thk u so much for explaining in detail how to chg a $5 breaker, I have that issue right now and you’re saving me $200 for a ez fix. I certainly feel comfortable replacing myself as I already did the outlet for $1.50 ..Again thk you
Very informative video, Lorenzo. If I could make a few suggestions, they would be the following: 1. For safety sake, you should inform the viewers that, even with the main circuit breaker turned off, the input wires to the main breaker are still hot and should be avoided. 2. I would use a meter to verify that the circuits are disconnected from power, and that power is still present on the input to the main breaker. 3. I'm sure your wife would understand if you removed your ring before working on electrical circuits. Again for the sake of safety.
Thank you so much! I am in tears my dad passed and I brought a house and miss calling him. You made this so simple. Thank God for you putting this video out. I appreciate it. I did it !!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
YES! A SUCCINCT explanation that tells you to turn off ALL the power FIRST before you start touching killy-killy electrocute yourself stuff! Thank you!
Thank you very helpful. We are going to replace all of our breakers now in our Mobile. We have four 15 and 2 twenty which we found at Home Depot. Good video
Thanks appreciate it. An electrician is highly expensive & I def understand safety 1st no doubt, but this is also something I feel that is very simple as long as you follow & check everything very carefully then u shld be capable of doing this urself. Do not get in a rush. Safety is the utmost importance when it comes to dealing w/electricity Because like u said in ur video it also is deadly. Thanks again tho. U confirmed what I already knew that I am familiar w/& can't wait to replace this breaker! Hopefully I have the same results as u did lol!
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS test for current after turning power off. More people are killed every year with residential voltages than any other in the electrical world. Make sure you have a quality meter to test. SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY
Thank you for your video. How do I find out where my power is coming from from on my outlets? The licensed electrician could not figure it out. Those three outlets are the only ones not receiving power.
I know you turned off the main breaker before replacing the breaker, but I noticed you inserted the wire back into the new breaker with the switch “on”. Should the new breaker be switched to the off position before inserting the new wire? Or doesn’t matter, because the main is off? Thank you
Thanks for the very informative video. Is it possible to replace a 15 with a 60 amp breaker or it’s to big of a change and a whole rewiring would be required. Thanks again
Thank you sir. I think once I get another tester I'm gonna replace mine. Electricians around me haven't returned my calls. I just want to make sure power is off and 2 multimeters telling me it is will comfort me. I got zapped with high voltage line hidden in grass as a firefighter at a structure fire and almost died. Been paranoid about electricity ever since. I've worked on electricity before but the panel makes me more nervous.
are all 15 amp breakers a single wire ? One of mine keeps going out at less than rated amps and feels mushy when moved back and forth. They get carbon build up that causes resistance and hence overheating that trips it ?
The majority of your breakers in your house will be single wire because they're a single throw breaker. If it's more than one wire, it will be a dual throw breaker. If you look at this video, you'll see his panel has two dual throw breakers on each side of the panel near the top. Hope that helps.
LMAO as an ex-contractor I find that piece of information redundant. If you do not have the basic electrical theory knowledge and at least some experience handling high voltage components you have no business trying to do your own electrical work. So no need to clarify every single detail hire a licensed professional if you don't even know where electricity comes from.
You mean camera angles need improvement? Sure. They are obviously not professional youtubers. I don't understand people like you who are eager to negatively categorize someone without any constructive feedback. I guess you are a pedant because you have little else to give. If I were like you I would categorize your opinion as terrible and worthless to society =)
This guy knows nothing about electrical. You should always call someone who knows. It's not called a screw. It's called a terminal. Also code require those to be torqued down to a certain psi. You need to know what you're doing. I hate to see people to this. When you kill someone,you'll get it.
Sigh... this video is intended for people who know what they are doing. You have no business doing your own electrical work if you have no clue about the basic electrical theory and have handled high voltage components before. You in particular should ensure everyone's safety and hire a licensed professional. All the rest of us needed was to see how to remove the breaker, as for anything else you should have the knowledge and expertise. You don't learn how to be an electrician on a 10 minute video online LOL some people are cheap and ungrateful bad combination.

Let there be light! Love it
Tyvm 4 ur vid on how to put in a 15 Amp circuit breaker relatively easily
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS test for current after turning power off. More people are killed every year with residential voltages than any other in the electrical world. Make sure you have a quality meter to test. SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY
Good job
Test for voltage. Testing for current won’t save you.
Wow, You are good at it!
Thanx man. Wish me luck. No wait...pray for me
Great video, gotta go replace my breaker now. Cheers!
Thank you so very much!! You made it seem like easy!!
I just did this thanks so much for the video so helpful
Thank you so much! Perfect video.
Thanks bro! I’m changing mine out, as soon as I get home from the oilfield
Super helpful man, thank you for the information
The breaker supposed to be in the off position when installed then after the live wire connected, you turn it on right?
Well like I said he should have performed every step to show how he replaced his breaker. 👎👎👎👎
Good posting and helpful...thanks!
great job thank you I'm subscribing!!
Thank you for your video. How do I find out where my power is coming from from on my outlets? The licensed electrician could not figure it out. Those three outlets are the only ones not receiving power.

Appreciate your instructions O.G.!!!!!
Thank you for instructions !

Thank you. This will come in handy.
Well done video. Thanks
Great video, thank you for share. I just saved some $$$$$
Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for the very informative video. Is it possible to replace a 15 with a 60 amp breaker or it’s to big of a change and a whole rewiring would be required. Thanks again
You can NOT replace any breaker with something other than the original unless you rewire the circuit.
Good video man, thanks.
Very useful for me .Thank you .
Thank you for your help.
Nice work boss!
Great job. Thank you!
Thanks. Was helpful.
Great video

GREAT VID! THANKS!!
Thank you very good tutorial.
Fantastic!
How do you know if you have a defective breaker?
Great Job!
THANK YOU!!!. THANK YOU!!!.

THANK YOU GRASIAS
De donde eres, Mexico?
Thank you!
Thanks,
Thank u
Let there be light... 😀
Make sure the wire goes between the two metal plates
Seems like my screw will not turn out no matter how much pressure I put on it.
I am no genius but I would pull the breaker out first before disconnecting the hot wire.
Did not see in this video a FLUKE volt meter always treats electrical as is live regardless is in off position
Should use a multimeter to CONFIRM no voltage/amps on that breaker. Safety 1st my ass.
You left out exactly how to put the wire between the 2 plates not the screw.
You did not point out that some and most fuse box have live wires coming in from the city, can’t turn it off and should not be touched
