Clearest instructions I've seen on this. Thanks. I had one electrician quote $900 to install a breaker and an outlet right next to the box. For $50 in materials and 90 minutes I did it myself
I've watched a lot of videos and this is by far the easiest one to understand. I definitely subscribed.next I need to see how to attach multiple lights with 1 light switch
Thanks for the informative video. It seems others rush thru this so fast I am backing the video up because I thought I missed something. But you took things slow and easy. Yet still didn't make a 5 min job into a half hour video.
very simple way to install a Breaker despite if you decide to do it life or not that's up to you - I don't want to light up like a Christmas tree so turn the main breaker OFF- GREAT job Instructor Thank you!
Absolutely great video! Most how to or diy instructional videos good or bad are rushed and the instructions are poorly explained. Resulting in having to watch and find certain spots to understand how to execute the task or missing something completely. The convoluted information that has no relevance to the project and work and even at times they admit after a long winded pointless story. I felt comfortable and confident that I could execute this potentially dangerous job without problems. I have a recording studio and wanted to have independent circuits for powering equipment that have heavy pull and that are expensive. For such a small job it would suck to pay someone to come out and do it for me when it’s so easy. Also the peace of mind that I know it’s done right, won’t put my family in danger, or my equipment that took a lifetime to a lifetime to accumulate. I can tell you truly understand what your doing and others could learn a lot from how you teach. I have Great job and thank you.
Very good. Other videos start with a more complicated breaker like a GFCI or an arc arrester breaker. Your video teaches the basics, what I want to know.
Awesome content! Very thorough and helpful for someone, like me, who has no idea about electrical. Thanks very much and look forward to binging your videos
Thanks Craig, you make it look easy, I don’t know anything about electricity, but do know solar, we have outgrown our wire runs to plugs for a surge protector outlet strip , inverter and deep cycle batteries runs our cabin, lights, fridge and even a tv
Thank you no rushing its clear and understandable. How do I install extra reset button from main reset button from the panel coz you can reset from other location as you don't have to come to panel all the time to reset.
Craig, good presentation, however, at the beginning you gave permission to your students to poke their hands into an electrical box while looking the other way. Glad for you the panel was cold and your hand stopped where it did. A careless student might not be so lucky.
There can still be parts that are hot where the main breaker lugs are in a main residential panel unless you get the utility company out to pull their meter while you work on the panel.
I found that useful. Right to the point, with no muddied explanations. I think I would want to tie a yellow zip tie around all three wires as well to further remove confusion down the line to quickly identify them as coming from the same sheathed wire assembly. I see that both your ground and your neutral white wire went to the same bus bar. I like that SQ D simplification. I had just seen a diagram of a service panel with separate bus bars for the neutral, and others for the ground, but I believe that the bus bars were somehow bonded, or at least the diagram suggested it, giving it the same effect in essence, by providing them both a path to ground, but managing to make a mess of the wires with their design, and create a little confusion to boot. I much prefer Square D, but wonder if the extra expense for a QO is really justified over their Homeline.
That is not a square d certification, that is a faulty installation. The neutral and ground should not be bonded in a sub panel. They should only be bonded in the main distribution panel. If you do not understand what that means do not attempt.
this was a very helpful video! I looked through your channel and didn't see a similar video of installing a breaker for 240v (such as for water heater, A/C, or oven). If you can make one I'll be glad to watch and "like" it.
Helpful for me, thank you. DO you have a video on how to pigtail wires in the electrical box? For example, if you run an 8 gauge for a tankless electric water heater and need to pigtail the 8 gauge ground wire due to lack of room on the buss bar? Keep up the good work!
This video was great for me, it help me . Please could you give us any guidance about GFEP & GFCI electrical breaker, I need an outlet for the water pipe heater I don’t know how to choose this. P,ease any information is grateful appreciated , thanks

Nice work man✌️
excellent video, thank you
That's a good one man thanks you I will make a video like yours sound interesting
Did i miss something, or did he fail to mention at the very beginning, that it would be a great idea to turn the main power off before anything else
exhalejackie so u telling me to put a break in the panel u have to turn it off? u can't do it live?
@@NewPhone-bg7do hell naw you shouldn't
That's optional
@@ltwadley7619 the result would be longevity?
@@lanceclayton2492 Learned the hard way, I blew out my panel and got a terrible shock.....turn power off before inserting the breaker.....
Easy to understand and well made vid. Thank you.
Great instruction ... I feel more confident after this video.
Good video I learned alot
Thanks was very helpful
Craig, good presentation, however, at the beginning you gave permission to your students to poke their hands into an electrical box while looking the other way. Glad for you the panel was cold and your hand stopped where it did. A careless student might not be so lucky.
Dan Benton what u mean
You're not supposed to work them hot.
There can still be parts that are hot where the main breaker lugs are in a main residential panel unless you get the utility company out to pull their meter while you work on the panel.
Great video, thank you for share
Thanks, Craig !

Sorry I dont at this time. I will add it to my list of things to shoot. Thank you for the suggestion. CM
Just land it under the neutral buss bar assuming it’s ur main panel and u have room
Great instructions
Thank you !
Thankyou good job
This video was great for me, it help me . Please could you give us any guidance about GFEP & GFCI electrical breaker, I need an outlet for the water pipe heater I don’t know how to choose this. P,ease any information is grateful appreciated , thanks
