    I agree some people hire non professionals to save costs, I have seen detrimental results, almost costing the person the house. SMH

    That 3000 is not accurate,
    And every connection point.
    That includes every breaker, plug, switch, light socket, earth rod, earth lug, pot head n so on.
    The meter socket alone carries 6 connection point, plus there is a charge for chopping and patching the wall, and also the main is charged per foot to dig and run

      @andraecampbell5274 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      you cannot say the 3000 is not accurate, that is what one electrician charge mercury, maybe your electrician will charge more or less. she is telling you what they charge her, so you can use the information as a guide to say hey, that is too much or yeah man, can work with your price. that's how i see it.

      Hi Nigel. Coast to Coast Concrete & Aggregates charge 18,500.00 per cubic yard tax included if your mason does the finishing and $19,000.00 per cubic yard if their crew does the finising.

    Goodday RAV what's the average cost to build a light poll?.

    • @ravmercury3225
      @ravmercury3225  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, I have no idea about the current cost to construct a light pole. That would depend on the height and style. When I built mine 4 years ago the cost was 23K for material and labour. I suggest you consult with a mason on this matter seeing that you are in the construction industry yourself based on your channel name.

    Have you gotten a rational for using both GFCI Breaker and GFCI receptacles? I've been talking to a few electricians who are saying some inspectors wont pass the building if they don't use both on the same circuit? A note for qualification I did my bachelors at Utech in Electrical engineering but migrated before I did the interview to become an Licensed electrician. I am a licensed electrician in Canada and here we use one or the other plus when the GFCI receptacle is used the receptacle downstream is not required to be GFCI bcoz it is protected by the upstream GFCI receptacle. When GFCI breaker is used in the circuit all receptacle on that circuit are GFCI protected. So just curious why you require both? Not sure if you can get an answer for this question.

      @jellojaw 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@kantakilla yea I know that's what the code says but what is their rational for making the code that way? Seems to me whomever developed the code is unaware of the workings of gfci breakers and or receptacles.
      Are we still using the js21 or if not what is the current code book? Am wondering if it's a matter of the code in and of itself or simply a misinterpretation of the code!?!?
      It's simply a waste of money for zero added protection using both.
