I love your videos man. I'm a pro but I like the way you go over the entire process very thorough
Thank you so much! Means a lot bother! 🙏🏽😊
Awesome video, i love the recaps and the baby steps explanations.. 👍
@@FixThisHouse if you wouldve capped the red off in the switch and also in the lamp and just ran all 3 hots int the light together and did 2 hots on the switch you wouldve got same result right?? In other words you coudve used 14-2 all round (specificaly from switch to light instead of 14-3) and everything wouldve been exactly the same right??
I usually hate long videos because it's more blabbing than actually showing me what to do. But I literally watched the whole video and forgot I was on the toilet. Im installing a ceiling fan on my porch with an outlet for minor things, so this was so informative thank you.
Great instructional videos. As a former engineering professor, it is great that you review or go over your work to ensure that people understand your are doing. You need not apologize for the review because the experienced may find it unnecessary. Remember that you are not demonstrating to those experienced in electrical wiring but to those with no or limited experience who appreciates the review. Keep up the good work. We are watching your videos.
no your not!
As someone still starting off in electrical wiring, I appreciate the recaps!! Your video was helpful so keep up with how you're currently presenting the information!
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Yes recap helps “bring it home”. Only more not less! My house would be burning down r n if it wasn’t for your videos 😂😂🤦♂️
Great video
Bro, this is by far the most easiest video to understand because of how specific and detailed you are. Your channel is amazing and so are you as an instructor!
Gotta give this guy a HUGE Thumbs UP! His tutorials are some of the best TH-cam has to offer. Extremely thorough in his presentation and overall process. A natural instructor, everyone doesn't have this gift. Recaps are the best! Thank you for this very informative Tutorial, please keep doing what you're doing!
I literally watch dozens of electrical educational videos. YOU ARE THE EASIEST TEACHER I HAVE WATCHED HANDS DOWN BAR NONE 🙏🏼😇😎🌅🌈🌎☮️
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊😭 means a lot!
One of the best electrical hookup videos I have seen. Thanks for posting this. Very much appreciated. Job done well here thanks to you.
Thank you so much for the love and support! 🙏🏽😊
One of the best instructors I have watched. Everything is explained in clear terms to benefit those in the know that perhaps did not know all the “why” and those that are new to diy.
I'm not even an electrician and yet I keep watching your videos. You explain things in a simple and easy way for someone like me to understand.
Excellent videos! You are a natural born teacher - they 1) Tell you what they are going to tell you in a very simple manner, then 2) Tell you in a plain spoken manner, and then 3) Tell you what they just told you - never stop with your simple explanations of recapping like this at least 3 times since it is essential for learning!
This instructional video saved my a$$. I am a drywall guy not an electrician and it didn't seem too complicated to move hall light before I cut the wiring. However, it was like looking at a book written in a different language when I went to hook everything back up again. I got it back in order first try, no blown breakers and life is good again. I even learned something in the process-win win.
I’m a carpentry contractor and I watch all your videos this one was so helpful. Keep them coming you are so step by step. Thanks
This is the first video I've found that clearly explains how the neutral wire continues all the way from the beginning to the end of the circuit, while the hot (black) wire from the light fixture returns to the switch via a wire that is neither black nor white (red in this case), and the final receptacle is wired normally: Black to hot and white to neutral. Got it! Thanks for breaking it down in such detail.
Currently doing a remodel of my basement myself. And electrical has always been one thing I didn’t like to mess with. After learning through TH-cam videos and some of my electrician buddies it’s something I’m confident in. This video showed something I was wanting to do and your process and clean wiring got you a new subscriber. Awesome work.
I built a new bathroom in the basement. I wasn't sure how to do the wiring. I found your video which is exactly what I needed to do. Switch, light and outlet. As you presented the info, I would pause, run to the bathroom, do what you said and back to the video. At the end it all was PERFECT. I even SUB'd due to this video. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for this! I was installing a ceiling fan with a light. Despite taking a wiring class last year, I couldn’t remember how to get my switch to turn my fan on/off but, also get my outlets to work all the time, but not have the fan on 24/7. This helped a lot! Thanks for the refresher and you’re definitely getting a sub!
Nice! Someone who knows how to step by step instruct, present clear videos and make a confusing problem easy for this DIY guy. Great job buddy!
Wow...after reading all the other reviews, I can't find words to express my appreciation for the very clear and truly outstanding "how to" video. I enjoyed listening to your descriptions and recaps, and I especially appreciated the confidence you inspired in me to try this for myself. You completely removed the "boogie man" from the equation and simplified a challenging electrical job.
Thank you for taking time to train those of us who want to expand our scope of DIY home repair knowledge...you did a very fine job.
I just finished wiring a switch, light and outlet in my remodeled bathroom, and I referenced this video many times throughout. Thank you for the detailed explanations!
This is my first time checking your videos and it caught my attention how detail you are and how easy you make it look. I'm an HVAC/R Pro but also love electricity and I'm always doing projects around the house. Keep up the Great work you are doing with this video. You have no idea how much they help people like me. Thank you for taking the time.
I just bought the voltclaw....what a great tool. Awesome tutorial. Easy to understand and practical knowledge
Keep up the great work explaining the electoral. I know professionals in every trade and when they are teaching and training they all recap a few times. You shouldn't apologize for being an amazing teacher.
From someone who had no idea how to do this. I understand now. Thank you. Great video. Don't change anything.
I appreciate your methodical approach and recaps to the videos, but have two suggestions: 1) Edit down the time spent on Wago close-ups and making the ground and neutral connections 2) Explain why the switch leg from the 3-way was the red wire, and why it connected to the bottom terminal with the hots on top. You breezed over the most important aspect of wiring these fixtures.
Why add the 14/3 section? Why can’t you just use 14/2 throughout? I’m looking to add pot lights in ceiling in bathroom and want to add switch and tap off an outlet. Hope you see this. Thanks
@@recombi123 For newer code purpose you gotta have a neutral inside the switch box for the newer smart switches. The 14/3 leaves the nuetrual free.
Wa-go's or known as Firestarters. They will be outlawed soon. Thousands of fires are directly related to them.
Yes please explain that red wire on bottom. What would differ if opposite black on bottom red on top
@@nakht2536 nothing would change. It doesn’t matter what screw you put the wires on for that switch.
THANK YOU!!! This is probably the easiest to follow, comprehensive, dumbed down for guys like me video I have ever seen on this subject.
I am a smart dude, and being a smart dude I know when I don’t quite know enough to tackle something that is new without some education… especially when it comes down to running electrical.
And as for the recaps… don’t apologize! Exactly what I needed.
Subscribed and notified because I know I will want more content. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the love and support! I’m glad I could be of help! Stay tuned for more basic electrical videos! 🙏🏽😊
Your videos are beautiful. I really appreciate the way you explain things and do the recaps. I have a little bit of experience with these kinda things, but you really help me see the big picture and anatomy of wiring. I was replacing 2 3-way switches and got confused when putting it back together. I watched your video on that and it made perfect sense and I was able to connect it right. Thank you so much for your content!
This is a REALLY GOOD VIDEO. I just started an electrical pre-apprenticeship so I'm doing the in-class learning before I go out in the field and I really appreciated how you always do recaps of steps.
We Love the recap . Like how you explain and go over everything again so nothing is missed.
What an excellent video. Baby steps is what DIYers need to get their concepts cleared
Thank you for yours humbleness to teach others like me . Who just finish electrician-1 class and couldn't even connect a switch to a lamp on paper. The teacher goes so fast and because he knows the math behind it and the connections he confuse me and others that never work on electrical before. And when we ask to explain it again he gets mad, because he don't want to explained again. To cut short. Thank you again for explaining the concept in a easy plain format. GOD Bless.
Thanks for a extremely detailed demonstration on how to install a outlet, switch and light fixture. This will help me install a Eufy Floodlight. Thanks again!
Got to give you a big thanks for breaking this down so nicely. Been having an issue with some 1950s wiring. Love the recap because it prevents me from having to rewind. Also, you made it very clear to me that I'm more of a visual hands on person. Watched several other videos before yours and they only used vitural diagrams. They were helpful in showing the flow of current but showing the application made my issue very clear. Thanks again.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
This video is like going to electrical school for free! Great video!!! I love your recaps! Now that’s the best part for us ELL 😅 I feel more confident now!!
Thank you so much…pls keep them coming
Blessings
You are a teacher!! This video couldn’t be clearer and easier to understand. Subscribed. Thank you,,
Thank you! I love how you over explain things, lavel things for us that are not as familiar or trying to learn it. 👏 Big thanks!
Thank you for explaining every single wire and its function slowly and acurately. Very educational .
Thanks for the very informative video. I am not new to this but am a DIY’er and being a senior, I always need refresher info. I really appreciate your thoroughness in explaining everything. Keep it up.
You’re an awesome teacher. I’m licensed electrician here in Texas and I’m stumped.
Very good instruction video, straight forward and easy to understand, unlike some other videos on doing this job, where a guy talks too fast, leaves out important info, or just talks too much, so you are overloaded with information.
I replaced a three way switch that used to control a fan/light combination , with a single pole switch for a new light without a fan, then found out the receptacle that was powered by the tree way switch wouldn't work anymore, after watching your video, I think that I can wire it correctly.
Thank you so much for the love and support. I really appreciate your feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you so much my friend.....I'm really Carpenter/ Everything except Electrical Guy, but your videos has helped me to wire up my investment property by myself. Thank you!!
Wow, this guy has the heart of a teacher. Amazing video thank you.
Wow, I’ve watched over 100 electrical wiring videos and couldn’t learn a thing, 4 seconds into this video i could wire a room.
The thumbnail alone thought me how to wire a room, amazing
Thank you so much for the love and support my friend! 🙏🏽😊
Lol, 4 seconds...I don't think so
MAGA!
I'm not an electrician I'm just a handy man at times...though I like watching you explain everything and your work is just so so clean, you are an awesome young man who's teaching this old guy some good stuff...though I may only have about 10 years left in this beautiful world that we live in I like to know how to do things still without asking anyone for help...thank you Sir and Peace to You and Yours...
we struggled for hours with this kind of wiring, thanks to you we finally figured it out!!!! thank you thank you thank you
I’m glad you were able to fix your issue! Thank you for watching and your feedback! 🙏🏽😊

Appreciate the break downs. Clear and precise straight to the point.
Super detailed! Connecting an outlet to my light in garage for my dust collector. Saved this video for reference. New sub because of how detailed your videos are. God bless.
I'm adding a ceiling fan/light to my living room off of an existing switch that controls a wall outlet by my TV. Your video inadvertently gave me the answer to how I plan on wiring it up. Thank you for saving me a headache!
Very useful video, you have cleared my concern about adding a live outlet from a light switch. You did very good job ! Keep sharing more videos. Thank you !!!
Hey brother... This was the clearest, easiest to follow video I've seen on this topic! Thank you so much. I'm a diy'er about to start on an electrical project and I think I finally understand what the red wire is for!!!
I ran into this problem recently and your video helped save the day. Thank you so much for your content 😊
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions. Well done!
Only video you need for wiring a light with a switch! Great video!
I feel like I should pay for this! very helpful and informative. I love the recaps I’m a visual learner so you explaining from where came what was so helpful!
U don’t need to apologize for your wonderful, thorough great,clear, easy to understand teaching. I’m the same way in teaching people.

I love the break down,, for those of us who aren’t handy. this video is very informative.I am glad that I came across it! Great explanation of the entire process. Thank you so much, I will subscribe to your channel.
I needed this. Redoing the wiring and outlets in the bedroom and I added in a smart switch but couldn't figure out how to wire everything ( smart switch, outlets and lights) off the light switch. Subbed and saved this video
Thanks for making this video, exactly what I was looking for. I was able to follow you step for step and saved myself alot of frustration 👍
Thank you. Very good instructions. I appreciate it when you go back and show us again what was done and how.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊 have a great weekend!
Informative video, good job. You should also mention that your source wire at the switch should be connected at the line in , so the orientation is not upside-down.
Amazing job and wonderful how you explain everything steps by steps with every detail. I really appreciate your time to show me and understand everything. I was looking for answer to my room which the switch turn on everything at the same time. Thanks a million.
Thanks for the video. Easy to understand. The breakdowns are great. I don't need every one, but the ones I do need are worth the wait for others!
You are good! Very thorough steps, reminders and safety.
Now this is how to teach. Great work. Can't thank you enough..
Thank you so much for your videos. They are clear, concise, and easy to understand. You have saved me so much time and money. I really appreciate it!
Dam beat video out there. Totally explained in full details with all the others telling their life stories. Straight to the point. Excellent video great info.
Thank you so much for the love and support! Awesome feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Are usually hate when people do “breakdowns“… But some people do them way too much on stuff that’s so obvious… You’re actually doing it every few steps because it can be complicated I know minor electrical . And your breakdowns definitely help me.
This is a great tutorial. Very easy for an amateur to follow. Learned a lot! Thank
Keep up the good work. I don't mind you repeating everything. Very informative 👏
Thank you for keeping it simple and showing how to do it step by step really helps a diy like myself. 👍
Glad to be of help! Thank you for your feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Your explanation and demonstration was very clear and helpful. Thank you!
True friends don't mind recaps. This video has been an immense help!
Congratulations on putting up a video that is one of the best on TH-cam! Not only do you do it right and explain what everything is, you also used the correct terms! So many think that device in your hand is an outlet. Very Respectfully, Kevin
Eaton sells them as "residential duplex outlets". Better let them know they're wrong.
This was SOOOOOO helpful. Thank you for being so clear and concise and giving us confidence!
Nicely done!!! Like that stuffing and straightening tool for organizing the box.
Outstanding, I like how you go over everything. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I highly appreciate the breakdowns!
Thank for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
That was great. I love the detail and the recap. Well done.
