Did I miss the part about flickering lights?
I’ve been in the electrical industry for 36 years, you are by far one of the best tradesman in the country. Great work.

I couldn’t agree more. 10 years in and I’ve been watching him for years. He doesn’t fuck around 👌🏻
That home-owner is lucky he got a good electrician with his remodel; what a mess that was!
Your an impeccable electrician. Thank You. I’m new to your channel and I’m impressed with the admiration about protecting of homeowners.
Thanks Again for all the awesome videos!
im working on being an apprentice and have my 2020 nec book out whenever you reference a code number. Really appreciate it and look forward to watching more of your videos.
Sparky from NC here, much respect for your workmanship and care you put into our trade⚡
Thanks for you taking your time to do these videos I enjoy them...
Very informative and relatable. Thanks for the video
How did you go about tracing out all of the circuits and splices? I'd love to see a video on how to do that, especially after the drywall's up.
Great video Josh. Always enjoy watching your videos. I can't believe all of the negative haters out there. Have you ever considered teaching at a trade school? You are a great educator and the next generation of electricians could benefit from your knowledge.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I feel like I'm still very green after watching your videos lol definitely can learn alot from watching, but it would be also helpful to see you do the work sometimes! Keep up the good work 👍
You can tell this guy has mastered his craft. 1 yr apprentice striving to reach your level of mastery.
Don’t get mad Josh. Forget these guys that are reporting you. I love your videos man thanks for all the information.
Your the only guy i know making vids with gloves and glasses, in fact i dont know any that do my self included. Cant believe you have make an exclaimer about it
Will you be able to get a final inspection before the panel is changed and the arc fault breakers are installed?
This is incredible. Love these videos! Also people will always hate no matter what😂 square d and Siemens are great
Very impressive young man. Even though you said it is mostly for those who speak the language. I myself who is in remodeling. Not a electrician I got a lot out of that. Thank you.
The trip curve on the main may well be different than the branch...especially the instantaneous trip. Just because a branch is a lower value, it doesn't mean it is the most sensitive in terms of short current. To trip a 200A(or whatever) main and not trip the 20A branch breaker is not unusual and not unexpected.
Another excellent review Josh. It's a shame that you have to know your audience like that. I have been learning " home " wiring since I was a toddler and it amazes me why half the developed world hadn't burned to the ground caused by substandard residential electrical service. I'm talking 8 circuit 60 amp. fused load panels here. I'm here to follow your dalliance into the 2020 NEC revision. Along the way you are a competent knowledgeable educator. You won't catch me rattin' U out ! Cheers.
You are always thorough and explain your jobs very well. F all them negative ass haters and snitches out there . Please continue putting these videos out Because I learn so much.
good job Josh
This is kinda off topic to the video but I gotta ask. Where is the strangest place you’ve ever seen a sub panel? For me it was an FPE panel in a lower kitchen cabinet directly under the cooktop. I removed that panel and consolidated it with a different panel that was in a linen closet with a new panel in the hallway. Homeowner told me that a circuit had tripped in that panel and it took him months to find it.
Disposal ,fridge , 2 GFI outlets , microwave ,all need own 20 amp circuit ? I have a GE slim in a small rental .
when you Drive your two ground rods, what is your maximum allowed resistance to ground ? over here in the UK, we have to be below 200 ohm. it can be hard to achieve sometimes if the soil conditions are poor.

You can have only one rod if you can prove less than 25 ohms resistance on it, otherwise you must have two and the ohms are not tested- they just have to be 8 feet each and at least 6 feet apart with 6 gauge wire.
I know every state is different! But why is the box outside? I believe in Virginia all residential must be located inside.
I didn’t catch the answer. I too have a dishwasher tied in with two bathrooms, bedrooms on the opposite side and some garage lighting. Since last storm, I lost one breaker and the associated main and due to age I swapped them out first with no issues and replaced all the 15a (subs). There has since been flickering all over the house, a week later I tripped a new different breaker but not the main. The breaker didn’t even show tripped. It’s a 1956 house, all Romex with ground, Square D shunted(?) panel - I have a few mains, with sub breakers in same panel.
Hi joshua, could you ask your SEO guy if he can improve your audio so i can hear you as a podcast while im driving. You do an incredible job, we tahnk you!!
Builders take short cuts in new builds too. My mon bought a brand new house in the 90’s. Every time the a/c kicked on, it would cause my computer to restart itself. Pretty sure that should be a non issue in any modern home.
Are outdoor main panels common in CO??
Lots of work for just a quickie remodel, but you are a man with a plan! Gotta ask how you get through an inspection now without the room for arc-fault breakers? Not clear on the code. Are they only required after a new service is installed? BTW, the only fault I find with your videos is the audio. You really need a mic clipped to your collar so the sound is more consistent. (yes, they are some made to work with a cell phone cam)
Love your videos. Consider using a lapel microphone so we dont lose your voice when you turn away from the camera.
Great information but I’m trying to figure out my whole house light flickers

Did you figure it out??
Were the lights blinking consistently all the time or randomly and sporadically like mine? 😓
This video you got reported on, was it the one you was wearing the black bomber jacket?
Dude how u charged for finding a hard shorth ..I am a electrician.
I like Siemens and Eaton breakers
My understanding is if you have 6” or more counter top over hang not 6” max
Joshua where u at man!!!!!
I took 2 years in trade school for Electrical. I am so glad I switched to Masonry because my Brain Hurts just Listening to your knowledge and Wisdom. I Love electric everything except cars. After all that Schooling I became a Truck driver for over 45 years and 5 million miles Pro experience. You just never know where God will put your talents to the best use. From a little Boy I always wanted to be a Fighter Piolet. Now at a retired Person. I am so glad I didn't electrocute myself! That you Lord Jesus you can see ahead of us . And for this young man. Amen!
Hey would you know how to surge protect an entire circuit?
That house still has the old school meter, I guess the power company hadn't swapped it out for the spy meter.
Jashua miss your videos
