Day in the life of an Electrician | Residential

[@Morenito716]

As an Electrician in the Airforce and for the Gov, this is so satisfying to watch. Repeatedly watching installs like this never gets old. I like your art work and the results of the installs. Beautifully done man 👊

[@user-ip7dt2rn4e]

Hey just a question, I’m having an amazing career in aviation with AA but I’ve looked into air national guard / reserves to become an electrician if flight school doesn’t permit. Would I become certified and skilled after MOS training? I’m new to this 🙂

[@idowhateverbykorey]

I’m watching this and more for reference to the job so I can get visual understanding of what I want to do and so far it seems exciting

[@sjadev]

You can just tell this dude takes pride in his work and takes time to do a thorough high-quality job.

[@captainkeyes9913]

this is perfect, I can listen to whatever music I like and watch this with context. thanks for posting this

[@johngarza424]

From one sparky to another, good job and keep leveling up man you do damn good clean work my man this trade has given me purpose and value in my life and I'm sure it does for you as well

[@sparky_izzy]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I love the trade! ⚡️

[@waynehenson1094]

Outstanding. Im going on 35 years in the trade and you are on your way. Keep up the good work and videos.

[@sparky_izzy]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@oscarmontes4066]

I watched this video like I don’t do this for a living lol good video bro keep ‘em coming

[@sparky_izzy]

Thanks bro! I’m barely starting out so as time goes by….my videos will get better, stay tuned 🤙🏽⚡️

[@mystummyhurt826]

Facts same lol

[@youcanfindrace]

I watched it because I am trying to take as much knowledge from as many electricians as fast as possible. He reminded me I needed to get the carabiner with bit holders for my veto tp1 as well. Also picked up the volt claw combo pack 🙏🏼👏🏼✊🏼

[@TheInsuranceAndTaxGuy]

Great job!

[@DownToTheFrame]

Industrial Electrical Apprentice here! Love to see some good quality resi work!

[@sparky_izzy]

Thanks brother! More to come!

[@av.5632]

how did you find your company?

[@sparky_izzy]

All you need is to apply at electrical companies & get your electrical apprentice license! It should be easy!

[@Sparky_Vibes]

Great video! I am an Electrician doing some research and starting my own channel. Thanks for all you do for the community.

[@sparky_izzy]

No problem! Dm me on instagram if you have any questions. @sparky_izzy 🤝🏽

[@Sparky_Vibes]

@@sparky_izzy Thank you I really appreciate it

[@gleydsonjunqueira4876]

quality of work, congratulations from Brazil.

[@AngelHernandez-ws3sv]

Flawless ! ⚡️🤙🏽

[@guts1005]

You should do a video explaining on how you guys ran the wires thru the service panel. Thanks for this video btw great job.

[@lit1electric]

Well produced my friend.

[@reparalar-PE]

Um dia ainda vou trabalhar nos EUA com eletricidade ❤

[@amomcarvalho621]

Hi, I'm Brazilian, I'm learning, a lot of your work.

[@ryguy11794]

looks good. one suggestion i would recommend clock receptacles or recessed receptacles for applications such as that fire place in the future. clients pays a bit more so they can push their fire place against the wall and you dont get call backs for them accidentally damaging their cords or receptacles. no call backs for extra work but most clients ive seen have given good reviews and talk up your business which attracts future clients to consider calling for your services over others. seems not worth the time at estimation but giving options and suggestions to clients goes along way and it builds that relationship and trust.

[@darkwolf8180]

Looks awesome i wanna learn something😭

[@Steve_mos8541]

when alone sometimes i use my cheapie amazon $20 endoscope which goes to my phone screen

[@emmanuelalu5663]

On my way to become an electrician this is so inspiring

[@jabaridockery2465]

nice work 💪🏾

[@kobi1043]

Good work Brother!

[@sparky_izzy]

🙏🏽🤙🏽

[@steveurbach3093]

You are pulling 12Ga. Is the breaker for the heater 15A? If not, I think you need a 5-20R because it is a single outlet (location)

[@sparky_izzy]

Good eye! We installed a 15a breaker for the dedicated circuit 5-15R. We ran out of 14awg romex so we had to take the loss & use 12awg romex.

[@i0am0fear0]

def do voice overs man, this video content is great. would love to hear you talking about it

[@sparky_izzy]

Noted! If you turn on subtitles for the video, I provided narration for this specific video in case you are interested 🙏🏽

[@alexrobertson232]

Good on you , nice vid !

[@panelpal111]

Great video 👍👍

[@calebwofford6165]

Power wire feeding that panel looks awfully small. Might be looking at it wrong. Any reason yall added a single gang box for a switch right next to a 2 gang switch box already there and not make it a 3 gang box?

[@UnpopularGameGuy]

Deserves way more views

[@sparky_izzy]

Thanks man! I appreciate the love! 🙏🏽

[@zacharyharry9997]

hey man thinking of getting into electrical work and was wondering where a best way to start

[@sparky_izzy]

Are you in the USA?

[@anthony-bg4uy]

Clean work doode. Just curious to why you didn’t go for a 3gang box instead of a single and a double? Keep it up though!

[@sparky_izzy]

Customer request! 👍🏽

[@thetheoryguy5544]

Little tip would be drill a screw in the middle of the piece before you cut that way you will have something to hold to keep the cut out from falling in the wall 😬

[@sparky_izzy]

Never thought of that tbh 😂 I like the subie on your pic! I just sold my bugeye! 😢

[@juliangonzalez5317]

Solid 👍🏼

[@nsmcastillo326]

Can I Install a new main breaker,meter base etc. next to the existing one before cutting service off and removing the old one?

[@sparky_izzy]

Yes, you would just need to make sure it meets code and all new services will need to be inspected by the city and the work needs to be completed by an electrical contractor. A junction box would need to be added where the old panel was so it can be spliced and ran to the new panel.

[@Taylatight-qz4cu]

I'm so impressed by your work. I am thinking about switching careers into this field, though I have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to it. Do you have any advice on how to get my foot in the door?

[@Benderboy35]

Look at pre apprenticeship “helpers” it might be a pay decrease depending on state. $16 an hr in OH. Then apply for an apprenticeship program. This will teach you everything you need to know in a 4 year program. Take the test for the “J-Card” Journeyman/woman Electrician and then you control your destiny from there! That is the longest but the safest and most effective way to get into the industry! If you do an apprenticeship through the IBEW union all classes will be paid!

[@Cintury]

I’m only 35 and definitely use a kneeling pad! Gotta protect yourself from wear and tear. Shalom

[@joshuag4616]

What gauge wire was feeding that inside panel? Looked like 8 or 6 but had ALOT of circuits feeding off it.

[@goodtimesandadventures6690]

Is that number 6 feeding that?

[@colekluthe1138]

How much do you make from a job like this

[@bryanvasquez7363]

wonder how much hourly pay is

[@devintahhahwah]

I gonna get into the trade and I was wondering how is the money side of things to this trade ?

[@sparky_izzy]

It all depends if it’s residential, commercial, industrial. Union or non union. And location … every state has different rates.

[@MD-eo2wy]

Should you avoid this trade if you don’t like heights?

[@sparky_izzy]

Not necessarily. A lot of people are afraid of heights but just like presenting in front of a class … you get used to it over time.

[@SahajSoldier]

So long as I'm the guy on the ground and not in the attic I would thrive

[@compdude551]

What is that handy light?

[@sparky_izzy]

[@mrorganic13]

after a long day of finding the home runs on outlets with there wires stubbed to the box, your length made me jizz a lil.

[@Cristian-em3uk]

So what would be the best route to getting into residential. I looked into the ibew but from what I know the apprentices are put in industrial and commercial job sites.

[@Cristian-em3uk]

And when the apprentices graduate they go on to continue working in those areas. Personally im interested in residential cus from what I know union(ibew) electricians are considered “installers” as in service work is rarely ever done

[@sparky_izzy]

I would look up on google local electrical companies that are open 24/7. Those will be all the companies that due service work. Get your apprentice license online & start applying. You don’t need any college education to start working.

[@unparalleledelectrical]

Nice

[@mrmonique7]

What's the easiest way to be electrician in the U.S.? I'm new here in California and wanna be electrician. Is it possible with 1 year of training to be employed? Is there such training?

[@sparky_izzy]

I’m not from California but I think it’s a union state. Google the local electrical union in your area 👍🏽

[@Theolaurus_Rex]

Yooo Do you make these beats?

[@ncertlectures1269]

Hi brro . It's a good job

[@theclassicpro8797]

Is residential electrician and residential electrical technician the same thing

[@nd2004]

im 19 didn't do that well in school would you recommend this trade :)

[@sparky_izzy]

Yes! I would recommend new construction, commercial work. I see a lot of young guys on those type of job sites and you’ll start off doing simple tasks. When starting off in the trade, it’s a lot of hands on work. Once you get better, you’ll start learning more calculations and troubleshooting. Look up local electrical companies near you that are hiring and apply! All you need is an apprentice license. You can obtain it online for a small fee and they will mail it to you.

[@nd2004]

@@sparky_izzy thanks for the info man hopefully everything works out

[@johnc6343]

Nice video. Narration is better IMO but still good. Prices for the jobs would be cool. Im in PR so watching how u do things in the mainland is interesting. BTW we cant use 14 gauge wire in anything, our lowest allowable gauge is always 12.

[@sparky_izzy]

I’m going to put more time narrating into my next one since that’s what people seem to like! Same here with the 12 gauge wiring! Only 12awg romex allowed in the city limits. This house was located outside the city limits so #14awg I allowed & used on some circuits. Dumb if you ask me but legal 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jarrydee2799]

Why 12 for Gen. lighting?

[@brianaguilar3317]

Whats a level?

[@PMC251]

What's?? 12-2 for lights???

[@athifansari4899]

I am electrician from india,i thinnk this is more easier than our wiring system

[@renep.l.1580]

Your videos are good but you need to say what you are doing and how you do it and all that stuff .

[@sparky_izzy]

Thank you! For this video specifically… if you turn on subtitles, I explained everything. I mentioned it at the beginning 👍🏽

[@nicholasbridgemohan]

@@sparky_izzy hey you can consider doing voice overs. That way you can properly narrate the video without having to while doing the work

[@sparky_izzy]

Yes, if you see all my latest videos … I have switched to voice overs 👍🏽

[@cookieelectric9951]

[@dylanperkins2127]

You know the sparky is a badass when they use a swivel screwdriver.

[@bobsam5982]

No need for 12 awg on lighting especially using led lights...

[@sparky_izzy]

There are local electrical codes in every City that you are not considering. Some require 12awg minimum.

[@jacobnewton2001]

Wouldn’t white wire be cheaper

[@Rahmat-pt8vo]

I am tecnition electric . How i can working at your place .can you bring me to work

With this many breakers, you only use 6 awg wire. Good luck bro

[@배티스]

Hello, your work is impressive! I am working in a vocational high school in South Korea as an English teacher. My students are majoring in Electricity Engineering, and I would like to show this video to my students. Also, I would like to run a major related lesson using your video. Would that be OK? It's only for educational purpose, not for commerical. I would appreciate if you allow me to do that :)

[@sparky_izzy]

Yes!

[@outlet6989]

If I was an electrician, I would never use the name "Sparky" because it might come true. I consider that I'm a DIYer, Third Class. Thanks to videos like yours, I hope to graduate to Second Class. Please keep these videos coming.

[@dathoodieguy7121]

Music was distracting. Rather just have someone explaining.
