Your a savior man any other combinations you can think of and recaps are great 👍 you explain it better then a teacher .

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much!! Next video is a 3 way switch, this one will take longer to make but it’s the next out. Stay tuned 🙏🏽😊

Much like everyone else, I just wanted something simple, to the point, and explained to me like I'm 4, which you totally did. Excellent video!! Thank you!!

All of those huge diy KZbin channels, no one explained this as well as you man. Stellar job!

I really enjoyed how he takes his time and covers his tracks twice to make sure he is being understood and his work is very neat and safe. Great job!! Thanks for your time.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much for the kind comment! Really means a lot! 🙏🏽😊have a great rest of your day sir 🙏🏽

[@mplscarsales6652]

Yes this is a risky thing and going over work x2 or x3 times until fully understand is great .everyone learns differently I learn hands on and watching.

[@dontdoitdonnell4750]

I have been a Journeyman's Apprentice ( handyman/ maintenance technician) for a long time now and I always had some kind of issue with electrical. You sir are an amazing teacher and I am thankful for finding your video. You now have one more subscriber.

[@johnalonso9060]

I use Wago connectors too but I wrap electrical tape around them as the levers have a little bit of play in them and can come up a little bit when you push them into the jbox. I also wrap a light duty zip tie around the wires connected in each Wago about an 1 1/2" down from the Wago. This takes any stress off the wires where they enter the Wago when they are being pushed into the jbox. Thanks for your videos. You have a great way of explaining things and breaking everything down.

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

Very clear explanation. Out of habit, I always place the line wire on the bottom screw terminal of the switch and the load wire (going to the light) on the top terminal. Easy to remember, because I rationalize that flipping the switch up sends power to the upper terminal and out to the light. In the end, does not matter if these are reversed as you did.

[@FixThisHouse]

That is awesome advice! Thank you for that! 🙏🏽😊

[@antorreon]

So it doesn’t matter if they are place reversed?

[@timwilliams347]

[@patriciarambert9261]

Maybe that's why I followed these instructions and my lights not coming on. I am going to change it

[@DannySantellano-kv9up]

[@petemoss9693]

This the best ever video I had seen to hook up two light switches to two lights from the main power line - you explained it very well .

[@u2sweetestallie]

Almost in tears with joy! This is the best video! You explain like a teacher. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@SAUCE206]

Dude! I just installed a switch for my flood light outside and a dimmer for living room lights because of this video. I was so stressed thinking I was gonna have to call an electrician. Instead I just watched this step by step and it worked perfectly!!!

[@DrMemory70]

This is KZbin at its best! What a great tutorial. Thanks for all the work that went in to putting it together!⚡

[@raymondrozales919]

Real detailed and patiently explained. Can’t go wrong with this setup to do, thank you for this information. Better than others I have seen on utube.

[@charlene5461]

Thank you for sharing! I have replaced all the receptacles, light switches and some light fixtures. Today, I tried to wire 2 light switches from one power source...it didn't work. Wouldn't you know it is the last wiring to be finished. Thank you for the info! Heading back to fix my mistake!! If it means anything....YOU'RE MY HERO FOR THE DAY!! God bless and stay safe!!

[@ogbehadis8347]

Thank you. After I watched your video I was able to wire the first option with no problem. As a matter of fact for my project, it took me more time to collect the material rather than wiring the cables.

[@pusanggala3573]

This is perfect for my project! Planning to add another single pole switch and another lighting fixture to my kitchen. I only have 1 light and single pole. Thanks man! Helped me a lot. Very educational and easy to follow!

[@andrewtalley2207]

This is exactly what I needed. Very well done, and now I have two single pulls, with exterior lighting and interior fan with light on two switches. Amazing job. I appreciate the detailed video 🎉

Very good job you made it easy to follow yr steps my dad was An electrician 40 years he used to do all the schools baggin saves Smith red lobsters Just all the big buildings as a kid I used to go and clean up pick up tools and make good money for a kid but I never picked up on all of it RIP DAD

Thanks for your very thorough explanation much appreciated. You get straight to the point and you’re not wasting time like other people with similar instructions videos. I’m definitely subscribing. Thank you!

[@OhCheez]

Swapped out two separate dimmers to a 2 gang. Those push connectors are great and made it much easier. I tied two snippets of wire and a single strand, and grounded everything outside of the box.

[@bradmcleod6642]

I have very limited experience with wiring and after watching this video several times I was able to get the confidence to do it. It feels good to figure something out. I also saved some money by not hiring someone. Thanks!!

[@JackHappnie]

I've never seen a better professional video , on anything.. On a scale of 1-10 , Ill give you a 10.99, only because the scale doesn't have 11

[@SrellikmaercsehttuodniflliwI]

Excellent teacher!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome demonstration video. I really appreciate you going over things twice. Very helpful and now I feel confident to attach my ground wires to my kids' bathroom lightswitches because that shouldve been done 20 years ago when our house was built. God bless you, kind Sir!

Watched a dozen videos on how to do this and yours was the only one that made sense to me

[@glenlincoln1]

Wow wow wow! OMG thank you! Truly, for me, this is the most excellent, helpful KZbin video I have ever watched. I've been doing a couple easy projects around my house, and now I want to buy and install those ultraslim ceiling LED's, kitchen and front room. I already watched, like, 6 other videos, and only one of those was very helpful, but you take the blue ribbon, it's yours! I bet I learned ten useful informations. I used to be hopelessly confounded by wires and outlets; I considered myself out of my depth. It's like you reached down from a high cliff at the ocean and extended your hand and pulled me up. I'm so happy I can learn this stuff, and I need never be intimidated beneath trying a slightly better challenge. I can do these upgrades, I will do them well, and I will enjoy having accomplished my now realizable dream.

[@jguitarz1]

Just did this with an old junction for a 2 way. My house was built in 1945 and half of it still has the old braid wire though the 2 pole for our living room light and front porch they ran 2 separate wires to a junction instead of like this, things sure have came along since then. Nice tutorial bro!

[@timparr246]

I love how clear your instructions are. It was encouraging for someone who hasn't wired in a while. When I have the circuit breaker on, no matter whether the switch is off or on, the voltage detector still flashes at the hot line at the light fixture. Is that normal? These were new switches rated 15/20. Edit: The power supply feeding this outlet is some type of cheap 2 wire with no ground so I think that's the problem.

[@lagester]

Thank you! This saved me and my buddy an evening of messing around and burning out the breaker. Cheers!

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊

[@kylepalmer1186]

Thank you so much. I had 2 switches in the same box and I needed to separate them. This helped immensely!!

I have not grasped the concept of wiring yet, but this video will help me out. I am so grateful for you because I know it takes time to be an electrician, not only that to make an outstanding youtube video itself isn't easy. I am sub, and I loved the video. Great job💯
