Its always great to see how someone else does there work, we all learn from others weather we feel what they do is right/wrong. Great tutorial- no one is without fault, dont listen to the naysayers!

Great vid Joe! Never really believed in service loops either. Glad to see you agree!

Is that a 200 amp disconnect after the meter socket and does it count for the new exterior emergency shutoff code?

[@SolarGuyInMaine]

The “leave you mess” part killed me! 😂 Do you ever install azek for mounting enclosures on the exterior? Also, service loops are use now becoming helpful for solar. We do a lot of taps, and the extra slack is nice to have.

You did not use any nolox on those aluminum conductors

[@token2474]

I was just gonna say thst then seen this

[@electricianjoe]

Correct. Aluminum alloy lugs. Aluminum wire. No need

[@vince6829]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@gavynpurdy3102]

How do you ground your electrical system with no ufer or rod electrode in the meter/main?

[@tbonemckone]

Circ saw works on aluminum conductor too. Inspector showed me that trick.

Can you leave the old 100amp panel inside that the house already has and install this outside with the 200amp panel and it still meet code for the "outdoor cutoff" requirement and this count as a 200amp service upgrade so the power company will hook you up? And if you do leave the old 100amp panel inside to basically make it a sub panel does that mean you dont need to change the line from the old 100amp panel to the new 200amp meter/panel/cut off thats outside? If so that will completely change what im doing

[@electricianjoe]

Yes you can do that. Just make sure you install a 100amp breaker in the outside panel to feed the sub panel. Also make sure you have proper grounding.

[@TheDrick28]

Can you have a electric man install a 200 amp panel with breakers outdoors and grounded, and the homeowner install a subpanel later inside?

[@JM-iz3fr]

Did I miss you using antioxidant??

[@stevencoons450]

I have a few questions. 1. Did you seal the hole into the house? 2. Why didn't you put a backer board?

[@norcoauctions]

typical electrician, using wire cutters as a hammer

[@MundiTaurus]

So, you're learning to be an electrician.
