Power for the Future: A new 200 AMP Electrical Service Upgrade

[@landonborder9704]

Hey Ron, just wanted to give you a huge thanks for making these videos. You’ve been a big inspiration. I’m 23 years old here in Northern Ohio and just got my master/ electrical contracting license and been in business about 11 months as a Generac dealer. I’ve personally never met anyone in the electrical field over the years who wanted to teach me anything or help in any way so I definitely learned as I went . But finding your KZbin channel was a blessing. You’re doing a great thing by passing your knowledge down to the younger generation and teaching all the tricks to the trade. Thank you! Always looking forward to the next video. Great work like always. Stay safe. 👍

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Landon, thank you for kind words. I’m in training now to become an instructor with the IEC. I have links in the description to Independent Electrical Contractors Association in the description. Always do your best work.

[@Makitafan]

I'm doing my best to learn on my own too. I work electrical maintenance and there is no one else here (the company) with any journeyman/Master experience. I'm doing the apprenticeship program through here and a local college. I'm close to my "needed" hours to sit for the test, and I read a lot. But, having a guiding hand would be welcomed.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@MakitafanTry searching for Mike Holt and I highly recommend buying and studying his books. He has a whole catalog on just about everything electrical.

[@KC-632H]

How many hrs is this job sir

[@Gruntled2001]

Love your idea of dating the work and putting the weather. Will give the next guy something to smile about 50-60 years from now.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You’re not kidding. A lot of the old meters I pull have dates on them. 1964, 67, 75, etc.

[@TheTubejunky]

The fact you use emery cloth to clean the corrosion from the water lines is a respected method. I can't tell you how many times I see those clamps on old dirty pipes. Some guys just like the wall of shame in the office lol. Great work again .

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It's required by the NEC.

[@YaksAttack]

As a young electrician, I was sent out to do a service by myself, and it was easy, except when I went to pull the meter, I slipped and dropped the meter, shattering the glass. The mechanical portion of the meter was alright, and PSEG never came out by the end of the day so I took a plastic bag and taped it around the meter and put on my thick leather gloves and sent it home. It worked for a while like that, because I kept driving by the house every few days, worried I'd drive by a smouldering pile of rubble 😂

[@jonmayer]

That's not a great thing to admit.

[@YaksAttack]

​@@jonmayerEvery lesson's worth learning today, man. Only meter I've ever broke. Haven't dropped one since. I was young and dumb and rushing, and it worked out in the end. PSEG came out and replaced it a few days later.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I hear you. I’ve been there and have broken the glass. I put a contractor garbage bag to keep the rain out of there.

[@ed6837]

All POCOs are different. We had one around here once you pulled the meter with their permission, they told us to just leave it by the meter socket and jump the meter and they estimate the bill and come out with a new meter in a couple of days. In fact, they required you to go to the POCO office before changing the service to pick up a set of meter jumpers and a clear plastic meter cover to keep the water out.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@ed6837I have both of those items on my truck now.

[@doc13067]

Brilliant way to adapt with that hole in the center for the service wires!

[@kierenhudson6331]

The space to the left of the panel is great when doorbell transformers are installed 👍

Great to see the difference between 🇺🇸 and UK 🇬🇧 Wiring - subscribed 👍

[@Gruntled2001]

Ron, first of all, thank you again for your content. I always learn something new from your videos. Just a few observations from where I am (Connecticut). We are on 2020 since October of 2022. The external disconnect is a fine idea in theory, but in reality, it lets kids, trouble makers and just "bad actors" a way to turn off power to the house. The people this was intended for - firemen, etc. - never had trouble cutting the meter ring and pulling the meter when needed. Yes, it's not as safe, for sure, but they do have protective gear for those situations. For the bonding bar (Intersystem bonding termination) - the local low voltage utilities do not bond to it. Their protocols tell them to bond to a strap around the Myers hub on top of the meter. Plus, there are almost no new copper low voltage utilities (coax, etc.) - it's mostly fiber these days, esp. around here. Of course, code is code, and there is no option not to follow it, but just sharing my observations. Thanks again, Ron!

[@TheTubejunky]

Love these videos Ron. You're a hands on teacher and this is how I learned in the field. It takes a certain breed to work alone and you nail it each time.

[@RichardWagenknecht]

This was very cool to see. Going to hire an electrician to upgrade from 100a to 200a and it doesn’t look scary at all.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I assure you that upgrading an electrical service is no easy task. Good luck!

[@RichardWagenknecht]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey didn’t mean to make it sound easy! Just that in the hands of a skilled electrician like yourself it’s nothing to fear as a homeowner.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@RichardWagenknecht Gaining a clients trust begins with showing up on time. After that it’s doing what you say you’re going to do and cleaning up. Not a lot of tradespeople are good at either of those three things.

[@norsk54472]

very nice, thanks - good point on the duct seal

[@cavy95]

The 1968 house I bought 1 year ago, they upgraded the panne to 100amp with a disconnect for the fire department. I was looking at adding a mini-split and one quote said I had to upgrade to 200amp. Need 200amp for an electric car charging also.

[@gregfazenbaker6033]

Hey Ron, just curious.. is that expansion coupling required by code in this particular situation or did you just feel it was necessary? Thanks for your videos...enjoy your content! 👍

[@charlessanders1342]

Simply seen the the breaker box changed to a 200 amp from 100 amp worked fine no need to change anything outside. Also seen houses run central ac/heat on 100amp service for 15 plus yrs no issues.

[@derekbushnell1309]

Great video. The heat is something I can relate too. Living in S W Louisiana heat and humidity is part of life everyday here for most the year. Stay safe and hydrated my friend. Keep on keeping on.

[@TomsLife9]

Ron, you addressed exactly what I was going to ask about the outside disconnect. I'm getting ready to do this upgrade on my house and trying to get my ducks in a row (Hanover Twp. NJ). I gather that I will need the outdoor disconnect if I pursue this in 2024? I'd also like to add a generator hookup at the same time. Instead of an LB to enter the house, could I use a junction box and have the generator hookup lines come in from an additional piece of conduit on the side of the j-box? then I could have the conduit going through my wall come out the back of that j-box. the downside seems to be that, according to my calculations, I'll need a 3" PVC conduit to handle the fill regulations (4/0 4/0 2/0 aluminum SEU for the service and a 3-conductor 6 AWG + ground UF-B for the generator, I'd like 50 A for the generator feed) so I'll need to drill a big beefy hole in the foundation. not a problem for my rotary hammer but I'll need to get a 3.5" hole saw for it

[@blovesq4546]

Hey. Thanks for the info. But I was told, if you upgrade to your service the grounding wire must be green. I just purchased 20ft of the black grounding wire.

[@alexiscordero5639]

Hey Ron I noticed you don't have any merch? Should start thinking on making stickers, Tshirts, key chains I would definitely support. Great work and knowledge Dude

[@Kamawah]

When you cut power at the weather head, what's keeping you from getting shocked? Is it the gloves and the insulated lineman pliers? Great job as always.

[@eddyparker10]

Question. When you upgrade your panel from 100 to 200amps, the service cables have to be replaced as well? Or not?

[@Bob.W.]

Nice. Good to have a bulkhead cellar door right there for access. Thanks.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

That was key on this one.

[@TheRiddler491]

What made you stick to residential Ron? I know a lot of people hate it, and stick to commercial/industrial or they go into a more niche area and focus on a particular thing like motor controls or PLC's. Just curious on what you like about it. I'm pretty tall and do a lot of electrical wiring for an HVAC company as an apprentice alongside my direct boss/license holder. I'm pretty tall, which makes attic work/crawl spaces a pain to deal with. I'm up in New England, so I can usually manage the heat fairly well in the summer, but I don't care for not being able to stand , and navigating my long body around things can be difficult. But the work gets done, and I love the job. Can't say I'll do the thing I am doing now forever, but I love the field and keep up the good work!

[@brandonbenore9421]

Hi Ron! Just found your channel! Awesome job! You earned a subscriber! I do have a question! If upgrading from 100 to 200, do the lines coming from the power pole to the house need upgraded as well? Or is that a case by case basis?

[@Rysdad1]

How do you keep from getting shocked when you touch the power line coming into the box from the pole? I worry if I touch them it'll fry me. Does it only shock if you touch both or something?

[@jjosephbravata]

Why the expansion coupling? None of the pipe is in the ground everything is going through above the foundation, so there won’t be any reason for an expansion?

[@justin8894]

Definitely AMPED to see the follow up.

[@DrRussPhd]

So how much does a service like this cost nowadays? Scotch Plains NJ? Good ol' Rt 22.

[@Makitafan]

great video Ron. Tell me about the expansion coupling. I don't work with PVC often. Why did you choose the location you did? And, if you're strapping the conduit how tight? Does it need to be snug, but loose enough for expansion? Thanks

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

The expansion coupling is required by the NEC, article 352.44. It's required where more than 1/4" of expansion is likely to occur in straight runs between two points where conduit fittings, enclosures, boxes, or cabinets are used. The straps are NOT placed on the expansion coupling so that it can 'adjust' when needed. Good question.

[@kenmoore800]

I was thinking the same question,living in MI I see them used on a underground feed side from underground to the meter base but never saw one used on the entrance side.

[@BearStar1]

In Tx all new contruction, Residential and Commercial and upgrades require a Outside Disconnect between the Meter and the Inside Panel(s)

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Was not required until 9/6/23 here in NJ. We’re on the 2020 NEC.

[@cadentheis]

why do you not use arc fault breakers when doing service upgrades? are they not required when upgrading service?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Not in New Jersey are they required for existing electrical services being upgraded. Like for like here.

[@metalnando]

Hey Ron, enjoying all of your upgrade vids! Have you come across any homes with solar installed that are looking to upgrade from 100 to 200 AMP service? I'm having a rough time trying to find a contractor that knows how to do so.

[@charles-hu8ru]

Hey Ron, I know you mentioned the air duct being in the way of the panel door opening but said it was fine. Is this still not a violation of art.110.26 A(1]/A(3)?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You’re right and if this was a new installation and not “like for like” as the NJ REHAB Code states, this would be a clearance issue. The inspector might not cite this issue though.

[@babarumraisin4863]

Ron, is it possible to move 100A overhead service to a different mast location? It's currently over a hot tub and deck. By "possible", I mean do it ourselves!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Call the Bldg Dept or the utility company. Whoever installed that hot tub isn’t playing with a full deck.

[@kenmoore800]

No arc fault or gfci breakers? I thought they were required for bedrooms and wet locations or is that only for new construction. Just a DIYer here.

[@tonyd3029]

Nice video, Thank you. Can a homeowner do their own service upgrade? Changing meter can, panel and wire to service head?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Yes you can!

[@hugovargas7411]

Question, I am replacing an old 200A panel with a new one but my old doesn’t appear to have a bonding screw anywhere. It does however have a ground electrode rod and ground wire connected to the neutral bar inside the old panel. It is a main panel and the question is do I have to connect the neutral from my meter with the ground wire from the electrode ground? Plus the new panel has a grounding or bonding screw. Can I also connect the bonding screw being a main pane?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

The main bonding jumper always gets installed in the main disconnect. You have to be certain it’s the main disconnect. What you’ve described leads me to believe the MBJ is there, you just haven’t identified it yet.

[@rosaniabrian5960]

Afternoon Ron, Enjoy watching the videos you create. I was curious that you were able upgrade this service without installing a disconnect on the outside of the structure. Is there a clause in the NJ Rehab code that allows this?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

The disconnect requirement went into effect in New Jersey on 9/6/23. This work was done before then.

[@rosaniabrian5960]

Thanks Ron I forgot if the permit has been submitted prior to the new adoption of 2020 NEC code, and there is also a 6 month grace period till the new disconnect rule goes into effect. Have a great day.@@electricianron_New_Jersey

[@bigfish8280]

I thought expansion couplings are only necessary when coming up to a building from underground due to settling Earth or a new structure settling overtime. Is it really necessary or required by code for overhead?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

If the sun is going to beat down on the PVC it will expand. It might not required here but it’s a good design and practice to doing a better job.

Your videos are always high quality and get right to the point and include additional details. I’m curious have you dealt with service upgrades where the new service is trenched in? I am planning to upgrade to 200 amps soon and trenched in services are required in my area due to the wind storms we get.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I do underground services all the time. Most of them are already in place though. Check with your utility provider. They’ll have the standards you’ll need before proceeding.

[@Mconeedles]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey Awesome. Yep already planning that with the utility company to see where the nearest transformer is and how to get the work done. My townhouse has the main service grouped with my neighbors service. It’s weird and the builder ran the service line across the ceilings of our joined garages. It a complete pain. The builder cheaped out on the service wire so now I need a new trenched 2/0 line to upgrade from 100 to 200 amps. Freaking builders I swear. 16 circuit cheap panel also.

[@unds85]

Ron, regarding the bonding of black pipe gas line in a small residential 150 amp service... From the service panel I have # 6 copper bonding wire going to my copper plumbing piping so the water supply is bonded, but as far as the gas line can I use a jumper wire from the copper water supply to go to the black pipe gas line?

In your jurisdiction once you domthe service upgrade, say if you do not pass inspection. Will the inspector make you pull the meter. I always thought the power would be off at the customers house until the final inspection. Just asking because I know every jurisdiction is different. And you will probably have to think back to when was the last time you failed an inspection. For someone like yourself I doubt you fail inspections often.

Hi Ron, love your videos. I have a question- In your experience, is it common that the electric companies oversize the drop cables coming into the house? I am in the planning stages of building a detached workshop and I may need to upgrade my service to, I believe 320 amp is the next step up from my current 200 amp service. I see a lot of videos online where the drop is not changed. This leads me to believe that maybe the electric companies allow for future expansion when running the drop. My house was built in 2005, so the 200 amp service was the original setup- not an upgrade from 100 amp. Thanks
