Amen! When I was 4 years old I liked to watch electricians and wanted to grow up to be one. After a long and varied career I ended up being a computational linguist and avid electronics hobbyist (author of dozens of magazine articles) but I still leave the house wiring to people with licenses -- and enjoy watching them do it!

I am not an electrician (unfortunately) but I love watching your videos. Job descriptions coupled with code is absolutely excellent. You are teaching code by working the jobs with us, your viewers. I remember taking my low voltage qualifier class/test, and if I hadn't worked in the space for years prior, and if I didn't play with electronics design/assembly/soldering for fun, I wouldn't understand and especially remember 70% of material. Working through the actual jobs with you kicks ass. Thanks dude.

You're 100% right about trusting your customer and what they're experiencing. It can be very frustrating doing diagnostics when you can't find any faults. I do HVAC and had a customer with heater that was failing to work intermittently. I've done two house calls already and cannot replicate the problem. I'm not calling her a liar and I'm not comfortable spending her money without a clear reason. Guessing can get expensive.

I was working in a movie theater, before all of the seats and everything were installed, so it's just a huge concrete room. And I was strapping MC cable along the wall, 25' off of the floor. The feet on my extension ladder had gotten wet and I didn't realize it, and I went down hard! Broke my knee and my face. I was off work for about two months. So...yeah. Safety is important.

Was short on work so I was helping a couple friends who specialized in exterior painting. Working on a 3 level with a basement patio facing the lake. We borrowed an extension ladder from their uncle that had 3 sections. They're running around spray painting because the trim, windows and stuff was done and taped. I got to take a regular brush up the ladder to paint the soffet. Nobody happened to mention the hornets nest around the corner of the house on the side that they'd not done yet. When I reached around the corner to paint what I could get of the fascia the hornets were not amused. I came halfway down the ladder fast then jumped for the lake. Everything was taped and tarp was on the concrete patio so only thing hurt was my pride.

Climbed a ladder in a gym to fix a speaker. Ladder had to clear some shelves and was at a bit of a shallower angle than I'd usually like. The gym had rubber mats on the floor, so good traction there; just to be sure, I grabbed a couple hundred pounds of barbell plates and put 'em at the feet of the ladder. Most stable ladder I've ever climbed!

I've got a bunch of extension ladder stories. I live in Gretna, LA. About 10 minutes south-southwest of New Orleans. After Katrina, we were on Chalmette,LA at River Parish Disposal fixing the pole lights as well as the security cameras. I was up about 25ft installing a new security camera and the master was in this little shed they made into a storage for data switches, security equipment etc.... He was terminating some fiber. I didn't have a safety belt on, my ladder was not tied off and the ground was pretty soft. They had a security fence wrapped around the property and the poles were along this fence which also had razor wire along the top of the fence the entire way around. The fence was 10'-12' high. I was on my 4th or 5th pole and I was trying to position the camera in the direction of the main gate and I leaned over to my right a little too far and the ladder turned on me due to the soft ground. I had to make 3 choices in a split second. Do I just fall and aim for the marsh on the outside of the fence, try and land on the mud inside the fence and hope I don't hit the razor wires or latch on to this fuckin pole and hope I can hang on long enough for Steve to come out the ladder back into position for me so I can climb back down.....

About equipment grounds for HVAC equipment: I did a call a few years back, following up on a HVAC tech who had replaced a blow board twice on the same AHU. Tech reported "weird" voltage. I checked and was getting 90-100v. I looked around the attic and saw RX cable just laying on top of the joists with plywood and other things on top of it. I figured the AHU feed was being crushed. I found a feed from somewhere else to see if i can get the unit fired back up. Ran it over there and went to connect it. When i grounded my new feed, i got hit. I made sure with my apprentice that he didn't connect the new feed and he definitely didn't. I noticed our voltage sticks were going crazy in that attic, basically saying almost everything was hot. I took my meter went from the enclosure of the AHU to the ground from the attic light and i got 107v. Same for the copper line sets. The entire HVAC system was live. All metal parts including the vents and grill covers. Turns out it was powered from some bootleg crawlspace sub panel that had no equipment ground. All of the grounds in the panel were cut short. When we fixed it with a new feeder from the main, 2 circuits shorted out.

Bro, the moment you said you put an extension ladder on a rug I gasped. I've been cleaning windows for over 10 years and the guy that got me into it all those years ago did that exact thing except he was using a sectional ladder. I heard a noise and turn around in time to see him slide down the wall until the sections of the ladder came apart and he hits the ground, it happened really fast. His ankle got caught in one of the rungs and got messed up pretty bad. Your very lucky that move didn't end in a similar fashion. Glad your ok dude. Stay safe.

I worked at minutelube where all the concrete was covered in oil. A roofer did not take that into account when putting up a 20 foot extension ladder. He just barely grabbed the gutter and scrambled onto the roof as the feet of that ladder slid away from him. Be careful of the feet of your ladder. Make sure they are on stable surface. Even grass can be slick enough to slide on.

Thanks for sharing. 25 year master electrician and service calls are still my favorite jobs. Good call on pulling new grounds for the HVAC equipment. Easy work and good payout. On that Zinsco breaker, I’m sure it was the issue, especially since she was losing power in the entire house. curious if you could have checked for voltage drop across the breaker while it was loaded or a quick scan with an IR camera to check for heat (high resistance) to confirm it was the problem?

Hey Dustin I try not to use any of my removable shaft drivers in a live panel, is that something you worry about at all? I've had them stick and pull out then fall down too many times.

Seeing that much exposed metal on the screwdriver is wild from a European view let alone non-latching bits being a concern like that! Have a look at the Wera Kraftform Kompakt VDE interchangeable sets for an example.

I just started watching this channel as an IT professional with an interest in electrical since I find it fascinating, and I understand the catch of trying to diagnose a problem after the fact that you can't or is very difficult to replicate.

I always tie off my extension ladders if there's ANY kind of breeze because of one of the stupid things I did. I was on a service call for a heat pump that was on a second story roof at an appointment complex. It was dark and kind of breezy but I thought it was ok. Anyway, I'm tracing power and a gust of wind comes along and I hear my ladder slide sideways and hit the ground. So I was stuck on the roof feeling stupid until a guy comes along and I holler down to him and he helps me. Ever since, I always tie my ladder off.

"Breaker keeps popping" call yesterday. Kitchen fed off an 8 space ITE panel with no disconnect and none of the breakers actually torqued down. Service calls are a trip.

I have Zinsco breakers. In the 14 years I've lived here, I've had to replace about 6 of them. They NEVER just trip, where I can reset them. They always BREAK and need to be replaced.

Just so you know, the ability to troubleshoot is right up there with the highest level of knowledge for any skill. I do not doubt you have mastered it.

Dustin, I understand if youre not comfortable due to oversharing but it would be really helpful to include rough pricing guidelines to help those that are also trying to find a pricing structure for service calls. For example, would love a rough revenue or profit figure for your day of 3 service calls. Especially for the school.

Usually the state will call out for a separate conductor for equipment grounding

That first service call has me going out there once to make a repair and the highly encourage a complete service upgrade. All of the equipment is old and should be upgraded. Plus the distribution panel is not grounded correctly and causes a hazardous situation known as objectionable current flow.
