Thank you!
You taught us a good amount of stuff. Thank you
AND 1!
Hi come no earth sleeving on your earth's?
Very welcome. Bring us more!
Residential electrical work always makes me sleepy. I never really saw your video.
Love seeing someone who takes pride in neat, organized work done according to best practices. Well done!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Hard to find a better video about a panel upgrade than this one. Jersey Strong!
Thank you, Tom!
@@electricalron i can do most work my self only thing is safety switch cause needs hooked up to power line
Only other thing I usually run into is also have to upgrade the meter socket and wire and conduit to the weather head
Agreed. 👍
Hey Ron, I'm an electrician from NYC. I have to say, a job well done. Hope the apprentices are watching? Excellent work!
The best part of this video is not seeing the installation of A.F.I. breakers. Great job.
Takes a long time to make something like this.. thanks. I have almost completed my RUclips Master Electrician Certificate.
I’m sure those exist too! Thanks for the laugh!
Dubbel your credit if you watch it twice. ;)
Wow! That was awesome. Tip top craftsmanship. Im not an electrician, but im a licensed automotive technician. I really enjoyed this video.
thanks for explaining things while you work! I really enjoy watching great clean work!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video Ron! Glad I found your channel.
Very clean installation!
Amazing video, great job, big respect and thank you for putting up such quality content!
OCD rocks :) always pleasure to see techs who really love what they’re doing . Clean and Smooth !
Thank you for the job and for taking us along; I'm moving into a place that might need this.
Your video came up on my suggested videos feed. I was very happy that I clicked and watched it. I know nothing about electrical work as I work in healthcare but I wanted to express my amazement at your attention to detail with your trade. I have so much respect for professionals in the trade fields. You are a master at your craft and attention to detail is to be respected. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
That was a very clean and professional job done! Greate video by the way!
I'm an organizational FREAK when it comes to wiring - old network guy - and I so very much appreciate the clean look to your wiring. Not only does it look better, it makes it so much nicer for the "next guy" to do anything in that panel. I'm no electrician and I would feel 100% safer going into that panel, than what it was before. Great video too, I learned quite a bit.
YEP, I GOT TIRED OF HEARING "THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH" 50 YEARS AGO WHEN I WORKED WITH MY UNCLE. 62 NOW.
Thank you for not embedding background music! Great video. Loved watching this install.
Wow, someone who does cable management, very neat.
Another great install!! Top notch work.
You really helped shed light on panel install thanks!
Outstanding!!! Appreciate the video.
Great job. I love watching people who are really good at their job demonstrate the work they do. Keep doing these!
Thank you very much.
Those Arlington connectors were worth the watch. Ima fourth year apprentice in Mississippi mainly do commercial, but this residential video was very cool and informative. You gained a fan.
Love how you Entertained viewers with Great commentation 👍
Thank you very much!
Thank you for posting this informative video! Wet side representing here. Happy new year and be well.
wow, never seen those arlington connectors. That is going to make things so much easier. I hate trying to stuff wires into metal romex connectors when you don't have much room.. thank you!
Great video! I picked up the Arlington connectors that connect from inside the enclosure. I could have used these many times in the last thirty years.
Watching you work is therapeutic! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you that's a nice compliment!
@@electricalron makes me want to go do stuff! Also I really like the mix of timelapse and voice over. You really share a wealth of information doing that. Great editing. Thank you again, Sir!
Clean install and looks like that wasn't your first time...❤
Please make more!!! It's so easy to learn good practices from a professional. Thank you.
That’s a nice compliment. Thank you!
You lost me when you took off the panel cover, LOL. Great job!
Very professional video. You do a beautiful job of installing a clean squared away panel. It is very rewarding when you love what you do. The Arlington white button connectors are new to me and look like a real time saver.
I do love being an electrician. There's a great freedom of operating your own business and loving what you do for a living.
Well done. Your explanations were spot on and easily understood.
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot and less intimidated when I am working behind the cover.
Thanks for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed this video!
doing this very same upgrade in the morning before the snow/cold hits. I apprecite you taking the time to share this.
Good luck!
Great job on this video! No wasted time during recording! all educational!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Great video Ron keep killing it!! 😮You killed it!!! Good job 👍
Thank you!
very impressive work with a very good explanation. Thank you for taking the time to narrate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent workmanship, it’s great to see this kind of work, real professional. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the instructional class. I learned a lot. Comfortable with the pace, but I still needed to review it several times to get the terms down and the process. I subscibed and am learning a lot. I will upgrade myself. I like your clean work.
One of the greater challenges (especially in 2022-23) is gathering ALL of the materials you'll need for the job.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for residential electricians. Watching you work was most enjoyable. The finished product was excellent. I was an aircraft electrician (spark chaser) for over 30 years. 😉
Wow, thank you!
I just stumbled onto your videos two days ago. I've mainly been watching a couple of other electricians. I've subscribed to your channel, and am very impressed with your knowledge. Please keep these videos coming because they are some of the most interesting and best that I have seen. Thank you!!
That’s very kind of you. Thank you!
Great job on the panel upgrade; great job on the video. This redneck in Georgia appreciates your hard work!
Nice and clean. Great job.
Kudos to you for not flipping the panel upside-down and putting the main breaker on the bottom just to save a bit of wire like the other guy from Indianapolis.
I would have done that IF I wasn’t installing the interlock but either way works and is code compliant.
MY BROTHER N LAW AND I REBUILT MY MOMS SERVICE FROM 60 AMP TO 200 IN ABOUT 30-45 MINUTES. THE HARD PART WAS WE HAD TO DRIVE FROM MEMPHIS TO JACKSON TO GET MOST OF THE PARTS. A GROUP OF BOYS FROM ALABAMA WERE WORING THE LINE AND FREAKED OUT AT WHAT WE DID. I GRABED THE DOWNED SERVICE WEAR MY PPE AND FED IT TO THE PANEL AND HOOKED IT UP. BTW BOTH OF US HAD ABOUT 70+ YEARS AS INSIDEWIREMEN AND ALSO I HAD OUTSIDE WIREMAN EXPERIENCE.
Sheesh...! The years MUST make the difference...
I pay you to do the upgrade. As long as you do it right, you are awesome.
Beautiful job. A true professional!
Thank you very much!
So awesome thank you sir for taking the time to make this video. Really informative and helpful.
Good job . Very professional.
Very Nice, Very Clean. My clients are generally surprised when I finish a new panel and it's as clean as this install. People seem to think a messy panel is the norm. PS, I just sub'ed to your channel too.
Glad you liked the video!
Absolutely beautiful work! Your hired.
Wow, thank you!
Quality install and very educational. Good work Ron. Im in Northville MI and need my 100amp upgrading also. "Get over here"! 😄
It took me 30 years to get this good!
Thanks for the video. Would love to see a breakdown of real world parts and labor prices to compare over time.
Thanks for the idea!
Good job I like your professionalism.
Love those inside clips and I need to get some, Home Depot doesn't have the Arlington's but they carry the Raco 4714
Excellent video. I'm glad to see a Pro do this right & explain why things are done a certain way. I'm glad to see you installed a generator circuit, With a Manual Lockout, with the new panel install. This is the best time to install this.
My business started in 2009. Right after that in 2011 we had this October snowstorm that brought down branches from trees because the trees still had leaf's on them. Then we had hurricane Irene and hurricane Sandy. The combination of those three storms really pushed the standby and portable generators narrative.
@@electricalron Too many people with a camera, showing people how to install a generator to their house "The Wrong way" out there. No Lockout, no Safety, plus people will be trying to do it, the first time ever - in the dark. Trying to do a quick fix, can get people hurt or even killed. Again, it was an Excellent video.
Very nice and clean work!
Obviously I won’t be able to change out my own panel after just watching this video but what it will do is know what is involved when I have it done and have a good understanding of what is involved. Your delivery and pacing of the video are excellent. Well done on the video and thank you👍
I’m glad I could help.
Thank you for taking the time to show us your work. I know how much work goes into making these - I learned a few things 💪🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
My pleasure!
GREAT tutorial! GREAT job! Enjoyed the presentation.
Thank you and thanks for the compliment.
Rrally well done. I'm renting a home with only a 100amp panel and someone added a sub panel next to it. Wayyyy over loaded!! 200amp panel is the way to go!!
Awesome video, wish I could afford to have an upgrade to my house like this .
Maybe one day!
Beautiful Job!
I’ve done two main panels myself, then hired an electrician for one. My work looked just as nice as his, but it was worth every penny to hire him. He had it done in a day and a half (including moving the panel to completely different area of the house). Would have taken me a week.
You got a real nice tool setup
Nicely done!
Great video. I’m getting ready to do a panel upgrade and service entrance upgrade and I want to stub out for a generator and solar panels and possibly add a sub panel. Would love to see a video that includes all that. I also discovered those cable clamps that install from the inside - nice to see I made a good choice.
For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar.
For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.
Fantastic Job!
great work. Nice to see !
Great job; very informative.
This is a great vid of a panel upgrade. I'm building a barn this summer about 150' from the house this spring and need to do a panel upgrade in the house and feed the barn. Thank You.
Thanks for watching the video! Be sure you account for voltage drop because with 150' run there's sure to be voltage drop. To account for this, you'll need to run larger conductors than normal.
@@electricalron Thanks Ron. I plan on having my master electrician spec everything out for me so I know it's safe and right.
Very nice, neat job!
Nice clean work! Looks great
Thank you! Cheers!
beautifully done nice neat and workman like manner
Thank you for the great video
Was most interested in the cutoff for the generator. Lol. But great stuff watching the rest of the install.
Excellent Video, .... Thank You
Amazing... Great effort ..!! Informative equally for expert electricians and house owners like me. I need to upgrade my panel and got all answers, I wish you can help me.
Great video. Looks great
very clean install. Great job, congrats.
Glad you like it!
Sir i wish you lived in my area!
You are a master, a great teacher and videographer. For those reasons I liked and subscribed. Thank you for the laborious work putting a video like this together, don't this it's not appreciated!!
Merry Christmas!! I’m happy you liked the video!
Ohhh.....and Merry Christmas to you too!!
Not a electrician but that is awesome work very clean.
Thank you very much.
🎉 great job and video! No non-sense…. To the point!! Thank you Ron…. New Sub!
Glad I could help.
Really nice work. Thank you for taking the time to share.
My pleasure!
Glad you liked it!
Nice job thank you for this video
Really nice and informative video. Thank you.

Great channel man. I’m new subscriber. And I’m showing other ppl I work with to subscribe 👍
I love it, great work..
This man is awesome and so Profesional
Thank you Lisa!
Great Job!
that's quality work!
my personal preference is copper multistranded, though.
that is because i;ve dealt withe 3-phase industrial.
i am subscribing to your channel.
thanks for the video.
Thanks for making this
Phenomenal vid 🤙🤙, Thanks!
Very nice work.
Great Video. I'm going to upgrade my 150 to 200. The only issue is 10 hours to you is more like 3 days to me. Thanks for the in-site
For me like A week or two with just a Sub panel 😂
Did this exact upgrade last year. Cheaper than a transfer switch and just as good. Only have a 3,000 watt Honda so I can only energize one leg but that’s good enough for the essentials in a pinch.
Sure I’ve seen those too. The breakers have to be strategically installed.
@@electricalron it’s a little annoying certain circuits have a few appliance combinations that don’t make a lick of sense but I’m sure I could straighten that out if I pulled the panel apart again but I can live with it.
Fantastic informative video sir thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice tidy job.
great job thanks for sharing
Great Video!
