A more efficient way to wire a room (if you have attic or a crawlspace) just put a junction box up in the center of the room in the attic or under the house then run individual wire from it to each box. This makes it much easier and also saves a lot of wire as opposed to jumping from box to box. As long as youbhave access to the J-box its still code
Thank you for the information I’ve done wiring before, but this house is grandfathered in. It has a hotline running into the center junction box of the room and then six wall plugs ran from the light. I just installed a ceiling fan Sunday and everything was working. Come home today and I’ve got hot at the breaker , hot on the line coming from the breaker but no hot in the room . I’m putting in a new main line and 2nd junction box so everything not all in the same box. . The house is old and still running on an 150amp breaker box
@@BUXTONBOBBY90 No problem at all! I made this video in hopes that it would help somebody to simplify things a bit or create ideas. I know exactly what you’re talking about with all of those wires in one box. I have seen that lots. I messed up big time once and there was a white wire in the junction box with all blacks. I took the white wire out and put the blacks back together. Nothing was working right! Took me about a week to figure out what went wrong. Anyway, never take a white wire out if it’s mixed with the blacks lol unless it wasn’t working in the first place🥇 😂 Thanks for reaching out! Also, that is a good idea and you can do it!
When you say "have to have one every 12' feet," do u mean to be to code, or that that's the usual way? And does it have to start by the door, or can it go reverse and end by the door? Great vid btw
When you’re wiring something yourself in your personal home theoretically you can do it. However you want as long as it’s not dangerous. Meaning yes you could do one every 8 feet or 4 feet or 20 feet or whatever you want to do but for code it’s 12 feet and you can go from either side of the door 12 feet around, or like I said 8 feet or 20 feet or whatever you want to do. You do not need to get permits if you can do it yourself and you feel comfortable with it. As long as you live there for two years or nobody in the world knows but you, I would suggest not telling anybody if you do it yourself. I hope this helps. Let me know if it didn’t I will try again! And thank you I appreciate you reaching out!!
@@robertcook5451 good question, if you buy a house today and want to upgrade it or wire something yourself, that is okay. You can fix your personal house. You’re allowed to fix your personal house as long as you live in it-own it for two years before selling it to another family or person. But if you bought the house today and fixed it yourself today and sell it to somebody before two years and something goes wrong after you sell it, you could get sued. Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
Can anyone tell me if I should get permits and inspection of my work? I've heard mixed things, but if done correctly can they "catch" you when you sell if u didn't get permits.
If you do it yourself and don’t tell anybody who’s to know that you didn’t buy the house that way? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Hopefully this helps. Thanks for reaching out!
No, they are definitely not in series. The continuity of both the hots and the neutrals is maintained at each receptacle by connecting both the incoming and outgoing black (hot) wires to one side of the receptacle and the white (neutral) wires on the other side. The way the wiring is done (from one receptacle to the next sequentially) gives the impression that they're wired in series - but no - they're in parallel.
@davidcoon2946 You’re correct but nobody’s gonna understand that. That hasn’t done it before, this is a simple drawing. You will have to watch my other videos to see in detailed how to do exactly what you’re talking about but yes, the wire goes from the panel to each one all the way around the room. Check out my electrical series playlist you will find demonstrations for all of these things there.
@@georgebennett4722 Yes, but I will say on the outlets you don’t wanna overload them. Be careful of what you’re plugging in those outlets. But yes, you can definitely do that on one wire. If you’re a gamer and do all kinds of stuff on those plugs, you might need three wires for that room. Depending on you, you know like I said, what’s your plugging in. Normal wire room just like a TV and a phone plug-in or a lamp or something like that. Keep in mind if you do overload it, it should trip the breaker and would be fine most likely. Theoretically you could probably put 100 outlets on one wire as long as you were just doing minimum voltage things. We’re not using all of them at the same time with hair dryers lol you know what I mean. Hopefully this helps!
Coudnt all of that be ran off 1 breaker? Or would that be to much power? I am going to add a run and would love to do the electrical on my own thats why im asking?
@@Amadán_dubh I also have more detailed videos on how to do receptacles light switches and lights all inside my electrical playlist also panel box, videos, breaker switches, etc., etc. if you need more help with that
So 3 homeruns from panel to room 1 will power outlets 2 will power candle lights 3 will power the celling fan ? Can it be reduced 2 homeruns with a higher amp or 3 homeruns the must ?
You technically could do all of it on 1 homerun but it’s gonna complicate the process and I would need to make a separate video! You can probably find one somewhere else but basically you would go from the panel to the first outlet and then around to all of the other outlets. From the last outlet to a switch. Then from the switch to the first light, then from that light to the other lights. From the last light to the ceiling fan. The catch 22 is that the ceiling fan would not have a switch. You would have to use the pole chains. Does this make sense?
Is there a reason why you jump from the box and not in the attic? Plan on adding an additonal outlet to my room but jumping at the box and having to feed the wire up seems harder than jumping above the outlet in the attic no?
@@in4naptime If you have a wire in your attic, then yes, you can jump off of it. If it’s just a simple plug or something but if the room is already wired and maxed out, then you will want to run it from the panel box or another wire that’s in another room. AnyWho the diagram here is just to break down how electricity works. I have another video if you wanna see jumping a light from a wire in the ceiling. I also have several other videos that are similar to that one and they are all in my electrical playlist!:)
@@Lalocarranza7979 there is one wire for the receptacles and one wire for the lights. You could also run the entire room off one wire lights and receptacles and ceiling fan. You can really do whatever you want. I’m just making a simple video to show how it works.

You know all that can be run off a 20 amp circuit with one home run. That's even more easier and effective
I’ve given several examples read the comments, brother you will find that in the comments in detail. Thank you.
apprentice here. but what about the neutrals in the circuit. will the lights and receptacles share neutrals back to the panel

you’re taking three breakers for one bedroom? why don’t you just jump the ceiling fan switch off of the receptacle circuit?
