I feel as though I can trust this information. That means a lot. Semper Fi

Thank you so much for this video. I'm doing a travel trailer remodel into a tiny home and we are ditching the distro panel for a breaker box so we can run more power into the unit and have full size appliances. This gives me the confidence to take the project on!!!
-
Great video! I like how instead of you telling us what you think is correct, you have the professionals who KNOW what is correct doing the instruction! Time to go check out some of your other videos now!

Best subpanel installation video I have seen! Thanks for all the amplifying information and shopping list. Most people at the big box stores do not provide the information.
-
This is an impressive video. Very organized and thorough and well thought out. I really like that, instead of just adding the usual "I'm not an electrician" disclaimer you actually brought a professional electrician in to do parts of the video. It's also very well filmed.

I learned alot watching this guy do his work. He obviously has done this before. Thanks for making this.

Great video. I added a line to a QO 100amp sub box to power a GFCI and a security light and the first thing I did wrong was I got the wrong breaker. After getting the proper QO circuit breaker I was stumpped on how to wire it correctly. I was going to make the same mistake as this video. But I decided to look for a video explaining how to wire a the circuit breaker to the sub box. After looking for a half day on YouTube and Google. I found your video And it is the most extensive of all the videos on YouTube. Tomorrow I will be finishing the circuit breaker install. Thank you

Thank you for consolidating all of this information into a very professionally made video. I will have to be doing this installation soon, and this reference seems to be a good trustworthy one-stop-shop. As a courtesy for your efforts, I've also liked, subscribed, and clicked the bell for your channel. Thank you

55 years in the trade as a State Licensed Journeyman Electrician / Sub Contractor and the only time that I have ever used Aluminum Wiring was for a underground feeder from the Outside 120/240 VAC 200 Amp Meter base on a Power pole to a Main Panel ! And that was a USE Triplex Direct Burial cable approved by the Power Company and AHJ . I sleeved it in 2 '' Schedule 80 PVC Conduit buried 24 '' below grade for a 50' run .
