How To Wire A Sub Panel - VERY DETAILED INSTALLATION! Start To Finish

This is the first video that I've viewed by this gentleman, and I must say my God what an incredible presentation! His work is top shelf to say the least but it's his presentation that even impressed me more. So many videos on YouTube are fine but there are often lapses in the presenter's dialog in what's being done. There sure wasn't that problem here. Every step was explained clearly with nothing to question. This is the type of guy that you would want to have work done for you....a true Craftsman.

I can't thank you enough for this video. As it's getting harder and harder to find an electrician to even return a phone call, this helps us DIYers immensely. Very well done!

49:00 After watching this entire video, you helped me to be 100% clear that I will not be doing DIY electrical work!

Great descriptive video. I always love that you explain about checking your local codes. By us, you cannot have a extra piece of pipe for a future run unless you have a pull string in it from point A to B. Using the paste for preventative corrosion is always a must as well. Good habit to do for sure. I've replaced panels that did not have it and had issues with bad connection and not able to fix it. We have to torque the main lugs on the panels as well. I will say I always loved having stranded wire jobs to have the ability to make it easier running through pipe. Our first house I had 2" from the road to the house which made it super easy to pull the wires through easily. Just like when you pulled yours. Why struggle for the little bit of cost of the bigger pipe. Of course the code is important to what size wire used. The height is important as well and making sure the correct size wire to feed the sub panel and that your main panel can handle it. I always loved doing the panel work especially upgrading one for safety reasons. A clean panel, done right is great especially when the inspector sees it. Thank you again for such a great video step by step. 🔨🔨👍🏻👍🏻

For not being an electrician, you are the best and showing every detail with great explanation! Thanks for the vids!

FYI - If anyone hasn't suggested yet, I have one for you. I found when I was pounding my Ground Rods in, that if you take an empty pop bottle, fill it up with water and trickle the water down the pole as you pound it in and it makes it go a bit easier. Although, mine were Corrugated Copper Rods. It still made a difference. Love Your Show!

Can’t believe I just sat through that whole video. I have a new found sense of confidence in my shade tree electrical skills. Many thanks.

I am less than the beginner phase in my electrical education. I did a lot of reading and read a lot of reviews before I bought my subpanel and I'm very proud of myself that I thought I bought the exact same one. So I went down and clicked on the link hoping it would say so. And it did. $78.63 Is what I paid for this exact same panel in August of 2019. Before all the crazy stuff happened it's still in the box. And I'm still regrouping from the changes we all went through with employment due to covid-19 and travel restrictions and so forth. I am beyond reassured to have your video as a resource. My lucky day

Excellent job. Thanks for basic things like showing how to put blue boxes on walls and other details most others skip. You really hit a home run assuming the watcher knows very little about this stuff. That is why I’m watching. I learned a lot of “ assumed basics” others forgot to cover. Great work,

Your channel popped up after watching another panel wire video that was 9 minutes long and here I am watching yours for just about 48 minutes and liked it. Good explanation very professional.

After looking at my code requirements and then watching your video instruction it all makes sense now. 👍. Thanks for all the small details!

Just wanted to let you know you're killing it man! Love watching your stuff. You really break things down to the nitty gritty which is just lacking in the expert world. Gave me the confidence to wire up my own garage once it's finished! Thanks :)

What a great video. One of the best I have ever seen on YouTube. Step by step and very well illustrated. GOD Bless you.

Now lets do a do it yourself solar system..I did one on my garage. Its awesome to be off the grid on the garage ..You will also have backup electric for when the power goes out.. You are a great instructor.

I luv the step by step instructions and transparency very good instructor!

You are a great presenter. I enjoyed the whole install and saved it to my bookmarks. Thanks.

An outstanding 'how to' video, which could easily be used by vocational schools for training residential electricians,

Outstanding video! Thanks so much for taking the time to do a complete project! Very helpful!

Gread job ! I used a 50 AMP double plole in my sub panle which feeds off from a 50 amp in the main. Both hots leading to it instead of the main lugs, allowing it to be shut off for work purposes. I then installed my Grd. to the grd bar and neutral to the neutral bar. Next my 12-2's were ran with hot to the circut breaker, Grd. to the Grd. bar and neutral/ common to the neutral / common bar.

Great teacher! Thank you for your expertise and detailed explanation without any drama! ❤
