I am planning on installing some power in a detached shed very soon. This will be for lights, and a few outlets to run some tools, and maybe some landscape related things later. Point is, I have a 8'x15' shed on a slab (no ufer, sorry), and the shed is anchor bolted down. I have 3/4" EMT...

I wanted to ask the question to the forum here, as some of you have decent sized gensets for your homes. Part of my new build, I have a generator circuit (and lockout) installed in my main panel. I would like to get a 7.5kW -10kW generator to run the house in any extended power loss situation...

Sorry for the brag post, but I have been super happy with the work my electricians have been doing on the new place and wanted to share. Sorry about the potato quality photos, but it was evening when I went to go look. 100A sub panel for the kitchen / laundry. (they even ran 8awg for my 30A...

I'm trying to figure the best way to prepare for this. I have 3/4 EMT ran from my garage through the sub floor / crawlspace and will be poking it out of the wall near the rear of the house in prep for installing a shed later. The walls are still being constructed, so I wanted to get the...

Just got word from the utility, they installed my meter and power is flowing! I ran by the store last night and picked up four spools of 12AWG thhn for most all of my garage needs. Got the usual colors, red, black, white, green. Not going to deal with 10 or 8ga until I know for a fact where I...

I pulled the cover from the old panel, and decided it to be best if I shut off power completely... PG&E is out today to disconnect the overhead feed. And yes, the flex 1.5" conduit was lock-nutted to the lip of the 2.5" hub opening... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am slowly getting my wall ready to run the conduit and boxes for a 200a service upgrade. I am placing the meter socket at 66" (meter center) in the wooden box (with access door on the outside), and the 200a service disconnect just to the right. (in the picture). I am going to run 3x 2/0...

As stated in another post, I have a decent project coming up. I have resolved to run two 5/8" 8ft rods 8 feet apart. I know I need to use #4 copper between the rods and up to my main disconnect right off of the meter. Also #4 copper from that disconnect to the main panel down 20' of...

I have a nice big project ahead of me. I figured I would do all of my upgrades while the opportunity is available to me. So, what did I do, I ordered the biggest 200A panel I could find for the house. A nice Siemens P4080B1200ACU 40 space, 80 circuit, copper bus monster. The downside? the...
