Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video opens with an overview of the project site, highlighting the outdated electrical infrastructure of an old farm house from the 1960s. The electrician (Hendy) and his team, including his father and brother, are present. The existing setup includes multiple disconnects and fuse boxes, which are unsafe and inefficient. The primary goal is to remove all these individual disconnects and replace them with a single 200 Amp main panel and meter/disconnect combo. This initial step involves identifying the existing electrical service equipment and noting its condition.

Goal: Identify the outdated electrical system and plan for a 200 Amp service upgrade.

Henny the Sparky 200 amp service call. Bang. It's not even a triplex. Look how old that is. Hi, how are you? This is the room with all the disconnects I saw. All right, guys. So, we just got to the customer's house. Look how many disconnects you see. All right, so she lives on a farm from the 1960s. And as you can see, you can just tell by this equipment that this needed to be replaced. All these disconnects can be replaced with a circuit breaker. So instead, she wanted a one huge 200 amp panel, you know, for all these disconnects. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to remove all these disconnects and we're going to install a 200 amp panel for breakers for all the disconnects. Absolutely. Got it. Yeah. And then these are just small individual disconnects. Right. So this one looks off. Here's a a UF cable. Huge place. And it's got a fuse box up there.
