What happens here

The first critical step is to disconnect power to the entire house by safely pulling the electrical meter from its socket. The video demonstrates using two hands and a firm grip to carefully remove the meter. The meter is then placed aside in a safe location, such as on the ground, away from the work area.

Goal: De-energize the entire electrical system of the house.
