Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
We’re back on site! We teased out our first meandering journey into the billboard game () and y’all ate it up. So we made sure to film as much as we could (sorry, our cameraman had to stay on ground level) to share how it’s going.
So how’s it going? Magnificent. With the exception of the additional cost of a lift, this job is not so different from an EV charger installation. Billboard #1 was a success, and Jefferson Electric will definitely be pursuing more!
Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

“Do I need to protect my house’s electrical system from malfunctioning consumer devices or overload from the utility company?”

Synopsis:
When turning on a light switch in the United States, not only is the resulting illumination a luxury, but the lack of an explosion as well! In this video, Joel shares his experiences in the dreaded building permit and inspection process. Though inefficient and tiresome, building permits and inspections provide certainty and safety to any and all who might find themselves beneath any American roof. Joel has worked with residential and commercial occupancies, started a business in an old storage space (No, not electrical work!), and holds himself to a high standard. If you’re trying to wrap your head around streamlining permits into your workflow, we’ve got 15-years-worth of wins and losses for you.

Synopsis:
Are you starting a lengthy electrical project or career? Electric Pro Academy encourages you to know and love your tools, which is why we’ve made this video based on the TYPES of hand tools you need, not the BRANDS. We will also only focus on the 12 hand tools that we have found to be necessary for most electrical jobs. Find the cost-benefit combination that improves the quality and enjoyment of your work. If you are looking for more detail involving brands, materials, or key features to look for, please comment below and we, or our community of electrical pros, will be happy to respond.

Synopsis:
What do banjos and 60-amp “banjo meters” have in common? They can both bring the house down! It’s not often that doubling the available current in a system makes it safer, but that is definitely the case in this video. This 50-year-old service and interior Pushmatic panel have earned an honorable retirement, servicing a family of 7 for nearly 2 decades (as long as they didn’t run the coffeemaker and microwave at the same time). The new hot tub was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and we’re here to welcome this home to the 200-amp club. While we would not recommend this task for DIYers, given the utility connections, this is a fantastic job for electrical contractors looking for 1 clear, valuable, full-day job.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
You called, we answered: A hot tub installation is one of the most requested videos from our viewers, so we were excited when church friends gave us the green light to film the process at their home. While we will be showing everything step-by-step, we need to stress that our definitive recommendation is that a professional perform this installation because hot tubs 1) have high power draw, 2) are full of WATER which pairs very harmfully with electricity, 3) require mastery of indoor and outdoor electrical and building codes, & 4) are an expensive investment that we do not want to be held responsible for! If you’ve got the tools and the willingness to attempt this behemoth, but would like some “targeted expertise” without hiring out the whole project, Joel Walsman can be contacted directly via video or voice call through this link: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/. Otherwise, we welcome your thoughts on this latest high-power episode at EPRO!

Synopsis:
We’ll be saying a sweet farewell to Tom after this one! When we originally asked Tom the question, “What are the 5 main considerations of someone buying a generator?” he had more thoughts than we could reasonably fit in the video. So… we made it its own video! This is an electrical engineer’s thought process to backup power in 2023.
If you’ve got further questions, we’d be happy to pass them onto Tom (If he doesn’t answer them in the comments before us!).
