In this video you’ll see how numerous code violations are disconnected, removed, and rewired making a safer electrical system in this home in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Using flexible cords in place of permanent approved wiring is a blatant NEC violation and unsafe condition that could cause a fire. This is the first in a series of videos showing how these conditions are improved by a licensed electrical contractor.

It;'s not a bad to hire an electrician to do a quick review and suggest what should be upgraded. I had a customer once move to Massachusettes and call me to ask about a few things at the house he bought.

A few years ago at a continuing education class a few years ago the instructor told us it was never legal to run type NM cable ( yea Romex ) to an outdoor box even thru the back of a bell box lime you did. This cable is not approved for damp or wet locations. Told us to run UF cable. Hope no inspectors looks inside of the two quality Killark aluminum FS boxes that I installed on my outside walls over 45 years ago. A POS flimsy bell box would never remain dry all of them years. Hope the homeowners had a lot of fire insurance , sprinkler system and smoke/CO2 detectors before you showed up. Nice that you went the extra effort using g a deeper 4" junction box ( 1900 box ). Great set up & best in class paint job on your van.

Nice video! At 13:00 in the video, I am surprised that you didn't use "grey duct seal" instead of a white sealant/chalk to seal the hole in the brick wall. Why? Also, according to the NEC, don't they now require a "bubble" cover on outdoor outlets so an electrical plug can be inserted into the outdoor outlet and rain and snow don't get into the electrical circuit?

Great video, as an Industrial journeyman electrician in a factory, my residential experience is limited to what I've done in my own home. I love how you take time to explain things. One question I have on this video, when you're running the wire to the outdoor gfci, is that older white shielded 12/2? I was expecting to see yellow.
@hugovargas7411

I’ve seen 12-2 that is white shielded my house was built in the mid 60s so I imagine they used it back in the day.
@davidmarquardt9034
@davidmarquardt9034 Месяц назад
@@hugovargas7411 I've seen NM cable that had grey or black, but mostly white plastic outer sheath, depending on the manufacturer and the year. Of course the NEC requires they all be marked with indelible ink or be stamped with the gauge size and number of conductors. It wasn't until about 2002, I believe, that they started color-coding. White is 14ga, yellow 12ga, orange 10ga, and blue 8ga.

I usually do use duct seal but I must've been out of it on this day. Around here when inspectors see it used outdoors they want to see the listing on the package to be sure it says FOR OUTDOOR USE. The stuff they sell at Home Depot is GB brand and is not rated for outdoor use.

Did you call the utility company to turn off the power to the house? How about any grounding rods to install on the side of the garage at 6ft down and 8ft apart with grounding wire to each rod and connecting to the panel box? You didn't show us so, I just thought I would mention it. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it very much.

I haven't started the service upgrade yet but that'll get done when I do. As for calling the power company for a shutdown, here I do not have to do that. I cut it out myself at the start of the day and cut in after the new service is installed.

Ron, I am installing an exterior outlet (and box). Would you recommend a watertight strain relief or the romex clamp used in your video? What should the hole size be (through the house, cement board siding)Flex duct or exterior caulking?
@electricianron_New_Jersey
@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад
Make the hole just large enough to fit the connector. Then continue hole with a 1/2” paddle bit. Plug it with duct seal and use silicone (not caulk) to seal it up. Silicone resists water.

It's incredible what people will do when it comes to wiring not realizing how or have no clue that they are creating a future/present dangerous fire or life threatening hazard ! Question, when you made that connection in that 4 × 4 junction box, is it required to have a equipment ground supplied directly to the box itself ?
@electricianron_New_Jersey
@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад
Yes, the code says anything that can become energized shall be bonded to the equipment grounding conductor.

What a mess!!! Reminds me of my mother in laws place. Every visit to her place out of state was, ‘how many things can I fix before we have to leave.’ Kept me busy. Only recommendation would be a bead of caulking on the all weather box, but with a hole at the bottom. Driving rain will probably infiltrate the back connector.

That house is definitely in rough shape with the wiring. Possibly at one time occupied by a low income family that tool whatever shortcuts were needed to save every penny they could while still remaining functional?? I get it, with inflation at levels many folks have never seen in their lifetime and salaries not always keeping up, many family budgets are being stretched to the breaking point, but when it comes to electricity, that's not the place you should be cheaping out on.

I think DIY’ers struggled to learn how to do good wiring. RU-vid was invented in April of 2005. Before that, you struggled to find info on how to do any repair. Remember those Time Life Book series ? How to fix your home, I remember trying to find electrical code and how to look things up. It was difficult. I also think homeowners are probably embarrassed to call a pro to fix their messups.
