We're Getting Ready For Your Tiny Home

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
While Romex works great for interior residential work, metallic structures often require metallic boxes and cabling. As we outfit the Off-Grid warehouse behind the new HQ we’ll show you how to select and prepare the right materials, run MC cable, ground everything properly, & accomplish all of your power needs. If you’ve got a shop, garage, or other metallic structure that needs a more commercial finish, we hope this video shows you what you need to see from main panel, to sub-panel, to receptacle.

For Jefferson Electric’s Off-Grid needs, our circuitry will be overpowered in order to increase mobility, modularity, and power in day-to-day operations. Feel free to scale down to your needs if you are in a smaller and/or DIY space.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
