How To Fix Low Basement Wires

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
The basement: That cold, dark land of low ceilings, random protrusions, & misfit wires & pipes. If you’re tired of dodging dusty headhunters as you check on your water heater once a year, there’s a few solutions, but only one that is electrically safe and sound according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). In this video, Joel corrects some poorly secured wire in an Indianapolis home from the 1900s without pulling any new wire and with just a few standard electrical tools. Low ceilings are unpleasant, here’s how a master electrician keeps them from dangling any lower!

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