Never Hire A Handyman For This!

😂 contractors do work just as badly. Just check out the new home inspections.

I still disagree with "Need a Contractor"
Yes, you need a individual who knows what there doing, but just saying a Contractor is it doesn't fly, I've witnessed the so called "Contractor" do jobs worse then a
"DIY person".

I love watching these electrician vids😂😂😂😂... half don't have a clue, the other half are trying to show how smart they are.

I'm a fixit guy these days who unclusterfks a lot of stuff done by lic. electricians. But then I also have a EE degree and a lot of experience working in industrial environments.
I also have 2 pro supply shops to go to for getting the proper parts. Being semi retired, I work for a lot of older folks and charge them a low rate in honor of my mom who taught me ethics.

I have seen work from a Master Electrician whose work was worse than this video demonstrates. Fortunately, he lost his license. Unfortunately, my friend had water ingress from his crappy work and had to hire somebody to fix all of the problems the electrician created.

I didn’t know that TEMU did electrical work.

[sambaird]

You don't need a contractor you just need someone that knows what they're doing

Spend $100k on a car and then hire a banjo-playing "electrician" for the charger install, smh

[tomsreviews]

I found it best not to trash the guy that was there before me.
When I came across something horrible like that, it was usually done by the homeowner that hired me to fix it. They almost always blamed it on someone else.

I see this kind of stuff a lot as in the marine field. Just found residential 10/3 in a yacht panel that has 2 shore power inlets. One 30amp and one 50amp. Someone installed a washer dryer and hooked the orange 10/3 to the main breakers directly and crimped the solid 10guage to have the eyelet terminate to the screw. The crimp was loose, caused heat and a failed connection when the dryer and 2 marine ac's were pulling on the 30amp side. So dryer uses 30amp wire for 220v. That means two hots a ground and neutral. Most boats dont have a 220v breaker. So they put one on the 30amp main. One on the 50amp main. There was no overload protection on that 50amp. Putting 30amp 10g wire on a 50amp main is asking for trouble. Your also not supposed to put it on the main but there was no 220v breakers as shore 1 and 2 were seperate. Also the orange residential 10/3 is not allowed for marine applications. You only uses stranded marine grade wire preferably tinned and every termination gets eyelets. Never crimp solid wire and never wrap wire around a terminal screw on a boat. Never use wire nuts on a boat. Solid wire fails when exposed to movement fatigue on a moving boat over time. This burns down marinas.

Most likely it was done by the homeowner and now, they would like it done right, this guy is taking advantage of the situation to say, this is why you need a contractor.

[davewojtowicz]

For your next joke, you should specify "Union contractor/electrician". That will get you double the laughs!!😂

[museinu]

You can hire handyman. Just make sure he's actually handy and not a hack

[javierhernandez]

So, do we need a contractor to get charge more for the same job quality?

[FoolOfATuque]

Yesterday I was installing a soft start on my AC and the electrician or HVAC tech who hooked it up had not twisted the effing wires together right and caused the wire nut to melt. This is basic electrical 101. Just because someone claims to be a professional doesn’t mean they are one…

[jeffscott]

No one ever accused EV owners of being intelligent!🤣

[pixelatedmushroom]

I don't think you're supposed to run bx cable unprotected like that either

[kyote]

Got that red head though, all good if that’s there. No need for the mc connector 😂

[aGjfiebPeksowQpndLhd]

They could have done it right for nearly the same price and prevented a dangerous situation

[hvacexplained]

I took care of a mall for about six years all the HVAC. There was a store being retrofitted, and some fly by night. Contractor was in there, gutting the place. Security told me they ruined three sets of bolt cutters. I asked Security how? They were cutting through 480 V three phase power supply wires live with bolt cutters.
