Love how you explained everything and don't give off that vibe of "people are dumb". You did an excellent video tutorial. Thanks!

Great video. I love when creators not only explain how to do something, but explain the why.

Really liked how you explain things…not as if we’re stupid, but as being informative! Great detailed yet simple explanation with, of greater benefit, demonstration!! A+!

We’re looking at buying an older house and I will have to install a whole bunch of these so I found this video to the point and helpful. You explained it well but also simply so thank you!

Thanks. Also, for explaining how to determine which hot wire is load. I know that’s obvious to a lot of folks and might not seem worth mentioning.

You're quite the magician! Talk about an ungrounded outlet and demonstrate the switch with a grounded one ??

I liked the idea of putting the outlet in "upside" down, with the ground hole above. It makes insertion of the plug much easer.

Our outdoor kitchen, they didn’t put gfci receptacles in, just regular. Could I do this on each of those receptacles?

Here in Florida with all the lightning strikes every summer all of my outside GFCI outlets get fried from the surges, neighbors and friends in the community have all told me they have the same problems.

Great videos. Got a question.
I bought a foreclosure house. My back bedroom has electric current Flowing through my metal window frame when I run my window ac unit in the summer. Also with my ceiling fan, Electric current is present through the pull chain.
No grounding is present in the room.
Where do I start, what's the fix?

Do you have any videos on removing old wiring that is staple to the frame inside of wall so you can run new wiring?

If i test the gcfi outlet it trips the breaker which is a GFCI breaker. Is that normal? I don't know why a gfci outlet plus breaker are together, seems a bit overkill to me but I didn't wire the house so idk.

0:04 I got a gfci in the garage in back of that gfci outside is a old outlet do i need to install a gfci or the one inside protects that outside old outlet?

My house was built in 1988 and the outlet in my bathroom is ground fault protected at the circuit breaker panel. So, is this gfi outlet really necessary ?
