By erochow [Affiliate User] 1223694414 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou should check with your local town hall . its my understanding that a homeowner can make repairs to their own home, but that is my opinion, not a legal one.
thanks for watching the Gardenfork! eric.
is changing these beakers out legal for an non licensed person? like me to do? is there any legal confines that i need to know about?

thx for watching, you might want to check out our viewer forum site, which is listed in the video. thx, eric
So the black wire going into the side of the circuit breaker is "street side" hot, and bus bars are "house side"?
Is this correct?
yes, you are totally correct. paranoia is a healthy thing when dealing with electricity. and you need to match the breakers to the panel, i always bring the old breakers to the store to match the old with the new.
By erochow [Affiliate User] 1219282612 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove240 volt main in most us homes will stop your heart fast. your are right to recommend caution! I have to say again, that I love your vids. I am so paranoid that whenever I open a panel, I still probe with a meter to make damn sure i don't get hit with a transient current. good video! under current code, I think you are required to use the same brand breaker as box. but don't quote me on that.
