Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: It seems to us here at EPRO that the large majority of things with broken parts get replaced in entirety. Why is that?! In our experience, a replacement takes more time than a repair, costs more money, and may not match the aesthetic around it. Cue this video! If you’ve ever had a fixture that you’d like to keep, but some of the electrical components are damaged, it is often easier than you may think to find parts and set them good-as-new. In this instance, the socket in a 1938 crystal light fixture was broken, and given similar fixtures throughout the house, replacing the socket rather than the whole light was definitely the way to go. We’ll break it down step-by-step, share our tools and parts, and help you, whether you’re a homeowner or an electrician, consider the cost of such an operation.

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: For those following along with the development of Jefferson Electric’s new Off-Grid warehouse, we’ve previously wired receptacles and 8’ tube LEDs into the shop such that all that was left to do was pull our main feed. We handed the reins to the apprentices and are now back to verify their quality work. We hope this video answers 2 questions: 1. How much power would I, an average DIY viewer, need in a secondary structure shop/shed? 2. What are the safety and quality considerations that a master electrician knows to look for in such a project? If either of those questions are on your mind, hop on in!

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money. Synopsis: If only life were this simple! While it is not an exaggeration to say that easy electrical jobs can pay very well, there are seasons when complicated installations and service requests rule the day in an electrician’s world. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst is the best way to appreciate the blessings of the trades while also not slipping into the red! In this video, Joel will show you the #1 most common code violation and its (normally…) easy correction. On this particular day, old BX wire is installed in the home instead of modern Romex and the box is a tight-mortared fit. Even still, making a couple hundred bucks in less than 10 minutes ain’t bad!
