  • that is a very nice looking load center. this is how clean my load center looks. i had to rewire it after a remodel. clean and neat wires makes a load center look better when the panel door is off

  • PS:

    You do mention you are from WA/ID area, but you should mention that homeowners and electricians should check with their local inspectors ...as of the date of this video, Philadelphia was required to use combination* type AFCI's in all rooms other than bathrooms, kitchens and basements (where the assumption is that a circuit would be GFCI protected).

    Just a thought.

    Combination types protect against a series arc -like a nail going through the hot wire only... :)

  • Why don't you mention putting these on older branch circuits like knob & tube? As far as I have heard it is now NEC to protect circuit that are added to or altered -and you have to admit, this makes a LOT of sense for older homes.
