I installed a 4000W patio heater and wired 240 Volts! YOU make sure to consult a licensed electrician for all your local codes and regulations!

Ok BOOMers! Just make sure to do this kind of electrician work, consult with your local regulations and licensed specialists before setting your house on fire! I might be missing things here or there in my process... hopefully not!! And see my video at @Mehditation on how I chose the heater: csworld.info/mem/video/hdqapXmO2oh-oos.html
@mareks raibacis It will probably be boring for Medhi because such an installation is an absolute NO in Europe
In Texas that power bill would be your net worth
MY Physics teacher! I saw Chinese people especially like you!
As an electrician I love this channel
Dont do this with live wires.. cut the house power.. cut it.. please!.. but it is rather funny to see this guy risk his life lol
How is he running 100 amps through his alligator clip wires without them burning
7:47. That is what she said 🤣🤣🤣
I lost it when the breaker didn't pop and instead the shower head just bursts into flames.
Bless you bro, you made me laugh a lot today!!!
Hi
I guess indoor use requires less power. But heating your (tiny) house with those will require special cables anyway.
👁 👁 👃 👄
Wonder if it burnt down yet?
I love how he really knows what he's doing but acts like he don't lol
One question , why didn't you put the switch outside I mean if you're outside and you wanna turn on or off the heater you have to go inside to the garage ?
8:12 I really thought that was a chainsaw...
This one got an actual laugh out of me when the small test heater burst into flames
مراقب خودت باش 😂😂
I GOT REALLY SCARED AT THE BOOM THING
isnt your heater going to turn on when ever you use your 240 plug if they are both connected to the switch? wouldn't that cause a bigger load having them both on? why didn't you just use 2 switch's instead.? future video :)
Can you tell me which heater you decided on? I need to install two of these in different locations
حاج آقا چرا از سیم افشان استفاده نمیکنید؟ استانداردی چزیه ؟
5 days later Electroboom: guys guess what my house burned down 😑
also to pay more tax... lol
خخخخخخخخ سلام دایی میتونی فارسی بخونی؟ ایول خیلی باهالی هم وطنی که تو کانادایی خخخخخخخخ
Yu ar smart
3:02 engineers when they round up the safety factor
What surprises me is the number of homeowners that own an oscillating tool for basic stuff like that, vs the number of tradespeople (that have seen how freaking versatile they are) who own them. So few professionals use them and it baffles me. Such a nice little tool
Going to poison yourself with radiation next vide getting radiation treatment
I may not be affluent enough to be your patreon but I sat through 2 wcomplete ads to show my apreciation for your content.
Countries to definitely not work as an electrician in: 1) Canada 2) USA Thank God I'm from Germany
This man is talking about amps like I’m understand itHAHAHAH
How is this man simultaneously the smartest yet dumbest person alive?
" testing testing one two three"😂😂
5:04 Things not to do # 69, nice, yeah, nice electroshock coming
As a certified Electrician i can point out many errors that would not pass inspection. No bushings on the end of your MC cable and not cutting it with a proper MC splitter is the first thing to get called out. Your installation on the heater side actually looks ok (if not missing the bushing); but your electrical box connections were piss poor. That's an illegal connection inside your panel, you needed to have a connector with bushing in the knock out; your wiring in the junction boxes was cut to short, need at least 6" outside the junction boxes. #1 you should have cut a 16" rectangle in the drywall above the panel and ran the wire from the top and than screwed the rectangle panel back into the studs. Yea, what you did will work, but damn that looks like shit. I still love ya though :)
As an electrician, you only broke all of the guidelines we’re supposed to follow. Running mc is fairly easy and at any point the mc is cut, a plastic bushing should be installed so that the connector doesn’t crush the metal sheath and cut through the coating on the wire... also use two “one hole straps” with one screw in between to make it look nicer coming down to your switch!

Now that i think of it why is the reference song that Dankpods use with his six hungeos is in here as background music?
This is actually very satisfying to watch
So far, learning as I watch your videos. Amazing to see you teach us something. Thank you for that and love videos. Very educational and entertaining. 👍👏
Some times breakers take 4 to 5 seconds to pop
It's always comforting to know that an electric shower head can burn underwater.
I realise he lives in Canada, just like me, I plugged in a simple lamp the other day. Shorted my whole house, furnace got turned off, nothing worked for days.... I want his breaker lmao
god i got so uncomfortable with how close you got to the panel while it was live
As a Journeyman Electrician, this video makes me extremely happy. I often have to Google some things you talk about, and somethings just go over my head, but seeing you essentially do my job and struggling a bit was a wonderful feeling. Makes up for you understanding the technical side of things so much more than I do. Plus all the other videos involving you working with power tools... I've lost a bit of my hair and fingernails watching them, but also get a kick from them! Although I do hope most of them are purely comedic, because I'm a little surprised your hands are still intact and not completely scar tissue... I love what you're doing, and am grateful to have you as a resource and entertainment. Thank you, for everything you've been doing through the years. Never got involved in patreon before, but you're a good reason to start. Hell, with what I learn from you, I may just become a better electrician, which might generate a better paycheck, which just means subscribing to you would pay for itself!
hahaha
Hey man, you should put the switch on the outside and perhaps turn it into some kind of control in another video--like a temperature controller or something that can ramp the power up and down.
Bnnnnhnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really wants me and he is just a little bit better and he has no choice and I think I have to go get out of it and then just let me know what I can see and he said yes I will do ddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddddddddddddd on the way to the bank to see if you have a chance I gggggggggggg be there in a little more minutes and I will be back later to use a little bit later in a little while and then I’ll head back home to pick you guys a call later I love it I just got back to you see what if your mom is
Our Outlets Support 230V/16A with 3680W, so the heater would probably be fine, maybe one or two tripping breakers
I think this is the first video where he has not electrocuted himself lol
As a sparky I was scared for you most of the video. I like your research and your original plan for where you would strap your wires though. Stay safe!
Best moment 14:16 😉
WHY is alot of electrical components made out of metal in america ??? Suck as electrical boxes, pipes for cables etc. Like.. thats the one thing you dont want to have close to electricity. That stuff is all made of plastic here in sweden atleast. It just seem, sorry, dumb, to have it made of metal.
The breaker is sober for few years now, that's why he wasn't trippin.
I’m new to the channel, I’d seen some of your videos pop up on my timeline before but this last weekend I probably spent a good 12 hours watching your channel 😂 in summation you’ve got a new subscriber and a big fan 🙏🏾🙏🏾
fcking explosion scare the crap of me the fck
a canadian electrition is a good electrition
This fuse box looks like it was designed in the 1930s or so
I think Electroboom's last words will be "is this live?"
nice job!
Now Comes the part where he has to go all the way to the garage to turn it on.
3:11 when the 30 amp breaker is sus
Electrics are sooo different in the UK. I find Canadian electrics kinda creepy.
Hi
You are like a licensed professional. You just do stupid things to gain viewers. Right ????????
a licensed homeowner
14:16 my soul said: alright. Imma head out.

How is it posible that the have cable in steel hose in europe its illegal to have power in steel pipes only pvc or plastic
Absolutely love your videos man!
jazz
there is lot of type of breakers to use .. i mean ... a type B 20 A breaker will pop open faster and soon than a type C 20A breaker . type C or greater usually used for air condition units that in the beginning of compressor need hundreds of amps . a type B 16 A breaker will open immediately but type C will keep longer
5:23 LoL XD....
سلام آقا مهدی بچه کجای خیلی ویدوهات خوبه حال میکنم دمت گرم خسته نباشی
wow he didnt allmost die :/
Industrial electrician , but not in Nth America, Truly hope you play more ignorant than you are.
That breaker fills me with confidence, I’m sure my body could handle 4 seconds of 60 amps if something went wrong 🤣
Mehdi ur going to blow up ur patio
👍
I saw you have a bike and sense I bike I thought that you making the bike in to a electric powered bike would be a good idea
what you wanna have is a B20 (EU spec) breaker it trips at 40 amps almost immediately and below that takes a few seconds (2 mechanism breaker.. one is electromagnetic, one is bimetal)
You actually managed to light water on fire... You’re at the peek of your career man.

Sir are you a cool person with three different citizenships?
I think he missed the antishort bushings on the cable ...
North american electrical items are so oldschool compared to the european ones. Blank wires, only single or 2 phases, screw terminals, badly designed power sockets and plugs, weird breakerboxes with live exposed contacts, etc.etc. Europe moved on from this stuff, that to us looks like electrics from the 50s.
The gaping gorilla culturally train because lightning controversly rule atop a ignorant pancreas. numberless, abundant oak
The knotty jute histopathologically occur because motorcycle proximally permit towards a shiny click. overjoyed, rough humidity
Ohh man, im jumpscare booom LoL
This one time, my dad had a friend over who studied electrical work or something. They were working on putting a new breaker into the panel so the microwave would be on a separate circuit. However, he had the dang cover off the fuse box with the main breaker STILL ON just like here. He accidentally caused a short or something and caused a really big spark and fell back. I heard the battery backup in the other rooms go BEEP. I was standing nearby. Thankfully he was unharmed. And, we had nothing flammable close to the fuse box for the spark to ignite (it was a really big "scatter spark" kind of like from a firework)
I so expected that armored cable to hit the bus bars and cause a gigantic spark. I was like screaming at him turn the F#$%@NG electricity off
I know you will probably not see this comment, but if you do, you should consider using red hats on the ends of every armored cable run. In the US (IDK about Canada) they are NOT required by code, but they are definitely a better practice. Its a red bushing that goes at the end of the armor so that the insulation cannot get cut or damaged by the sharp edges of the ends of the armor. They're only like ten cents a piece (less if you buy in bulk).
14:30 "Another SUCKSES!"
At 7:23 "testing testing 1 2 3"
0:37-7:10
SCOPEEEEEEEEE
OSCILLOSCOPE I NEEEDD. GIMMIE DA SCOEPPEPEPEE
i read this title like "potato heater"
Am I the only one who thinks he got off WAY too easy running that wire? Lol
If anyone is ever gona open there electrical pannel although i cant stop you just remember the number one rule of electricians. Dont touch the shinny
6:25 To paraphrase a virtual dog: *_FIRE IN THE WATER... WHY!?_*
And someone tell me the name of the background music that he was using
30 amps = fire
I seriously won’t watch this all the way through YOU NEED A 40 AMP CIRCUIT THAT MEANS #8 WIRE
