Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Your home's electrical system does not have to be a mystery. I'm Christian, a licensed C-10 electrical contractor in San Diego and an electrical engineer, and I've worked in thousands of homes. This course explains what I wish every homeowner knew, in plain words and with no jargon.

You will take a guided tour of your electrical panel, learn what breakers and their numbers mean, label your panel directory, and understand why breakers trip. You will learn what GFCI, AFCI, surge protection and smoke and CO alarms really do, how to spot warning signs and older wiring, how to think about adding EV chargers, heat pumps, solar and batteries, and how to hire an electrician and read a quote.

You also get a downloadable Home Electrical Safety Checklist & Panel Directory Template (PDF) and a short quiz after every section.

Important safety note: this course is educational and teaches awareness, not electrical repair. It does not give step-by-step instructions for live or internal wiring work. Electrical work can cause shock, fire or death, and codes and permit rules vary by city. When in doubt, call a licensed electrician.

About the production: the narration in this course is generated with an AI text-to-speech voice, and the slides were produced with AI-assisted tools. The content was written and reviewed by the instructor.

Who this course is for
Homeowners and new buyers who want to understand their electrical system
