Testing Electrical Outlets for Connectivity

Video Transcript

Hi I am Drew Fendy, master home inspector. I have been inspecting for over 24 years. Today we are going to describe how to install an electrical receptacle for Expertvillage.com. Okay, we have got it all wired in. We want to make sure our wiring was correct. These testers are the best things you can buy to test the outlets. You can use it for all your outlets. It is a good investment to have. Plug it in, we push the button and we can trip it off. We reset it, it will tell you if you have wired it correctly. If the parietes is correct, if you have a ground and the test we will click it off. You see the lights go off, if you have wired it incorrectly to the line side is where you are supposed to do. If you do it to the load side you click this, it will click off and the lights will stay on until you get them correctly. So this is the last thing to make sure you have done a completely safe job.
