The most popular video of last month garnered more than 13.7k views across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. In it, Trevor talks about how he went about this 250-ft wire pull using 16-gauge control wire. If you were tasked with this job, what would you do the same or differently?
A common problem electrical contractors and electricians come across is resetting tripped breakers. In this video, Trevor shows how breaker handles can sometimes stay in the on position even if they’re tripped. Learn why and how to reset them with ease.
The final video from October 2025 that we're going to highlight is this one, featuring one of Trevor's hardest-to-reach job sites. If any of your equipment has electrical components that will eventually be put high by a crane, Trevor advises you to do as much of the electrical work/staging as possible while on ground level! This will make it much easier than hauling stuff up high to work on.
