Basic Home Electrical Repair I

Learn the basics of your home’s electrical system in this hands-on class. You’ll go over different types of wires, wire sizes (called “gauges”), and how to use them safely. The instructor will show you how to:

  • Strip wire correctly
  • Attach wires to outlets, switches, and light fixtures
  • Use basic testing tools

Please bring straight and Phillips screwdrivers, long-nose pliers, and wire strippers if you have them.

This class meets in two separate sessions. The instructor recommends signing up for both Part I and Part II at the same time. You must take Basic Home Electrical Repair I before attending Advanced Home Electrical Repair II.
