Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 200 ratings
  • I used to give this 5 stars, but it's gone down hill. Paul's electrical knowledge is vast and deep. Definitely worth listening to the back catalogue if you want to improve your code knowledge.

    But these days, most episodes are a mix of minimally useful live-while-driving episodes, sales pitches for Paul's products, and uninformed political rants. The utility is no longer worth my time.

  • Grifter

    There is a reason he was let go from the code making panel. He is one-sided. A hypocrite. And worst of all, a professional grifter who only cares about his well being and making money off hard working people. His podcast are boring and lack production. Very basic info, just a funnel to spend more money on material that you can find just about anywhere. So do it on your own.

  • Hypocrisy

    Claims to be a marine, yet somehow also supports a tyrant for President. If you took an oath to defend the constitution, you can’t also support a candidate that incited a mob to overthrow a fair election. One wonders where this host was on Jan 6th. Defending the Capitol or invading it? 🤔

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 213 | Will AI Take My Job? | Message To NFPA
Q: Do you think that AI will take electrician jobs in the future?
While AI may assist with certain tasks, it will not replace the need for skilled electricians. Electricians and plumbers will remain essential due to the hands-on nature of their work.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 211 | Listed Staples, Straps, Cleats, and Hangers?
Q: Is it true that the fasteners are going to be required to be listed in the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code?
Yes, it is true that starting in the 2026 edition, fasteners like staples, straps, and hangers will be required to be listed.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 210 | Are Wireways Pull Boxes and HVAC’s SCCR Ratings Issue
Q: What is your take on the SCCR rating for HVAC equipment?
The SCCR rating for HVAC equipment is often less than the available fault current, which can pose compliance issues; engineers should push manufacturers for higher ratings.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 210 | Are Wireways Pull Boxes and HVAC’s SCCR Ratings Issue
Q: Does the wireway have to be eight times the raceway size, as stated in 376.23b?
The wireway must comply with the size requirements of a pull box even if you are not technically using it as a pull box, as it is perceived that way under NEC regulations.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 208 | Wall Spacing Question and Sprinkler Systems and Horns
Q: In a dwelling unit with a fire sprinkler system and a fire bell, does the fire bell have to be on a dedicated circuit?
The fire bell may not need to be on a dedicated circuit if it's simply a standalone notification system rather than a fire alarm system, but it's recommended for safety.
