In this episode, Paul was asked the following question. Listen as Paul breaks down a question about if a metal wireway is used above a panel and interposed between an EMT raceway and a small 18” EMT Raceway, often called a nipple.

Also, he answers a question, in his opinion, of the lack of SCCR ratings on commercial HVAC equipment that may cause a conflict with 110.10 of the National Electrical Code.Listen as Paul Abernathy, CEO, and Founder of Electrical Code Academy, Inc., the leading electrical educator in the country, discusses electrical code, electrical trade, and electrical business-related topics to help electricians maximize their knowledge and industry investment.If you are looking to learn more about the National Electrical Code, for electrical exam preparation, or to better your knowledge of the NEC then visit https://fasttraxsystem.com for all the electrical code training you will ever need by the leading electrical educator in the country with the best NEC learning program on the planet.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.

Welcome to The Bond and Ground Podcast—On this episode Paul Abernathy discusses the misunderstanding of how to connect equipment grounding conductors, also known as EGC's in a box when you have multiple sizes and what happens when you have a metal box interposed in a PVC raceway system and visa versa for PVC boxes in metal raceway systems. On this podcast the National Electrical Code® becomes personal, practical, and powerfully clear. Hosted by Paul Abernathy, a respected voice on Code Making Panel 5 (CMP-5) and industry-leading expert on grounding and bonding, this show delivers deep insights into Article 250 and beyond. Each episode breaks down real-world applications of grounding and bonding rules, dispels myths, and explores the Code's intent—so you're not just following the rules, you're understanding them. Whether you're a licensed electrician, inspector, engineer, or serious Code student, The Bond and Ground Podcast equips you with the grounded knowledge you need to wire with confidence and stay compliant.

Blayne Ippolito went from addiction and homelessness to managing a team of high-performing electricians and selling and installing over $680K in residential electrical work with $1M in his sites this year. His journey is raw, powerful, and packed with lessons for anyone in the trades.  In this episode of The Successful Contractor, Blayne opens up about the pain that shaped him—and the purpose that drives him today. Now a sales manager with MZ Electric in Littleton, Colorado, Blayne trains his techs five days a week, blends emotional intelligence with process, and closes jobs with $4,000 average tickets. But what really sets him apart is how he leads with service, connection, and trust.  You'll learn: How Blayne's early life and recovery shaped his mission in the trades His approach to consultative sales that build massive trust with homeowners Why presenting tiered pricing options builds credibility—and increases close rates How he eliminates objections early using CertainPath's StraightForward Pricing Guide What it means to be a friend first, electrician second in a customer's home His mindset tools for resetting between calls, including gratitude and meditation The emotional training sessions he runs on Wednesdays—including one centered on the phrase “Justify Your Existence” Why fear is the biggest sales killer—and how techs can beat it The story of a homeowner who cried reading his bio—and trusted him over a cheaper bid What it takes to move from technician to trusted leader of a service team  Blayne's story isn't just about closing big tickets. It's about becoming the kind of person others believe in. Whether you're a tech, a leader, or someone just looking to find more meaning in your work—this is a conversation you won't forget.  Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,200+ strong.

I'll take unlikely pitchers to strike out Shohei Ohtani for 200 please. We let Sally Jenkins and Jake Mintz take the lead on the “permanent ends when you're dead” rant re Pete and the other formerly permanently ineligibles. Will Andy Pages be the player that gets Pottymouth to manage her fantasy team more closely? Maybe! Patti's team is again short a 3rd baseman but the math is working out. PCA's newest stats are rivaling those of the new Pope for Chicago-based excitement. We thought the BOS gag was going to be Who's On First but it turned out to be who is in the outfield because the new City Connects are Fenway camo for the guys near the wall. Kudos to the second place finisher in a Maine high school track event for calling out Rep. Laurel Libby as a bully for “maligning” the trans-identified athlete who won the event. And we crosstrain with ornithology because even after Brandon Hyde got fired only one kind of oriole is fun to watch right now.We say, “I wanna piggyback on the joy,” “who wouldn't want to swing a rainbow banner?” and “I hate it when drag queens make me cry.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage.  Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step.  What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery.  Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.  Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,200+ strong.
