In today’s video I’m walking you through how we upgraded the factory-installed all-in-one switches in our brand new Clayton Homes manufactured home to true residential-grade electrical boxes and switches.

If you own a manufactured or mobile home, you’ve probably noticed the builder-grade all-in-one switch and outlet system. They work… but they’re not the same as standard residential electrical setups. In this video I show the complete process of:

• Removing manufactured home all-in-one switch units
• Installing fiberglass old-work electrical boxes
• Identifying hot, neutral, and ground wires
• Using pigtails correctly for switches and outlets
• Wiring with push-to-connect fittings
• Installing a Zigbee smart light switch
• Testing and verifying power safely

This is the exact process we’re using as we slowly upgrade every switch (and eventually every outlet) in our home.

⚠️ Disclaimer: I am NOT an electrician. This video shows how I completed this project in our home. Always turn off power, verify with a meter, and consult a licensed professional if you are not completely confident working with electricity.

Why we’re doing this:
• When we chose a manufactured home instead of going modular, we knew we’d be upgrading certain things ourselves. The electrical switches and outlets were one of those trade-offs. For us, upgrading them later made more financial sense than paying the upfront modular premium.

If you're considering a manufactured home, already own one, or just want to upgrade builder-grade switches, this video should give you a clear understanding of how it’s done.

If you have questions, drop them in the comments and I’ll help where I can (within reason and safety).

Thanks for watching and following along as we continue improving our home one project at a time.
