How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
When installing any type of electrical outlet, you should always follow the guidelines your local building inspector set forth. This includes ensuring that the wiring is installed correctly and that there are no problems associated with water damage or existing fire hazards.
For installation, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming directly from the breaker panels. The two black wires lead to the box's first screw. The red, white, and blue wires go to its second screw. When connecting these wires together it is vital to not use wire nuts or wrap around the screws. It is likely that you will have problems getting the wires into place after tightening them down. They should be loose enough for them to move but not too tight that they pull out of their holes.
If you want to add receptacle to an already existing box, you might need to consider adding another piece of hardware. You will need to remove the metal box's top and attach a cover plate. Once you have made the hole in the cover plate for the new connector, connect all of your wires to it.
It is possible to replace existing light switches in your house with modern ones without the need for a licensed electrician. First, remove the switch from its mount. Then, disconnect all wires connecting to the switch. These wires are the ones that supply power to the switch as well as the ones that supply electricity for the lights in the area where it is located. After you've disconnected everything, you're ready to begin the replacement process.
After removing the old switch, you'll need to measure the distance between the wall studs and mark them with a permanent marker. Once you've done this, you need to decide if the switch should be placed high above or low to the floor. You will need to drill holes for the mounting bracket depending on how high the switch is to be mounted. Or you can attach it directly to the wall with drywall anchors.
After the measurements are taken and the locations have been marked up, it's time to get started. Begin tearing down the drywall in the area where you want to install the switch. To avoid accidentally cutting the cable in the wall, leave 8 inches between each stud. Next, attach the mounting brackets to the new switch. The cables will also need attaching to the switch. Finally, screw it into the mounting plates. Once the switch is fully installed, you'll need to turn back the power and test it for proper operation.
