How To

How to Install A Receptacle Box

Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical outlet. This includes making sure that the wiring is correctly installed and that there aren't any fire hazards or water damage.

Most boxes are prewired and have four wires from the breaker panel. The two black wires run through a box to the first screws on one side. While the red and the white wires run to the second screws on the opposite side. When connecting these wires together, it is crucial to ensure that wire nuts are not used and that wire wraps around screws is avoided. This will make it difficult to get the wires in place once they have been tightened. You want to keep them loose enough to move freely but tight enough so they won't pull out of their respective holes.

You might want to add a receptacle to an existing box. To do this, remove the top of the metal box and place a new coverplate. After the cover plate has been attached and the hole for the new receptacle is created, it is time to connect all the wires to this new receptacle.

If you are looking to replace the existing receptacles in your home with a more modern light switch, you may be able to accomplish this job without needing a licensed electrician to perform this work. The first thing you will need to do is remove the old switch from its mounting location. Then, disconnect all wires connecting to the switch. These wires include the power that goes into the switch and the ones that provide electricity to the lights in your room. After you've disconnected everything, you're ready to begin the replacement process.

After taking out the old switch you will need to measure the distance from the wall studs, and then mark them with permanent markers. Once this is done, you will need to determine if your new switch should be mounted higher than or lower than the floor.

Once you have the measurements taken and the locations marked, it is time to start the project.

Make sure to leave about 8 inches of space between each stud so you don't accidentally cut the cable inside the wall. Next, mount the new switch using appropriate mounting brackets. You will also need to attach the cables to the switch before tightening it down onto the mounting plates. Once the switch has been installed correctly, you will need turn the power off and test it.
