How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
It is important to follow the recommendations of your local inspector when installing any type electric outlet. This includes ensuring the correct installation and that there is no water damage or fire hazard.
Most boxes are prewired and have four wires from the breaker panel. The black and red wires will run through the box to one end, while the white and red wires will go to the other end. It is very important to make sure that you do not use wire nuts and wrap around the screws when connecting these wires together. If this happens, you will probably have trouble getting the wires to stay in place after they are tightened down. 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. This task involves removing the metal top from the box and adding a new cover. Once you have made the hole in the cover plate for the new connector, connect all of your wires to it.
You might be able to replace your existing light switches with modern ones by yourself. The first thing you will need to do is remove the old switch from its mounting location. Next, you will need to take the time to unplug all wires that are connected to the switch. These wires include power going into the switch itself and the ones that supply electricity to the lights in the room where the switch is located. Now you are ready to start the replacement process.
After removing the switch, measure the distance to the wall and mark the location with a permanent marking pen. Once this is done, you will need to determine if your new switch should be mounted higher than or lower than the floor. Depending on where the switch will be installed, either drill a hole or attach it to the wall with drywall anchors.
Once measurements have been taken, and the locations are marked up you can start the job. With the help of a friend or family member, you can start removing the drywall surrounding the area where the switch will be installed. You should leave at least 8 inches between each stud to prevent accidentally cutting the cable. Next, mount the new switch using appropriate mounting brackets. Next, attach the cables and secure the switch onto the mounting brackets. Once the switch has been fully installed, you will need to turn the power back on and test the newly added device to ensure it works properly.
