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 making sure that the wiring is correctly installed and that there aren't any fire hazards or water damage.
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. If this happens, you will probably have trouble getting the wires to stay in place after they are tightened down. You want them to be free enough to move around but still tight enough not to pull from their holes.
Another piece of hardware may be needed if you are adding a receptacle for an already existing box. You will need to remove the metal box's top and attach a cover plate. Once the hole is made for the new receptacle and the cover plate is attached, you would need to connect all of the wires to the new receptacle.
You may not need a licensed electrician to replace the existing light switches in your home. The first thing you will need to do is remove the old switch from its mounting location. The next step is to unplug any wires attached 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. Now you are ready to start the replacement process.
After you remove the old switch, measure how far the wall studs are from your new switch and mark them using a permanent marker. Once you have measured the distance between wall studs and marked them with permanent markers, you can determine whether the new switch must be mounted high above the floor or below it. 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.
Once the measurements have been taken and the locations marked up, you can start the project. You can begin removing the drywall around the area where the switch is to be installed with the assistance of a friend or relative. 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. After attaching the cables to the switch, you will need to secure it to the mounting plates. Once the switch is fully installed, you'll need to turn back the power and test it for proper operation.
