How To
How to Install an Receptacle Box
You should follow all guidelines provided by your local building inspector when installing any type or outlet. This includes ensuring that the wiring is installed correctly and that there are no problems associated with water damage or existing fire hazards.
Most boxes are prewired and have four wires from the breaker panel. The box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting wires, it is important that you don't use wire nuts or wrap around screws. This will make it difficult to get the wires in place once they have been tightened. You want them to be free enough to move around but still tight enough not to pull from their holes.
Add another piece of hardware if you need to add a container to an existing metal box. You will need to remove the metal box's top and attach a cover plate. After you have made the hole for your new receptacle, and attached the coverplate, you will need to connect all wires to your new receptacle.
You may not need a licensed electrician to replace the existing light switches in your home. First, remove the switch from its mount. Next, you will need to take the time to unplug all wires that are connected 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 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 the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using drywall anchors.
Once you have the measurements taken and the locations marked, it is time to start the project. You will need to remove the drywall from the area where the switch will go. For cable safety, make sure you leave 8 inches between each of the studs. The next step is to mount the switch using the appropriate mounting brackets. You will also need to attach the cables to the switch before tightening it down onto the mounting plates. Once you have installed the switch, turn the power back ON and test it to make sure it functions properly.
