How To

How to Install an Receptacle Box

Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical outlet. This includes ensuring that the wiring is installed correctly and that there are no problems associated with water damage or existing fire hazards.

The majority of boxes come prewired, with four wires coming out of 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. 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 you do this, it will be difficult for the wires not to stick in their place once they are tightened. You want to keep them loose enough to move freely but tight enough so they won't pull out of their respective holes.

Another piece of hardware may be needed if you are adding a receptacle for an already existing box. To do this, remove the top of the metal box and place a new coverplate. 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 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. You should then disconnect all wires from the switch. These wires can be used to power the switch or supply electricity to the light fixtures in the 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 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. Depending on the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using drywall anchors.

After you have taken measurements and marked the locations, you can begin 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. To avoid accidentally cutting the cable in the wall, leave 8 inches between each stud. The next step is to mount the switch using the appropriate mounting brackets. 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.
