How To
How to Install an Receptacle Box
When installing any type of electrical outlet, you should always follow the guidelines your local building inspector set forth. This includes ensuring the correct installation and that there is no water damage or fire hazard.
As far as installation goes, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming from the breaker panel. The two black wires lead to the box's first screw. The red, white, and blue wires go to its second screw. It is very important to make sure that you do not use wire nuts and wrap around the screws when connecting these wires together. You will have difficulty getting the wires to stay put after 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.
If you want to add receptacle to an already existing box, you might need to consider adding another piece of hardware. This task involves removing the metal top from the box and adding a new cover. 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.
A modern light switch can replace the existing receptacles within your home. This task may be possible without the assistance of a licensed electrician. 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 include the power that goes into the switch and the ones that provide electricity to the lights in your room. You can now begin the process of replacing everything you have removed.
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 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.
After the measurements are taken and the locations have been marked up, it's time to get started. Begin tearing down the drywall in the area where you want to install the switch. For cable safety, make sure you leave 8 inches between each of the studs. 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 is fully installed, you'll need to turn back the power and test it for proper operation.
