How To

How to Install an Receptacle Box

Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical 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 black and red wires will run through the box to one end, while the white and red wires will go to the other end. When connecting wires together, you must ensure that the wire nuts and wire wraps are not used. It is likely that you will have problems getting the wires into place after tightening them down. 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. You'll need to take off the top of your existing metal box, and then add 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.

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 those that supply electricity to lights and power going into the switch. After everything has been disconnected, it's time to begin the procedure of replacement.

After removing the old switch, you'll need to measure the distance between the wall studs and mark them with a permanent marker. 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 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. To avoid accidentally cutting the cable in the wall, leave 8 inches between each stud. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. Attach the cables to your switch and then secure it onto the mounting plates. Once the switch has been installed correctly, you will need turn the power off and test it.
