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 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 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. When connecting these wires together it is vital to not use wire nuts or wrap around the screws. 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.
A second piece of hardware might be required if you wish to add a receptacle or container to an existing box. You'll need to take off the top of your existing metal box, and then add 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 might be able to replace your existing light switches with modern ones by yourself. First, remove the switch from its mount. You should then disconnect all wires from 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. After everything has been disconnected, it's time to begin the procedure of replacement.
After removing the switch, measure the distance to the wall and mark the location with a permanent marking pen. Once you have done this, you will also need to determine if the new switch needs to be mounted high above or below the floor. Depending on the height of your switch, drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Or attach the switch directly using 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. To ensure that the cable is not accidentally cut inside the wall, you should leave about 8 inches space between each stud. Next, attach the mounting brackets to the new switch. Next, attach the cables and secure the switch onto the mounting brackets. Once the switch is fully installed, you'll need to turn back the power and test it for proper operation.
