How To
How to Install a Receptacle Box
Always follow local guidelines when installing an electrical outlet. This includes ensuring that your wiring is properly installed, as well as avoiding any problems related to water damage and fire hazards.
For installation, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming directly from the breaker panels. The two black wires run through the box to the first screw on one side, while the red and white wires go to the second screw on the opposite side of the box. 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 them to be free enough to move around but still tight enough not to pull from their 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. 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.
If you are looking to replace the existing receptacles in your home with a more modern light switch, you may be able to accomplish this job without needing a licensed electrician to perform this work. 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 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. 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.
Once the measurements have been taken and the locations marked up, you can start the project. With the help of a family member or friend, you can begin to remove the drywall around where the switch will be placed. To ensure that the cable is not accidentally cut inside the wall, you should leave about 8 inches space between each stud. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. The cables will also need attaching to the switch. Finally, screw it into the mounting plates. Once you have installed the switch, turn the power back ON and test it to make sure it functions properly.
