How To
How to Install Receptacle Box
Follow the instructions of your local building inspector before installing any type electrical outlet. You should ensure that the wiring is done correctly, and that there are no fire hazards or water damage.
For installation, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming directly from the breaker panels. The box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting wires, it is important that you don't use wire nuts or wrap around screws. If this happens, you will probably have trouble getting the wires to stay in place after they are tightened down. They should be loose enough for them to move but not too tight that they pull out of their holes.
You might want to add a receptacle to an 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.
You might be able to replace your existing light switches with modern ones by yourself. The first step is to take the old switch out of its mounting spot. The next step is to unplug any wires attached to the switch. These wires include power going into the switch itself and the ones that supply electricity to the lights in the room where the switch is located. 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 this is done, you will need to determine if your new switch should be mounted higher than or lower than the floor. Depending upon the height of the switch, you'll need to drill a hole to mount the bracket or attach it directly to drywall using drywall anchors.
After the measurements are taken and the locations have been marked up, it's time to get started. You can begin removing the drywall around the area where the switch is to be installed with the assistance of a friend or relative. You should leave at least 8 inches between each stud to prevent accidentally cutting the cable. Next, install the switch by attaching the brackets to it. 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.
