How to install electrical wiring on:
1. Auxiliary Outlet
Turn Off the Power, and Test Outlet
Locate your home’s main service panel. Also known
as the breaker box or fuse box, the main service
panel is usually located in a utility area, such as a
basement, kitchen pantry, garage, hallway, closet, or
on an outside wall.
Turn off the circuit powering the new outlet by
switching off the corresponding circuit breaker. Test
the outlet for power using a non-contact voltage
tester to verify that the power is off.
If you are replacing an existing outlet, remove the
old outlet at this time by unscrewing it from its
electrical box, pulling it out, and disconnecting the
wires attached to it. You might want to take a
picture before taking off the wires to help with
rewiring the new receptacle.\

2. Lighting Fixtures
Cut openings for the wiring. Cut openings into the
ceiling, or wall surfaces for the boxes, for the
switch(es), and for the fixture support by first tracing
around the box on the wall or ceiling surface.[8] Be
sure to match the switch box height to those in the
rest of your home.
If a fixture is to be installed in the ceiling, the box
should be a 4” octagon box. It is important to note
that even if a small light fixture is planned to be
installed here, consider installing a fan-rated box, as
a paddle fan might be installed here in the future.
If installing recessed light fixtures, no box is installed
as a wiring compartment is provided on the fixture
itself. The open to be cut in the ceiling is provided by
the template included with the fixture by most
manufacturers or by tracing around the rough-in
housing opening.
