Wiring electrical outlets question?
I have removed all the plaster and lath from a wall that has two windows in it. The wall is in my study and the other side of the wall is an exterior wall on my porch. It now has one electrical outlet between the two windows. That electrical outlet also has an outdoor outlet on the other side of the wall
wired to it. Before I insulate and wallboard the wall I would like to remove the single outlet, keep the exterior outlet and wire two outlets into the wall, one under each window.
My previous wiring experience is with wiring lighting fixtures.
Any help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance for your help.
Wow! You guys are all great. The instructions are all easy to understand and the links to the photos are helpful. I did go and get a book too. I wish I could give all three of you best answer! Thanks so much!
this will be easy to do.
first you should count the number of outlets on that circuit.
you have to make sure that the addition of this one receptacle will be within the range of the existing breaker.
should you need to change the breaker to a higher rated one i Strongly recommend using a licensed electrician.
from the existing hole where the receptacle is between the windows install a wall box to make the connections in.
pull the hot wire from this wall box to feed the receptacle on the left. wire up one side of the plug.
from the other side of that plug go back to the wall box and wire up the outdoor plug.
piggyback off the outdoor plug and wire up the plug on the right side of the room.
maker sure the outdoor plug is GFIC rated and has a rain tight enclosure.
hope this helps.
