Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind for your next electrical project:

Electrical Tips

  • Use Pocket Change to Determine Wire Sizes.  When you add an electrical outlet, you need to use wire the same gauge as the existing wiring. How do you tell if your old wiring is 12-gauge or 14-gauge? Simple visuals make it easy.  Twelve-gauge is about the thickness of a nickel, and 14-gauge about the thickness of a dime. Also, look at the breaker for the circuit in question to see if it’s a 15-amp or a 20-amp breaker. A 20-amp circuit requires wire size 12-gauge or larger.
  • Over Your Head & Neckaches.  Installing the rough-in wiring for recessed light fixtures can give you a huge neckache if you try to nail the rough-in fixture and stand on a ladder to attach the wires. Here is an alternative: Wire the fixture on the ground; once it is complete, lift the fixture up and nail it in place. All you have to do is figure out the length of the wire feeding the light. Wire the light then drop the wire to the switch or next fixture.
  • Smoke Detectors.  Where’s the best place to install smoke detectors? According to the National Electrical Code: There must be a 120-volt battery backup smoke detector on the ceiling, or on the wall close to the ceiling in the area outside of every bedroom, and inside of each bedroom. All smoke detectors must be tied together so that if one goes off they all do. Smoke detectors must be protected by an arc fault breaker. When you are roughing in for smoke detectors daisy-chain them with 14-3 WG and the extra (red) wire will interconnect the system.
  • Wasy-to-Read Circuit Breakers.  Make your circuit breaker numbers easier to read.  Use painter’s caulk. Put a dab on each of the numbers and wipe off the excess with your finger, leaving behind easy-to-read numbers.
  • The Best Way to Test Breaker Switches.  Working by yourself? Plug in a radio then flip off the breakers until the radio shuts off. Light-bulb socket adapters with receptacles built into the sides helped identify the lighting circuits
  • Simple Way to Save Your Outlets While Woodworking.  Keep the outlets clean in your power strips.  Simply put a strip of masking tape over outlets you’re not using and replace it as needed. The power strips last a lot longer!
