electrical wiring

Welcome to A2K, geexoxo. I don't know much about electrical wiring, so I just do the simple stuff like replacing lighting fixtures and switches. Other than that, a professional electrician does it. Better safe than sorry; a burnt down home is not worth the risk.

Hi geexoxo,

I was an electrical enginner, and as well as welcoming you to the site I would like to congratulate you for asking for help.

Since you know little about wiring mains supplies, I sincerely suggest your friend finds someone who can describe the method of wiring along with all the precautions necessary to avoid disasters which can occur.

The task is quite simple really; it takes only a few minutes, but I know that it can cost a lot of money to get the right man in.

If you do find instructions on the web, make sure your friend fully understands the principles involved. They are not hard, but need to be understood.

Best regards, Bill.

When we had our kitchen remodel done a few years ago, they had to rewire almost everything in the house, and it cost us over $3,000 just to meet city codes. The electricians put in another larger control box outside. I'm sure the principles are easy, but I'd rather not take any chances, and hire a professional to install all the wires.
