Replacement, repair, installation of electrical wiring

In modern life, electricity has become an integral part of our daily lives. Light, appliances, charging gadgets – all of this requires the effective operation of outlets. If the outlet is faulty, it has burned out or is sparking, or if you lack the current number of sockets – it means you need to solve this task promptly.<\u002Fp>\r\n

Moreover, the need to replace outlets may be due to the installation of more powerful consumers (increased load on the outlet), burning out of contacts, or loosening of the mounting place.<\u002Fp>\r\n

But let's go step by step. Before performing the installation of an outlet or its replacement, you need to buy that very outlet.<\u002Fp>\r\n

How to choose an outlet?<\u002Fp>\r\n

\r\n
• A standard outlet withstands a load of 2.2-2.3 kW, but this is the nominal power. Buy an outlet with spring brass contacts. They grip the plug better, in addition to poor contact pressure and burning out of contacts.<\u002Fp>\r\n
• Each outlet has an IP parameter - the degree of moisture and dust protection. An outlet in the bathroom or kitchen should have a level of at least 44.<\u002Fp>\r\n<\u002Ful>\r\n

  Self-replacement of an outlet - step-by-step instructions<\u002Fp>\r\n

  Replacing an outlet starts with turning off the circuit breaker and checking for the absence of voltage on it. Unscrew the screw, remove the plastic casing. The contact part of the outlet is held by the side "claws" that spread apart when the screws are tightened. If you need to install an outlet in concrete or brick, it is enough to reduce the diameter of the hole with gypsum or alabaster and after it hardens, make small recesses for the support of the "claws". For an outlet in drywall, it is recommended to buy a mounting box.<\u002Fp>\r\n

  Unscrew the wires, remove the old outlet, and attach the wires to the new one. Polarity does not matter, the main thing is to attach the wires to different contact terminals. If the new outlet is designed for two inputs, the phases are distributed to the contacts of different inputs, and the neutral is connected to the common contact. The price for installing a single and double outlet is the same. In some cases, a new cut may need to be made - use a "tungsten" cup drill with a hammer drill. You can avoid chipping if you run the wire from the outside in a box. If chipping cannot be avoided, then:<\u002Fp>\r\n

  \r\n
  1. make a cut with a grinder along the "borders" of the future channel;<\u002Fp>\r\n
  2. use a perforator to break the concrete. Keep in mind that in the legislative field, this work can only be done at certain times.<\u002Fp>\r\n<\u002Fol>\r\n

     The second option is to use a wall groove cutter. The installation of an outlet without chipping takes a maximum of 30-40 minutes.<\u002Fp>\r\n

     Self-repair or replacement of an outlet seems simple. And budget-friendly. But only if you have all the necessary tools, free time, and (most importantly!) knowledge and experience. Remember that unprofessional interventions in the electrical system can lead to serious injuries and damage to equipment. Inexperienced actions may not solve the problem or even complicate it. <\u002Fp>\r\n

     Or maybe for the outlet repair, choose "a friend's help"?<\u002Fp>\r\n

     Another option is to seek help from relatives or neighbors who have experience in electrical installation work. But again - in case of equipment damage or the emergence of new problems, it is unclear who is responsible. And one way or another, you are dependent on the neighbor - adapting to their schedule, desires, and capabilities.<\u002Fp>\r\n

     That is why more and more people in search of an experienced master turn to specialized companies. Calling an electrician to your home – and you won't know trouble. The main thing is to find a reliable company. Many advertisements for electrician services can be found online. This provides clients with a wide choice of candidates to solve the problem. However, it is very difficult to ensure the professionalism and reliability of the electrician. Some advertisements may be misleading, increasing the risk of encountering fraudsters. Electricians found through advertisements may not have a good reputation, which can affect the quality of services.<\u002Fp>\r\n
