Outlet replacements are necessary for any home or workspace that uses electricity for all plug-in devices.
This includes the replacement of an outlet where the existing wiring is present.
Procedure:
- Turn the power off.
- Remove the faceplate from the electrical outlet.
- Remove the electrical outlet from the box by unscrewing the visible screws.
- Pull the outlet away from the box.
- Remove the wires from the old outlet by unscrewing the screws they're wrapped around slightly. Just enough so that you can slip the wires off.
