By asking this question you probably aren't quite ready to take on this particular task. If you do get an answer here, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or even their life. Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you put just one wire in the wrong place you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire. <><><> Find and read some books about electrical wiring and appliances and how to install them safely, and find out about your local Wiring Codes and Regulations. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed and if you would be allowed to do it yourself.

Before you do any work yourself

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
