Always turn off power to the area or device you are working on.
At the main service panel, remove the fuse or shut off the circuit breaker that controls the circuit you are servicing. Always confirm the power is shut off by testing the circuit with a neon circuit tester. Restore power only when the repair or replacement has been completed.
Electrical improvements and repairs are strictly controlled by local codes which vary widely from region to region. Always check the codes before you start.

Safety should be the primary concern of anyone working with electricity. Although most household electrical repairs are simple and straightforward, always use caution and good judgment when working with electrical wiring or devices. |

Everyone who does electrical work needs a line tester, an indicator light with two leads. The 4-level tester is safer and more reliable than a 1-level model. Always confirm that a tester works properly by first trying it on a circuit you know to be live.
-
Keeping
your fingers on the insulated portions of the tester probes, press the
metal electrodes into a receptacle or touch them to the screw
terminals you're testing. If the light comes on, there's still power
there. -
Solid copper wires are the most efficient conductors of electricity. Be sure to use wires that are large enough for the amperage rating of the circuit. A wire that's too small may become dangerously hot.
