Author: Chris Cornell: Electrical and wiring installation is necessary in order to have power in your home for operating heat and various appliances. This particular part of the construction phase is usually done by qualified professionals. However, it is recommended that you study the basic of installing electric wiring for quick fix-ups in your home.

These are the basic principles on how to install electric wiring.

First, make sure that the main power supply to the home is shut down.  Or at least, remove the fuse or trip the breaker for the specific circuit you will be working on in the service panel. Never start working until this is made certain.

To fully understand how to install electric wiring in your home, study the wiring diagram. This will help you greatly in getting the gist of good electrical wiring.  It is also recommended that you read an electrical how-to book or manual. Having a guide book at home is good for reference anytime you need to do a fix-up in your wiring.

Remember that wires of the same color connect to each other. Basically, electrical wires are color coded to prevent wiring errors.  White wires are normally used to connect to other white wires or to chrome terminal screws on switches and receptacles.

Black wires in the cables are intended for connecting switches. However, there are cases where a cable is extended. If this is the material, white wires are often used instead of black wires. To be able to prevent future wiring errors, try to paint the white wire black.

The standard wiring used for homes is Number 12 or 14 gauge wiring. Under most codes, the smallest permitted wiring is Number 14.

For continuation in any extended wiring circuit, always use the same size of cable.

By remembering these basics in how to install electric wiring, the task of fixing or installing new wiring would be less confusing.
