To wire an outlet, you'll need to shut off the power to the circuit at the main breaker panel. Next, remove the cover plate from the electrical outlet and use a voltage tester to make sure that there's no power running through the wires. Then, loosen the screws on the electrical box and remove the old outlet.If you're adding a new outlet, connect the black and white wires to the corresponding screws on the new outlet and twist on a wire connector. If you're replacing an old outlet, connect each wire to its corresponding screw on the new outlet. Once all of your connections are secure, reattachthe cover plate and turn on the power at the breaker panel.

The first step is to turn off the power to the outlet at the breaker box. Then, remove the cover plate from the outlet. Next, use a voltage tester to make sure that there is no power coming into the outlet. If there is power coming into the outlet, you will need to turn off the power at the breaker box before continuing.Now, use a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold on the outlet's cover. Once the screws are removed, you can pull off the cover and expose the wiring. There should be four wires - two black wires and two white wires - coming out of the outlet.
