Call an electrician. Please don’t be learning on your home around when it comes to electrical.

They are learning by asking questions and getting sensible answers.

ok, say you guys give him good advice, doesn’t mean he’s going to do it correctly. I just left a customer’s house, the guy wired up his outlets himself, says he’s done it hundreds of times but for some reason half the room isn’t working. I went to the first outlet, he hadn’t tightened a screw correctly and the wire was just sitting there and heating up because of the bad connection. He was risking a house fire because he didn’t do a “simple” outlet correctly.

Yeah, and I encountered work by qualified electricians where somebody forgot to tighten a screw too.

Ok, don’t call an electrician, do everything yourself. Then call us when you can’t figure out the situation you got yourself in and we’ll be sure to charge the “homeowner tried to do it themself” price. Cause when we have to figure out your three way switch you messed up, that’s another $250 diagnosis charge.

Been doing my own wiring for about 50 years.

Education. Read the appropriate wiring standards. Be compliant. Take care. Check your work. Test.

Have never had to pay an electrician to diagnose anything.
