How to Ghost Wire House Circuits

Plan out wiring before installing any circuits. Decide how many outlets will be on one circuit breaker and what household items will be drawing electricity through those lines. This helps you to evenly distribute household products that draw large amounts of power, such as refrigerators and dishwashers, on separate circuit breakers and electrical outlets.

Attach blue receptacle outlet boxes along wooden studs by nailing into place. Set the box so it sits flush against the side of the wall stud. The receptacle outlet box will hold the electrical sockets.

Run 14/2 Romex electrical cable to each of the boxes, having enough to connect to the electrical socket. Drill holes through the studs with a hole saw.

Fit plastic grommet rings in the drilled holes to protect wires from becoming frayed on the jagged wood edges. Staple the wire to the stud with the staple gun.

Strip the insulation from the ends of wires until enough copper appears to hook onto electrical socket housing. Place the black wire (hot wire) on the right side, using the needle-nose pliers to wrap the wire around the screw. Tighten the screw on to the wire with the Philip's screwdriver.

Connect the white neutral wire on the left side of the electrical socket. Tighten the screw. Push the extra wiring in the back of the receptacle outlet box.

Attach the electrical socket to the receptacle outlet box by tightening the front screws at the top and bottom. Continue to connect electrical sockets and run wires until one room circuit is connected.

Run the other end of the wire to the circuit breaker box. Place a wire connector cap on the end.
