Depending on the complexity.

Hanging a ceiling fan $60-75.

Run a new line $60-125.

Receptacle wiring question

T

turbojimmy on Apr 06, 2003

Hi all, I've finally begun pulling wire to the boxes in my basement. I have a question on the very first wire I pulled, of course. I run from the subpanel to the first outlet. From there, I need to feed outlets in both directions. It's okay to have 3 #12 wires in the box to accomplish this, right? I'm not sure how else I'd do it. And one more dumb one. On the plastic boxes, there's a "flap" that you jam the wire through - it rotates open. Can I slip a second wire through the other side of the tab? Or do I have to use another hole. The problem is that with the aforementioned box, all 3 wires come in from below and there's only two holes in the box. TIA, JimRead More
