EASIEST Way To Add Extra Outlet To Any Room! NO WIRING NEEDED! Outlet Light Switch Combo DIY How To

What if my box only has a black and white wire?

Thanks this helped

❤thank you

I like the fact that there's a red LED on the switch. The comes in handy in my garage where the switch controls a light over my driveway. When the garage door is shut you don't know if the driveway light is on or off but if you look at the LED you will know instantly.

What stripper are you using?

what if you only have 2 wires

GREAT VIDEO BUT I LIKE THAT IT SAYS YOU DONT NEED TO AD NO WIRE OR ANYTHING 6 MINS IN TO THE VIDEO HE SAYS AD A PIG TAL WIRE LOL STILL GREAT VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL DIDNT NO THESE EXIST

This is a good way to add a receptacle in a bedroom with limited outlets in an older home. Just have to hope there's a neutral in the switch box.

Thank you for explaining also the tool for wire stripping is not the same at your store . Those looked very simple where can I get it

love it

Terrible idea! Don't trip over the ugly extension cord hanging down the wall! Hire and electrician and add an outlet!!

Do you have a video on how to change an outlet that has one switch (for a light)and one outlet back to just remotes and no switch/light?

Thanks! Super helpful.

use both tester

Wow. That is a loud switch.

Great video explaining how to do this. I needed to put a combo into the light switch in my attic.
Followed your directions and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for posting this video.

I don’t have a neutral wire in my box. How should I go about this?

"EASIEST" if you have neutral wire in electrical box! :)

this doesn’t work in older homes where they bring the power for the light to the ceiling, and do a “switch leg drop” to switch on and off the light. If you aren’t aware, a switch leg drop is where they do one run of romex wire down to the light switch box and use the black as the feed and white as the hot to the light. (usually the white wire will be marked black but some people are lazy.)
obviously wouldn’t work because there is no neutral wire at the box. most modern homes should run the feed into the light switch box and then up to the light like this though.

Nice video, this is a very handy idea!

Remember everyone no wet hands
😊

Great video thanks

I wonder if you can help? In by switch box, I have only 3 wires; black (hot), white and green (ground), and that's it! I don't have another black wire like you do so only the switch works but NOT the outlet. Any idea on how to make it works, thank you.

NO WIRING NEEDED! (and then proceeds to do a shit ton of wiring)

Do you have a video how to add outlet if it was late the first switched you showed

Since typically you'd want to add an outlet off a switch in the bathroom you'll need to use the GFI type of comination switch/outlet. They run a bit more but of course it will make your DIY code (and much safer).

Would this work well on either side of a light with 3way switches?

Ok, I've got a light switch with a white, black and earth wire but nothing else. How do I do this with just those 3 wires?

Thanks! I kept searching for this. Everyone else's was complicated, wanted the switch to control the outlet. Thanks so much.

👏👏👏👍👌 chingon !!

My wire is old and dont have a grouw wire,so what can i do,thank you

OMG love it

What if I want the outlet to be powered only when switch is turned on?

So what do you do if there’s no neutral wire?

what do you do if the wiring doesn't have Ground.Thank you much

is it ok to plug my microwave into this outlet? (Power Consumption: 12.4 Amps, 1,480W
Cooking Power: 1,200 W) Thanks.

You are a miracle worker. thank you will be watching and liking in the future

Vry helpful, thank you. But with the same procedures can i do the samething with an outlet instead of a light. So that the switch can operate the outlet outside??

does all light switches have a neutral cable in the outlet box?

can i plug a window AC in one of those outlets?

That is side wiring not back wiring

You don't put lighting on service circuits. You DIY people are going to get some one killed. All white wire in a house are not neutral.

There are only two wires (black and white ) connected on the switch, I used 2 pig tails for each line, when the switch light is ON, the electrical outlet doesn't work. Question WHAT is wrong? What is missing ?

What happens if you got some wall lights and cieling lights on one switch that has two toggle mecanism how do i do this

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing! 👍

Adding a ReVent 80 CFM exhaust fan to my bathroom. Current configuration has a switchplate with a switch to control the bathroom light and directly next to it a 110 standard dual outlet. If I add the switch shown here in this video, what kind of wire do i add to the box to run up to the celing exhaust fan and connect to the lightswitch shown in your video? Can you make a video showing how to do that? Or direct me to one if you have made one already? Thanks!

well when I take my face plate off I have 2 wires 1 black which is hot and 1 white which is neutral so I have no idea how to install my combo switch

How do you get the red light to stay so as to locate switch in the dark garage
