Before you work on your own wiring!
In most jurisdictions a codes inspection will not be required for a simple remove and replace procedure, but you should check with your local code authority (call your electric service provider) and get an inspection if it is required. It is possible that in some jurisdictions it is not legal for anyone except a licensed Electrician to perform any kind of wiring job. It is also possible (even likely) that in the event that your home were to burn down because of defective work that has not been inspected, that your insurance could be void. Find out before you proceed!Always turn off the electricity to whatever you are working on!
DO NOT rely on the labels in the electrical panel, they are often wrong or incomplete. Do whatever it takes to be 100% certain that the electricity is off before you do any electrical work!
