Why would my son's bedroom wall be very warm to the touch with no outlet's even near?
If it's an exterior wall it could use more insulation in it to block the sun's heat or in winter the cold. Or if it's near a kitchen or bathroom it could be the heat from the hot water pipe. Also wall receptacles do not get hot unless over loaded. How long has it been hot? I noticed it 2 days ago. It's in my son's bedroom, right next to where he sleeps, of all places. So I'm concerned. It's about a 2' x 2' area and it is an exterior wall. There are no outlet's on that wall at all.
How do you wire a double outlet to a lightswitch?
Bring power into the switch box with a 12/2 or 14/2 wire and send power from there to the wall outlet with another 12/2 or 14/2 wire depending on the circuit. 12/2 for 20 amp and 14/2 for 15 amp circuit. You will now have 2 sets of wires in the switch box. Connect all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all the ground wires together and attach them to the green ground screw on the switch. Connect the black wire from the power source to one of the screws on the switch, does not matter which one. Then connect the black wire going to the outlet to the other screw on the switch. Put the switch back in the box and install the cover. At the wall outlet connect the ground to green ground screw, white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw on one of the outlets. Run 3jumper wires from all three of those screws to the other outlet in the box. Ground to ground, black to gold, and white to silver screws. Put it in the box and install the cover.How_do_you_wire_a_outlet_to_work_from_a_light_switch
How do you get electricity to a wall switch when getting electircity from an outlet?
Simply run a wire from that outlet to that wall switch. Be sure you use the exact same wire size that you find in that outlet. It will be AWG 12/2 or 14/2. Do not mixes wire sizes. Connect the ground to green ground screw at outlet, and white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw. At the light switch connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw on the switch. Now connect the 2 black wires you have left, power in and power out, to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which wires you connect to the 2 screws.
