How do I install a toggle switch?

To install a toggle switch, you'll need a few tools: a screwdriver, wire strippers, and electrical tape. Do you have these?

Yes, I have them. What's the first step?

First, turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box to ensure safety. Then, remove the old switch if there is one.

Got it! What do I do next?

Next, connect the wires to the toggle switch. Typically, you'll connect the black wire to the brass terminal and the white wire to the silver terminal.

And how do I finish up?

Once the wires are connected, carefully tuck them back into the electrical box, secure the switch with screws, and then turn the power back on.
