Blue View - How to Wire a Double Switch

An odd title, I know. My brother, who also lives here in Las Vegas, started a handyman business after he retired. It keeps him busy, generates a few extra bucks and it’s something he enjoys doing. It took him awhile to establish a clientele, but his business is now doing well, despite a lot of competition.

He undergoes shoulder surgery this week and will be out of action for 2-3 months, however. We were both afraid many of his regular customers would find alternatives if he wasn’t available for that long, so I offered to fill in for him as my schedule permitted.

One of his recent jobs was something right up my alley. His customer wanted to add a light over the sink, which not only involved installing the light fixture itself, but required running wire to it from an existing wall switch. We then added a switch to control it by changing the single toggle switch to a double.

When we finished, we thought it might be fun to make a video on how to wire a double switch. If you are interested, click here to take a look.
