Our procedure for replacing an electrical plug begins with ensuring the power to the circuit is off at the breaker box for safety. We then remove the old plug, inspect the existing wiring for any damage or wear, and attach the new plug securely. Power is then restored, and the new plug is tested to confirm it is working correctly and safely.
