How to install a dimmer and or replace a light switch

[GrahamScottSmith]

How do you attach a ground wire from the dimmer switch, if there is not one present in the wall?

@GrahamScottSmith If you don't see s ground wire you should have a metal box and perhaps a older house. Or your wire is a the BX type. If you do have a metal box once you secure the switch or outlet to the box it's grounded. However a extra wire screwed into the box is always a good idea

I think I can actually do this!!! Thank you so much! It stinks being single female and having to call someone for help with basic projects. I'll just keep repeating, "power OFF, power OFF!!"

Thanks for the video. Very helpful for a novice DIY'er like me. Wish I could be your apprentice in order to learn more from you. Keep up the good work.

okay maybe a dumb question but does it mean a dimmer would save more electricity/money vs a regular switch ??

Here in the US they are called "Wire Nuts" I didn't know that about the UK.
