Adding outlets in basement
Hi,
I'm new here and have a question that hopefully is a quick answer for some of you members.
I have one outlet in my basement which is for the condensate pump. I know I can daisy chain one or more off that one, which I will be adding one more off that existing outlet. However, on the other side of my basement there are no outlets at all and it wouldn't be feasible for me to daisy-chain off the existing one all the way to the other side of the basement as it isn't framed or finished. I want to add two more outlets to the side with none there right now. Can I tap off the light switch, or ceiling light? How do I do this? I only want to use it to plug in a TV and DVD to exercise with--I have no plans for overloading the 15A circuit already in the box for the basement. I just want to know how I go about adding outlets? House is 4 years old so no old wiring, and I currently have 2 sets of ceiling lights--the left side has a 3 way switch to operate those lights (this is the side with one outlet already there), and the other side has one regular wall switch for the lights on the right--this is the side I need to add outlets.
Thanks,
