Tips and Tricks  Route wires in strategic areas so homeowners and other trades are less likely to pierce through a wire.  If possible, perform work after the other trades, i.e. HVAC and plumbing, have completed.  Wire receptacles around the screw instead of backstabbing.  Use properly maintained tools, i.e. sharp blades.  Ensure a tight connection between light sockets and light bulb bases.  Do not overload circuit with excessive amounts of electronics.
