ive never installed one but im about to within the next 7 days as I build my tank.
Im under the impression is really simple. Just make sure you turn off the power to the outlet from the box. When I was a kid, I was changing the face of an outlet and got electrocuted... it was not fun... i couldnt let go and I felt waves going through my body.

Thanks for the heads up!

Cheers
