A novel system for installing, wiring and controlling electrical outlets is disclosed. The system includes a mounting bracket, a self-contained receptacle, and an option control module. The mounting bracket has preconfigured embedded conductors to facilitate the mounting of electrical outlets thereto. The self-contained receptacle includes a self-contained electrical outlet having face-mounted counter bored connecting screws for electrically connecting the self-contained receptacle to the embedded conductors of the mounting bracket. The optional control module may wirelessly receive instructions for controlling an electrical output of the self-contained receptacle.
