It’s not illegal for home owners to do their own work or they
wouldn’t sell supplies at the hardware store. Your best bet to
jump off for power without a new breaker on your panel is
either an existing 110v receptical or a light switch. You need a
neutral to go back to the panel to balance any load safely and
a live all the time hot for your vacuum to charge. On top of
that you need a ground connected both to the outlet box and
the ground screw on the receptacle. If you tap into a light
switch , the white neutrals are likely wire nutted together so
you’ll need to join in with that. If there’s no neutral at the
switch at all (could be both a white and black on the switch)
then the power is fed to the light then sent down to the switch
then back up to the light. If that’s the case then you can grab
all 3 needed lines at the light. If not then the hot feeding the
switch will need to be unhooked, then make a 6” long jumper
to refeed the switch and join that with feed you took off your
switch and also with your hot going out to your new receptical.
Use a set of pliers to tightly and neatly twist your wires
together before putting the wire nuts on and make sure
there’s no bare wire visible except your ground. All
connections need to be tight,make nice neat hooks under
your receptical screws not just jabbed underneath. If all of this
doesn’t make perfect sense and is easy then ask a
professional to do it for you. Loose connections cause arking
which can cause a fire when your least expecting. Improper
grounding can cause a potentially fatal shock to an innocent
person. It might only be 110-120V but there can be enough
current to kill.
