Care must be taken to
ensure the proper number and type of electrical
outlets and lights are designed into the building
for the application that is to be used. For example,
the kitchen would need a dedicated circuit for the
electric cook stove and oven, and/or one for the
refrigerator, not to mention the ground fault circuit
interrupters. Remember the attic lighting and HVAC
unit, the garage and exterior outlets. Place the
lights and switches in their proper location. Place
the light switches on the wall nearest to the door
handle for ease of access when entering a room,
if you have two entrances to a room put a switch
at each entrance, typically the living room, dining
room, family room and bed rooms would get an electrical
outlet no more than six feet apart on every wall
and at least one on a short wall. Follow your local
code requirements.
