    While planning for a domestic electrical wiring, the following
    points are to be kept in mind
    • Select the type of wiring (depends on nature of load, cost,
    safety, appearance and life of the wiring.
    • The location of fan, lighting and heating points are to be
    finalized.
    • All runs of wirings, exact position of switch boxes and out
    lets are to be marked.
    • A layout of power distribution has to be prepared.
