Can you provide an additional example of a residential wiring plan?

Check out this other residential wiring plan as an example.
Okay, besides the fact that it resembles a liberal rainbow, it’s actually a very simple diagram.
Seems more like a finished product to me
Haha, yeah I call it that too! I’m the Forman for the commercial electrical company where I work.
🍝 At least it’s color coordinated. Lop
You know, I haven’t heard someone use the term “lack of potential” since Oklahoma City in 2014, when we were talking about a mutual friend, .
Why are there multiple circuits for the outlets in the rooms?
Is a businessman dabbling in residential projects
Having multiple circuits in a room is really smart. It ensures that if one circuit goes out, you’ll still have some light.
Why wouldn’t you, ?
Do you have any plugs?
I agree with , having the lights and outlets on separate circuits is a good idea. There’s no need for two circuits for outlets in one room.
That’s exactly how I approached my last residential wiring project – .
What’s the deal with only having one circuit for each bedroom, ?
I’ve seen it too and it cracked me up 😂
Eorge Rogato it would definitely be the wiser choice and save a lot of wiring
It really varies. I’ve worked on many custom smart homes and some people like having separate circuits for their gaming setup, office equipment, printers, and so on. Some people have the budget for it, even if it’s not necessary. They just want everything dedicated for no particular reason.
Just curious if that’s what they intended. I would have put each room on its own circuit, but everyone has their own preferences.
Most houses tend to be like that….
Shhhhh, we actually enjoy selling them more 😉
Thank you! I’ve been curious about how these diagrams looked.
I’m done with taking screenshots of it 🤣
I live here and here’s a picture of an upstairs plan we had to sketch by hand. It’s simpler with fewer circuits. I don’t have a picture of the bottom half. There are a few things I would change on their blueprint, but it’s not too different from this one.
I guess I’ll share mine tomorrow 😂
Way improved
That one seems very authentic, this guy’s is ridiculous
Doesn’t a bedroom have to have a closet to be considered a bedroom, ? Or am I missing something haha
This design was really bad for a couple of airbnbs, the drilling was a total nightmare.
Especially the loft area that looks over the living room, haha
I’m not entirely sure about the classification of that, but if there’s a closet, you need a smoke detector because it could potentially be turned into living space or something like that.
Wait… did you all receive drawings?
Also seems to have gotten some crayons.
Oh look, crayons!
It’s so simple even a caveman could manage it.
Reat job! I also plan out my new construction projects in advance
That’s not acceptable
That idea might work if it’s not engineered. The majority of our projects need individual circuits for each room.
: I was just about to mention that! It doesn’t make sense to have outlets on different circuits in the same bedroom.
In the mid 90s, I worked with a guy who did something like that. He ran 14 to the lighting circuits and 12 to the outlets, catching all plugs on the same wall. But then I discovered you could put lights and outlets on the same circuit, and I was like, no more of that separated nonsense for me!
This is the cake I completed today lol
Simply connect it with a wire!

Seriously, how many times are you all going to share this same thing
Thank you. Here’s a photo of a tile.
Why does it matter?
And? What’s your point?
If you need a wiring plan for a house, just let me know.
Chuckles like an architect
Residential drawings? That’s new.
That sounds absurd.
You know, you can use just about anything as a ruler.
Thinking he’s a big shot.
Haha, a residential wiring plan, right?
This really makes it easier to track problems during hotcheck or a service call. I made sure to do that on all of my jobsites. It also helps to confirm circuits aren’t overloaded during the rough QC.
Ever wonder how women do their grocery shopping?
It’s quite useful, actually. Make sure to sketch out the circuits and mark them once they’re connected – especially if there are multiple people working on the project. Keeping a record on file really comes in handy when you need to troubleshoot for warranty purposes. This saves a lot of time. We used to do this mainly for homes that were 10,000 sq ft and larger. It was definitely valuable, especially at that time.
Wow, that’s a pretty clean print, especially considering all the last-minute changes.
Why do you need plans for wiring houses?
Start with the basics, then add some extra flair.
That’s the way to connect for a beginner 😂
No issue with that
Simple
Do you all have any plans?
Seems pretty simple.
Why do you guys have to make it seem so complicated?
Here’s a little reminder on how to wire a 3 way switch, complete with a colorful drawing by my 7 year old! 😂😂
Wait until you see industrial drawings lol.
Yeah, but seriously, how many symbols do you actually need for a diplex?
Back in the 80s, I wired a three-story house for a client who wanted vertical receptacles. Can you believe that? But hey, he’s the one paying, so I did it his way except for a couple of rooms.
I’d be really impressed if you could explain the purpose of this.
It’s like more of a vibe than a strategy
We used to follow NEC guidelines with the blueprints only serving as a general reference. Unless it was a large-scale hotel or condominium, we would base it on something in this picture.
You need to improve your skills
My friends, Ryan and Sudge, are color blind.
Looks similar to the blueprints I used for mobile homes, which had all the circuits laid out – pretty neat!
This reminds me of the old-school wiring in my hometown, each room having its own circuit. Pretty funny, right?
Sorry if that seems complicated…
I don’t think so.

This isn’t the smartest way to do it, but it’s budget-friendly
