In this case, it will be necessary to make special grooves in the wall - shoes and lay the wiring in them. The gasket is carried out on strictly vertical or horizontal lines. Next, it is necessary to determine the exact amount of energy consumers. It is necessary to take into account not only the outlet and lighting, but all the instruments and mechanisms requiring individual connection. The calculation is made for each room separately. In determining the number of energy consumers, it is necessary to consider the prospects for connecting additional electrical appliances in the future.

Do not forget about the external lighting of the house, somewhere may need to install an outdoor outlet.

The next step is as a detailed scheme of the wiring of the country house as possible and the calculation of the amount of necessary materials. The wiring is better to design separately for lighting and for outlets. The load in these consumers is different and in the case of which it will be easier to find a malfunction. The central machine must be connected to the junction box. It uses automata for consumers. If the cottage is a multi-storey, then each floor requires a separate connection. To simplify the design, it is best to connect each room separately from the rest. As a result, two automaton will have to each room - the first on the socket, the second to light. This will improve security - a short closure of wiring in one of the rooms will not affect others.
