Product description
You’re drilling into the wall and afraid of hitting a wire? Don’t know which way the cable runs?
Without a wiring diagram, you’re working blindly. And that’s a risk of short circuits, fire, or electric shock. Or, at best, extra money spent on locating the wiring.
This guide is for anyone who wants to know exactly where wires and cables are located. It’s designed for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts.
What’s inside:
- What should be included in the wiring diagram — floor plan, cable routes, outlets, circuit breakers, and RCDs (residual current devices).
- How to draw the wiring diagram — on paper, in Excel, or using free software.
- How to photograph the wiring before plastering — so you don’t lose the records.
- How to store the wiring diagram — both paper and digital copies.
- What to do if you don’t have a wiring diagram — how to reconstruct it.
- Checklist — essential items to include in the wiring diagram (printable).
Why it’s important:
- Safety: You know exactly where it’s unsafe to drill.
- Cost savings: No need to call an electrician just to “trace” a circuit.
- When selling an apartment: Having a wiring diagram is a plus.
- During renovations: Your renovation crew won’t redraft everything to their own liking.
Who is this for:
- DIY enthusiasts — to avoid accidentally hitting a wire.
- Electricians — to save time searching for wires.
- People doing renovations — to document everything before plastering.
- Homeowners selling their apartment — to hand over the wiring diagram to the new owners.
