Hi folks. My wife and I have recently purchased an older home which we intend and need to renovate. One big item is the electrical, most of the house only has two prong receptacles and those that have the ground are questionable.
I intend to do as much of the electrical on my own as I can, short of the electrical panel. I have not done anything with electrical, other than light fixtures, since high school. However, I am confident with good advice and patience, I will succeed
I am having the panel upgraded from a 70A to 200A service and a new 48 connection panel. I have plenty of room on the panel to have each room in the house on a separate circuit as well as the major appliances.
My big question is how many receptacles must I have in each room. I have heard that there is a requirement for a receptacle every x feet. Is this correct and if so, what is x? I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Also, if you have any general advice, I am more than happy to listen.
Thanks in advance!
