EQ: How can an electrician best wire a house?
Answer 3: The electrician should constantly refer to electrical schematics to ensure accuracy and reduce the time it takes to complete a project.
Examples:
1) When doing repair, schematics can really help shorten the troubleshooting phase of the repair to help locate the problem faster.
2) From my own experience I have found that it has been easier to draw a schematic of what you want before beginning to wire your circuit. It also creates less of a mess.
3) Schematics also show you the different paths of the equipment and it helps efficiency.
