Electrical – Overview

It’s time to rough in the electrical, which involves the following:

• Installing the panel
• Mounting the HRV unit
• Installing the electrical boxes
• Wiring the feeder circuit
• Wiring the branch circuits

The dome's low energy requirements allow for a much smaller panel capacity and fewer circuits than shown in this chapter. What’s shown is an overkill application with increased capacity for a hot tub and additional circuits for redundancy.

Branch circuits as installed in the panel (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):

• Lighting
• Upstairs Outlets + TV
• Fridge / Utility Closet Outlets
• Downstairs Outlets
• Microwave Outlet
• Bathroom Outlets
• Countertop Outlet #1
• Dedicated (right) Outlet (HVAC?)
• Countertop Outlet #2 + Under Sink
• Countertop Outlet #3
• Dedicated (left) Outlet (HVAC?)
• Outdoor Outlets
• [2 spare breakers]
• Water Heater (240V - 30A)
• HVAC (240V - 20A)
• Hot Tub (240V - 50A)

Expect to spend ~3 weeks doing the work outlined in this chapter.
