What needs power?
Count the everyday stuff first — outlets and lights.
General outlets
Bedrooms, living areas, hallways (120V)
Light fixtures
Ceiling lights, cans, vanity bars
Rule of thumb: up to 10 outlets per 15A circuit, 12 fixtures per lighting circuit.
Kitchen, baths & big stuff
These get dedicated circuits — code says so.
Kitchen counter outlets
Needs 2 dedicated 20A circuits if any
Bathrooms
1 dedicated 20A circuit each
240V appliances
Range, dryer, water heater, AC (2 spaces each)
