Typically not enough.




Seriously, are you talking about a 1000 sqft house built in 1920 or a 1600sqft one from 2020?

Any. Define the house you choose to describe. But I suggest recent homes.

Are there typical new US homes anymore? I see small inner city homes popping up and very large homes on farmers fields.

Gar, have you tried to come up with your own answer using the applicable code articles?

It's hard for us to define a typical house when you can't.

Last house I did had 80 something receptacles, 30 something SP switches, (14) 3-way switches, 109 recessed lights, 14-16 sconce lights, 5 chandeliers, 6 ceiling fans, 6 flood lights, one 200A main panel, one 200A subpanel, one generator interlock, one generator inlet, two ground rods

and a partridge in a pear tree!

Thank you. You understood my question. What sq-footage was the home, and was there a basement.

Larry Fine:

I don't really need to define a typical home. You can pick on any size home and describe it.

Roger:

What has code to do my question other than define minimums.


General comments.

As one changes the size of a home the number of devices used will vary. Furthermore the number of devices in the 1910 and 1920s for a given size home would be grossly different than for today.

Total finished square footage was about 3,200
