Editorial Policy
Last updated: 14 November 2026.
Home Circuitry HQ publishes plain-language guides on home wiring, networking, home theater and EV charging circuits. This page describes how we work.
Who writes the guides
Articles are published under the byline of the Home Circuitry HQ Editorial Team, a desk byline rather than a named individual. The desk holds no electrical licence and we never claim one. We do not invent people or credentials. If a guide is reviewed by a qualified person, the byline will say who and when.
How we check electrical content
- Electrical content is checked against the NEC (NFPA 70) and the IRC electrical chapters, ESFI, CPSC and manufacturer installation instructions. Numbers and code references are linked in the article’s Sources section.
- Code rules vary by edition (2017, 2020, 2023) and by local amendment, so our guides say what the NEC generally requires and tell you to check what your jurisdiction has adopted. We never give a pass or fail verdict on someone’s home.
- Every how-to that opens an enclosure starts with a safety block: power off at the breaker, verify dead with a tester, lock out and tag, and a “stop and call a licensed electrician” list.
When you need a licensed electrician
Work beyond like-for-like replacement needs a licensed electrician and a permit. That includes anything inside the panel, new circuits, service changes, EV charger circuits and 240 V work. Our guides explain and inform; they do not give panel-internal DIY steps.
The site does not replace a licensed electrician
Everything on Home Circuitry HQ is general information. It does not replace a licensed electrician or your local authority having jurisdiction. Electrical work can cause fire, shock and death.
Independence and money
We do not currently use affiliate links, sponsored posts or paid placements. If that changes, affiliate links will be marked and disclosed above the first link, and editorial decisions will stay separate from commercial ones.
Corrections and updates
When we find a factual error we correct it and update the “Updated” date, which we only change for meaningful content changes. To report a problem, email info@homecircuitryhq.com or use our contact page.
AI and automation
Where tools help us draft or illustrate content, a person is responsible for checking it before publication. Wiring diagrams, charts and calculations are drawn and verified accurately rather than generated.
