In short. A new electrical installation is prepared before the visit: a plan, how each room is used, the appliances you expect. In Oujda, Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with an electrician: free personalised quote, payment after the service.
Five words worth knowing
You do not have to become an electrician, but these terms will come up in the conversation.
A lighting point: the spot where a lamp or ceiling light is fixed, controlled by a switch.
A socket: a supply point for an appliance. Say how many appliances you plan to plug in in the room, not only how many sockets you want.
A circuit: a group of sockets or lights fed by the same line. The professional sizes it according to what it feeds.
The electrical panel: the cabinet where the current arrives and from which the circuits leave. It is not something to handle yourself.
A powerful appliance: an oven, a water heater, an air conditioner, a heater. A dedicated line may be needed, and only the professional decides.
The worked example: an apartment to fit out
An imagined case. Omar has just bought an apartment in Oujda, the capital of the Oriental region in the north-east of the country. The walls are redone and the wiring has to be run afresh. Omar calls an electrician having prepared very little, and the first visit turns into questions he cannot answer.
So he starts over. He sketches a simple plan of the apartment, even freehand, room by room. In each room he notes where he expects to put the bed, the sofa, the desk, the cooker. He lists the appliances he wants to plug in: fridge, washing machine, television, computer, possibly a water heater.
What the electrician will need from you
- A plan, however rough, with approximate room sizes and the position of doors and windows.
- How each room is used and the furniture planned, to decide where sockets and switches go.
- The list of appliances, especially the most powerful.
- The starting point: new build, renovated, or an existing panel you want to keep. Say whether you have documents about the current installation.
- Your schedule: before or after painting, before or after the kitchen units go in.
- Access to the home: floor, keys, possible times.
An electrician who receives these details can offer a fairer quote, and you avoid surprises once the walls are closed up.
What is best left to the professional
Sizing the circuits, choosing the protection, bringing the panel into service and any connection are professional work. If you have already pulled wires or fitted conduit yourself, say so: the electrician will have to check before going on. Do not connect anything new until they have been.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare before the electrician's first visit?
A simple plan, how each room is used, the list of appliances and your work schedule. Even a hand sketch helps.
Do I need to know the power rating of my appliances?
No, but say which ones you have, especially the large ones. The professional uses them to size the installation.
Can I start laying conduit myself?
Better to talk to the electrician first. If you have already started, say so: they will check before continuing.
Should I buy the materials before the visit?
Not necessarily. Ask the professional what they supply and what they expect from you, and agree it in writing.
