Why Choosing the Right Wiring Matters
Every switch you turn on, every appliance you use, it all depends on the quality of wiring behind your walls.
Poor-quality or undersized wiring can lead to:
- Overheating and fire hazards

- Frequent tripping and appliance damage
That’s why selecting the right cable type and size is critical, and this is where Universal Cables helps you make the right decision with high-performance, low voltage cables designed for residential use.
Recommended Wire Sizes for House Wiring
Choosing the right wire size is essential for safe performance and long-term reliability. Below is a simple guide to help you understand which cable size is ideal for different areas of your home:
Size (Imperial) | Size (Metric Equivalent) | Recommended Usage |
3/29 | 1.5 mm² | Ideal for fans, lights, and energy savers. Ensures smooth operation of low-load circuits. |
7/29 | 2.5 mm² | Best for power sockets such as irons, juicers, mobile chargers, and refrigerators. Handles moderate load safely. |
7/36 | 4.0 mm² | Suitable for 1–1.5 ton AC units and main circuit breaker connections. Provides stable performance under higher load. |
