Online electrical schema software: build a readable, exportable plan
An online electrical schema should clearly represent every device in a home, without forcing you into a heavy CAD tool. The goal is to start from the real floor plan, drop electrical symbols on it and ship a PDF that anyone can read.
What is an electrical schema tool for?
An electrical schema tool helps you visualize outlets, light points, switches, dedicated circuits, network inlets and safety equipment in a home.
For a house or apartment, the main need is rarely an industrial schema. What you want is a readable electrical plan on a PDF, useful for the quote, conversations with the electrician and on-site follow-up.
- Locate equipment precisely on the floor plan.
- Identify rooms and intended uses.
- Prepare an automatic legend.
- Export a shareable PDF.
Electrical schema, electrical plan and wiring plan: what is the difference?
The electrical plan shows where equipment sits in the home. The electrical schema explains how controls, circuits and connections are organized. The wiring plan focuses more on how elements connect to each other.
Planelico combines these needs for residential work: drop symbols on the PDF, add per-room zones and draw the connections you need to make the document usable.
How to pick the right online tool for residential work
For a home installation, prefer a tool that accepts a PDF floor plan, ships symbols consistent with the NF C 15-100 standard, and exports a clean document.
A generic drawing tool can work, but a specialized tool dramatically cuts the time you spend re-creating symbols, a legend and a summary.
- Direct PDF floor plan import.
- Electrical symbol library.
- Per-room and per-floor management.
- PDF export with legend.
