When wiring a home, where should the home run circuits terminate when they leave the load center?

Many times new helpers or electricians, take the home run circuit to a wall plug or to the ceiling mounted light fixture outlet box. This is fine and it works. But when years go by and you decide to do some remodeling or have an electrical problem, you end up moving furniture to check plugs trying to find the home run circuit because no one remembers where it is.

Here is a simple suggestion. First run the home run from the panel to the switch in the room then take it around the room as you need to. This way you will hardly ever have to move the furniture and you will always know where the home run is. Trust me, this will save you a lot of back pains.
