1. Wire Insulation

2. Quality Standards

Usually, house wires are made from metals like aluminium and copper. Copper is a preferred material for wires and generally, experts suggest going for copper wires for its durability and high quality. However, depending on the use, you can consult an expert for the right material type based on your usage.

3. Multiple Strands

Ensure you opt for a wire with multiple strands rather than one with a single strand.

4. Use ISI-hallmarked products

When you purchase any wire, you should check for the ISI certification to ensure its quality standards. ISI mark assures that the product is of a certain quality and safe for use.
