the height will depend on local building codes' requirements and also what time of outlet (ground, countertop for kitchen and bath, and ceiling such as in garage doors). Typically wall outlets are 16 inches on center from the finish floor.

The electrical code does not state an exact height. Common distances from the floor to a wall receptacle is 12" to center. Wall switches are usually placed at 48" to center.
