Yes, this is a husband/wife discussion. :) We are moving outlets and the discussion is whether it needs to be placed "2 feet" above the floor for a "baseboard" and "four feet" above the floor for a wall switch. I think the baseboard only needs to go up 3 or 4 inches and the wall switch can go anywhere as long as it is accessible and not near water. We wanted to get some things ready before our electrician comes to save some time and $. Can you clarify actual recommended height placement? THANK YOU!!!

If your electrical inspector is ok with the placement of your current receptacles then you are good to go.

both answers you got previously are wrong receps are 12 in to center and switches are 48 in to center unless in basement or garage then switches and receps are 48 in to center and that is according to the nec (national electrical code)
