No, We can't use carbon to make the wires for household usage.
1) For the wires, we need a material which is a good conductor, so that it will have the proper flow of the current.
2) All the allotropes of carbon except Graphite is a bad conductor of electricity. And we can't use graphite in wires as it is brittle in nature.

Answer:
No, we can't and shouldn't respectively.
Explanation:
We can't, as carbon is not ductile so we can't make wires out of it. And we shouldn't because it's resistivity is higher than any other metals that we use for wiring. so if we use it, it will cause heating because of its higher resistance for same length of wire.
