Safe, Reliable Power for Your Appliances
If you live in a home built in the 1980s, it’s wired to meet the needs of that time period. The average American home used approximately 8,800 kilowatt-hours (kWh) back then. Today, though, rising demands have most American households using between 10,000 to 12,000 kWh.
Upgrading your electrical system requires an electrician to install a dedicated outlet. This is a proven technique for preventing overloads and reducing your fire risk. Furthermore, it ensures you are fully code-compliant and receive appliance efficiency.
It’s also necessary if you’ve purchased a new appliance with voltage demands that are higher than your circuits can handle. Essentially, if your appliances and/or lights aren’t working properly, it may be time to install a dedicated circuit.
You need a heavy appliance circuit installed if:
- Your outlets feel warm
- Your outlets have discoloration
- Your circuit breakers frequently trip
- Your lights flicker or dim
Properly Wired Circuits for Heavy-Duty Use
Properly wired circuits use correctly sized wires, suitable circuit protection and a dedicated circuit. Rather than placing several appliances onto one circuit, a dedicated circuit uses a single circuit per appliance. For instance, you could have a dedicated circuit for workshop tools, dryers, electric ovens and air conditioning units.
You need an electrician to install a dedicated outlet, and our professionals at Yost & Campbell have the proper training and experience for heavy-duty appliance wiring. We also thrive on providing excellent service in a timely manner.
