Are you planning to purchase a large appliance, new power tools or specialized equipment?

In today’s world of advanced technology, it’s hard to know which tools and appliances require its own circuit. Here are a few tips for deciding whether it’s time to invest in a new dedicated circuit installation.

Reasons for Using Dedicated Circuits

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

When someone in your home uses too many electrical tools, appliances or equipment on a single circuit, it can cause many problems. An overloaded circuit will most often be shutdown by your breaker. However, relying on your panel box isn’t a solution. Consistent overloads could wear down your system, cause extensive damage to the appliances plugged into the circuit and in some instances, could even trigger a dangerous fire. When an appliance has its own dedicated circuit, there’s no need for your power-hungry device to compete for energy and your electrical system will remain healthy, safe and effective.

Common Appliances That Require a Dedicated Circuit

If your tool, appliance or device requires the use of a motor, or is used for cooking at heat, then it probably needs a dedicated circuit. Examples include refrigerators and freezers, ovens and electrical ranges, furnaces, laundry appliances, garbage disposals, microwaves, air conditioner units, bathroom heaters and dishwashers. In addition, critical appliances like sump pumps, water heaters, furnaces and refrigerators should also be connected to a dedicated circuit to prevent flooding, freezing or spoiled food.

How to Check for Existing Dedicated Circuits in Your Home

Most new homes will automatically have dedicated circuits in areas where large appliances are used, such as kitchens and laundry rooms. However, if you live in a historic home or previously owned property, you may need to check to ensure dedicated circuits are present where needed. Your service panel, aka breaker box, should have labels explaining which circuits are dedicated. If you notice that two appliances are listed on the same breaker, then you need to install a dedicated circuit as soon as possible to prevent problems. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have the appropriate dedicated circuits installed to meet codes and ordinances before selling your house.
