Common Questions
Dedicated Circuit FAQ
What appliances need a dedicated circuit?
Electric ranges, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, microwaves, garbage disposals, EV chargers, hot tubs, HVAC equipment, and high-draw workshop tools all typically require dedicated circuits per the NEC.
How do I know if I need a dedicated circuit?
A breaker that trips when you run a specific appliance, lights that dim when something turns on, or an appliance manual that specifies a dedicated circuit are all clear signs. Call us and we'll diagnose it.
How long does it take to add a dedicated circuit?
Most installs take 1–3 hours depending on distance from the panel, wall/attic accessibility, and whether the panel has open slots. If the panel is full, we can discuss options.
Do I need a permit to add a dedicated circuit?
For EV chargers, hot tubs, and subpanels, yes — permits are typically required in Kansas and Missouri. We handle permitting when required and let you know upfront.
What if my panel is full?
Options include tandem breakers to free up space, adding a subpanel for a specific area, or a full panel upgrade. We'll assess and recommend the most practical solution for your situation.
