Dedicated Circuit Installation

A dedicated circuit provides a direct electrical connection from your panel to a single appliance or piece of equipment, ensuring safe, stable, and efficient power. At VB Cable and Electric, we install dedicated circuits for high-power appliances, preventing overloads, reducing breaker trips, and improving overall electrical performance.

Certain appliances, such as refrigerators, ovens, HVAC systems, and EV chargers, require their own circuit to operate safely. Without a dedicated circuit, shared power can lead to overheating, voltage drops, and potential fire hazards. Our licensed electricians assess your power needs and install properly rated circuits to keep your home or business running safely and efficiently.

  • A dedicated circuit is a separate electrical circuit that serves a single appliance or device, ensuring it has its own uninterrupted power supply. These circuits are required for high-power appliances to:

    • Prevent electrical overloads that can trip breakers.

    • Ensure stable power without fluctuations.

    • Increase safety by reducing the risk of overheating or fires.

    • Comply with electrical codes for certain appliances.

    Dedicated circuits are essential for maintaining safe and reliable electrical performance in homes and businesses.

  • Certain appliances require a dedicated circuit to operate safely and efficiently, including:

    • Kitchen appliances – Refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves.

    • Laundry equipment – Washers, dryers, and electric water heaters.

    • HVAC systems – Air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps.

    • Garage & workshop tools – Air compressors, table saws, welding machines.

    • EV chargers – Level 1 and Level 2 home charging stations.

    • Home office & entertainment systems – Servers, home theaters, and high-power sound systems.

    If your appliances share a circuit and frequently trip breakers, a dedicated circuit may be necessary.

  • Dedicated circuits provide several key benefits:

    • Prevents breaker trips and electrical overloads.

    • Ensures steady, reliable power for heavy-duty appliances.

    • Reduces the risk of overheating and electrical fires.

    • Meets local and national electrical code requirements.

    • Extends the lifespan of appliances by providing consistent voltage.

    Installing dedicated circuits protects both your electrical system and your valuable appliances.

  • The installation time depends on factors such as:

    • The location of the appliance and distance from the electrical panel.

    • Whether new wiring needs to be run through walls or ceilings.

    • The need for an electrical panel upgrade if capacity is limited.

    Most dedicated circuit installations take between a few hours to a full day, depending on the complexity of the job.

  • The cost varies based on:

    • The type of appliance being connected.

    • The length of wiring needed from the panel to the appliance.

    • The condition of your electrical panel and whether upgrades are needed.
