Dedicated circuit installation questions from Orinda customers

Which appliances require a dedicated circuit?

As a rule, anything with a motor or heating element that is fixed in place: refrigerators, dishwashers, disposals, microwaves, ranges, dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment and EV chargers.

Can my panel take another circuit?

We look at open spaces and at total load. If the panel is full but has capacity, tandem breakers or a small sub panel may be an option. If it lacks capacity, we will explain what an upgrade involves.

Most single circuits are installed in two to four hours. Long or difficult runs take more time.
