Frequently Asked Questions
What appliances need a dedicated circuit?
Air conditioners, EV chargers, electric ranges, dryers, hot tubs, microwaves, and sump pumps typically require dedicated circuits per code.
Why does my AC trip the breaker?
An AC on a shared circuit will trip when it starts. A dedicated circuit sized to the AC's load solves this and protects the compressor.
Can you add a circuit if my panel is full?
Yes. We can install tandem breakers, add a subpanel, or recommend a panel upgrade if you're out of space.
