When you are installing new electrical appliances in your home, you may need to hire an electrician to place new dedicated circuits around your property. Dedicated circuits are electrical circuits that are designed specifically to handle the larger electrical requirements of major appliances, such as refrigerators and dishwashers. Your residential electrician in San Jose can help you install and maintain dedicated circuits throughout your property.
Dedicated circuits are unique, because they are equipped with their own circuit breakers. If the circuit becomes overloaded, the dedicated circuit breaker will immediately switch off. By providing appliances with their own circuit breakers, dedicated circuits are able to help prevent the overload of your home’s main electrical panel. Each major electrical appliance in your home is required by national code to be connected to its own dedicated circuit. Some examples of appliances that need dedicated circuits include wall ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and garbage disposals.
