Are your circuit breakers frequently tripping? Dedicated circuits are decidedly beneficial.
- Washers
- Dryers
- Ovens
- Ranges
- Furnaces
- Air conditioning units
Dedicated circuits are recommended for:
- Most Kitchen Appliances including refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, and disposals
- Computers/ Electronics and entertainment equipment
If you are installing a major appliance in an existing room with other appliances, dedicated circuits are always a smart decision, and actually mandatory in most cases. Washer and Dryers, and pretty much any stationary appliance require a dedicated circuit, and their own outlet, because the watts they use will overload a standard branch circuit with other loads on the shared circuit.
Overloading circuits will result in circuit breakers tripping, and wiring getting hot. If the wiring overheats, there is a at risk of a fire.
