Appliance Circuit Services in Tampa and surrounding areas
Your appliances rely on your electrical system, making it crucial to ensure they operate safely and efficiently. If you find yourself tripping breakers or overloading circuits while using kitchen appliances, it may indicate that your appliances aren’t receiving adequate electricity. Major appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, and space heaters often require dedicated circuits, as mandated by the National Electrical Code.
At Power Supply Electric, our expert electricians are here to ensure you have the dedicated appliance circuits necessary to keep your home fully functional. We’ll inspect your electrical system, and if dedicated circuits are needed, we’ll install them and make any necessary wiring adjustments promptly and professionally.
What Is a Dedicated Circuit?
A dedicated circuit serves a specific purpose and has its own circuit breaker within your electrical panel, typically used for a single appliance. Because this circuit is exclusive, it provides the necessary energy without overloading your electrical system, which helps avoid blown fuses or tripped breakers.
Major appliances that require significant electricity may need their own dedicated circuits:
- 20 Amp: For medium-duty appliances like hairdryers and toasters.
- 20-50 Amp: For heavy-duty appliances such as washers and dryers, often designed to prevent power overloads.
Appliances That Need a Dedicated Circuit Include:
- Wall ovens
- Microwaves
- Freezers
- Garbage disposals
- Washers and dryers
- Heating and AC units
- Garage door openers
- Sump pumps
- Water pumps
- Whirlpools/spas
- Blow dryers
- Central vacuums
- Water heaters
- Space heaters
- Toasters
Our team can help you determine if your Tampa home needs dedicated circuits, handling every aspect of the installation.
Benefits of a Dedicated Outlet
Dedicated outlets are increasingly essential for high-demand electrical appliances. Today’s homes often use more powerful appliances than in the past. Circuit breaker boxes help protect your electrical system by distributing power evenly.
- Reduce Overloading Risks: Minimize the chances of overloading major appliances.
- Increase Productivity: Dedicated outlets prevent downtime during outages.
- Less Electrical Noise: Avoid surges or fluctuations that can damage your system.
- Lower Fire Risk: Protect against electrical fires caused by overloaded circuits.
Certain appliances, such as refrigerators, electric stoves, and HVAC systems, will likely benefit from dedicated receptacles, reducing trips and outages due to heavy energy demands.
Regular electrical inspections can uncover hidden dangers in your home.
Using a Dedicated Outlet for Your Computer System
A dedicated computer outlet functions similarly, providing exclusive power for your computer setup. This is especially important for those working from home or running a business, as it protects your equipment and documents from interruptions caused by other appliances.
