Dedicated Power Installation
Circuits with a Singular Purpose
A dedicated circuit is an electrical line that goes directly from your circuit breaker panel to a power supply for a specific area or device. It ensures your major appliances, devices, and electronics get enough power, and are designed to protect from electrical damage, and help prevent overload-related fires, and/or electrocution.
If you look at your electrical panel box, you should see at least a couple of circuit breakers that are labeled for a single appliance, such as a washing machine or air conditioning unit. Those particular breakers belong to dedicated circuits, which means they power just one device or appliance.

Installation of Dedicated Circuits
Dedicated circuits are commonly used for:
- Refrigerators/Freezers
- Ovens/Ranges
- Microwaves
- Dishwashers
- Garbage Disposals
- Washers/Dryers
- Heating/Air Conditioner Units
- Water Heaters/Pumps
- Hot Tubs/Saunas
- Electric Car Charging Stations
- Other Specific Areas in the Home
If you operate major appliances on a non-dedicated circuit, it’s possible they will draw more current than the circuit can handle, overheating the wiring which could eventually start a fire in your walls. Breakers that trip when you use a specific device or appliance indicate that a dedicated circuit is required.
