Are Your Appliances on the Right Circuits? Here’s Why It Matters.
Ever plug in a microwave or air fryer and trip a breaker? Or notice your laundry machine dims the lights when it starts? These are signs your appliances might not be on the right circuits—and that can lead to both inconvenience and electrical risk.
That’s why our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection includes a dedicated Appliance Circuit Load Check, ensuring your major appliances are powered safely, efficiently, and to code.
What Is an Appliance Circuit Load Check?
Our skilled and licensed electricians will:
- Review which appliances are connected to which breakers
- Check for proper breaker sizing based on the appliance’s electrical demand
- Verify the presence of dedicated circuits for major appliances
- Look for signs of overloaded or shared circuits
- Recommend circuit upgrades where necessary for safety and performance
Appliances we check include:
- Ovens and stovetops
- Fridges and freezers
- Dishwashers and garbage disposals
- Washers and dryers
- Microwaves
- Hot tubs and HVAC units
- Electric vehicle chargers
- Any other high-draw equipment
Why This Step Is So Important
Appliances pull a lot of power—and if they’re not on properly sized or dedicated circuits, you risk:
- Overheating wires behind your walls
- Breaker tripping and sudden power cuts
- Electrical fires from overloaded systems
- Damaged appliances or shortened lifespan
We want your systems to work hard—but only if they’re wired smart and wired safe.
