Is Your Home’s Electrical System Ready for Modern Appliances?

/in /by

Modern homes are packed with appliances that make life easier—refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers, microwaves, hot tubs, and even electric vehicle chargers. But are your appliances running on the right circuits? Using the wrong circuit can lead to tripped breakers, dimming lights, damaged devices, and even fire hazards.

At Wicks Electric, we make sure your appliances are powered safely, efficiently, and according to code. Part of our comprehensive 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection includes a thorough Appliance Circuit Load Check, ensuring your home’s electrical system can handle the demands of modern living.

What Is an Appliance Circuit Load Check?

During an inspection, our licensed electricians will:

  • Review which appliances are connected to which breakers
  • Verify that breakers are correctly sized for each appliance’s electrical demand
  • Check for dedicated circuits on major appliances
  • Identify overloaded or shared circuits
  • Recommend upgrades to improve safety and performance

We check circuits for a variety of appliances, including:

  • Refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and stovetops
  • Dishwashers and garbage disposals
  • Washers and dryers
  • Microwaves and small kitchen appliances
  • Hot tubs, HVAC units, and electric vehicle chargers
  • Any other high-draw equipment

Why Proper Circuits Are Essential

Appliances require a lot of power. If they aren’t connected to appropriately sized or dedicated circuits, you could face:

  • Overheated wires hidden in walls
  • Frequent breaker trips and sudden outages
  • Electrical fires from overloaded systems
  • Premature wear or damage to your appliances

Having circuits properly installed not only protects your home but also helps your appliances run efficiently and last longer.

Upgrading or Renovating?

If you’re renovating your kitchen, adding a laundry room, or building a new suite, it’s the perfect time to plan dedicated appliance circuits. Wicks Electric can help map out your electrical layout, install new circuits, and ensure your breakers match the power requirements of each appliance.
