Dedicated Circuit Installation Overview
A dedicated circuit is a breaker and a wire run that feed one appliance and nothing else, so a freezer, a microwave or a space heater never shares its power with the rest of the room. We add 120-volt, 20-amp circuits for kitchens, garages, laundries, home offices and appliances, and 240-volt circuits for dryers, ranges, mini-splits and shop equipment, from a new breaker in your panel to a labeled outlet or disconnect where you need it.
-
One Appliance, One Breaker
No more trips when the microwave and the toaster run at the same time.
-
120 V and 240 V
20-amp circuits for appliances and outlets; 30- to 50-amp circuits for dryers, ranges and equipment.
-
Load Checked First
We confirm your panel has the room and the capacity before we add anything.
When To Schedule a Dedicated Circuit
A shared circuit trips when too much runs on it at once. Book a dedicated circuit when any of these apply:

Electrical Standards
Dedicated Circuit NEC Code Requirements
New circuits in North Carolina homes follow the National Electrical Code as the state adopts it, and every one is sized to the load it serves.
NEC 210.11(C)
1. Kitchen and Laundry Circuits
Kitchens need at least two 20-amp small-appliance circuits, and the laundry needs a 20-amp circuit of its own.
NEC Ref: 210.11(C)
Two or more 20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits shall be provided for the kitchen, pantry, breakfast room and dining room receptacles, and at least one 20-ampere branch circuit shall supply the laundry receptacle outlets.
NEC 210.11(C)(4)

NEC Ref: 210.11(C)(4)
At least one 120-volt, 20-ampere branch circuit shall be installed to supply receptacle outlets in attached garages and in detached garages with electric power.

The wire must be rated for the breaker that protects it: 12 AWG copper on 20 amps, 10 AWG on 30 amps.

Small conductors shall not be protected at more than 15 amperes for 14 AWG, 20 amperes for 12 AWG and 30 amperes for 10 AWG copper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Common questions from Raleigh homeowners about dedicated circuits.
Still have questions?
Our Raleigh electrical experts are here to help you every step of the way.
Real People. Real Answers.
We're here when you need us.
How much does a dedicated circuit cost in Raleigh?
It depends on the distance from the panel, the size of the circuit and the room in your panel, so we price each one on site after a free estimate, in writing before any work. Regular services have a $180 minimum.
Which appliances need a dedicated circuit?
Microwaves, dishwashers, disposals, refrigerators and freezers, dryers, ranges and cooktops, water heaters, mini-splits and most shop equipment. The appliance's installation guide says which circuit it needs.
What is the difference between a 120-volt and a 240-volt circuit?
A 120-volt, 20-amp circuit feeds standard outlets and most kitchen appliances. A 240-volt circuit, usually 30 to 50 amps, feeds dryers, ranges, mini-splits, welders and EV chargers.
Is my panel big enough for another circuit?
We check both the open spaces and the load before we quote. If the panel is full or near its limit, we explain the options: a sub-panel, load management or a panel upgrade.
Do I need a permit for a new circuit?
When the work needs a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspection, so you do not have to deal with the city or county yourself.
Can you add a circuit for an EV charger or a hot tub?
Yes. Those circuits have their own pages and their own prices: see our EV charger installation and hot tub wiring services.
