Adding / Extending Circuits
Did You Know
- Your existing electrical might not be up to current codes. Some appliances require their own dedicated load such as a microwave and toaster because they require more power.
- For smaller loads such as computers and televisions, they can be added to an existing circuit.
- The cost to adding a circuit will depend on the location. A circuit added into an existing bay will be cheaper than a circuit that has limited space and may require cutting a hole into the wall or ceiling.
