⚡ DEDICATED CIRCUITS & APPLIANCE WIRING

Dedicated Circuits & Appliance Wiring for Your Home

When it comes to powering the modern home, having safe, reliable, and properly installed electrical circuits is essential. Many major household appliances require dedicated circuits to operate safely without overloading your electrical system. At Dan Matthews Electric, we provide expert Dedicated Circuit Installation, Appliance Wiring, and Home Electrical Upgrades throughout Morgan Hill, Gilroy, San Jose, Hollister, and surrounding areas.

With 7 years of residential electrician experience, backed by 35+ years of advanced electronics troubleshooting, Dan delivers professional-grade workmanship with the technical precision required for today’s demanding electrical loads. As a licensed California electrician (License #102855) and FCC General Class License holder, all work is personally performed or directly supervised to ensure code-compliant installation, full safety, and dependable long-term performance.

Why Dedicated Circuits Matter

Major appliances draw significantly more power than standard lighting or outlets. Plugging these high-demand appliances into shared circuits can lead to:

  • Breaker tripping
  • Overheating wires
  • Equipment failure
  • Increased fire risk
  • Damage to your home’s electrical system

A dedicated circuit ensures that a major appliance operates independently, without competing for electrical load with other devices. If you’ve added new appliances, remodeled your kitchen, or expanded your home’s power usage over the years, upgrading your circuits may be essential for safety and performance.
