240-VOLT CIRCUITS OR 120-VOLT CIRCUITS
To begin diagnosing what kind of circuit you’ll need, a good place to start is by going with what you have now. If you’re replacing an oven or a range, and the old circuit worked for the last range. Typically, that will still work for the new range. They often have the same approximate wattage. But do remember that this isn’t always the case. Sometimes you may need to add a new dedicated 240-volt circuit for a larger range or oven if you’re significantly upgrading.
120-Volt Electrical Circuit:
- Washing machines
- Treadmills
- Exercise equipment
- Refrigerator
- Kitchen outlets
- Sump pump
- Garage outlets (Power tools)
240-Volt Electrical Circuit:
- Hot tubs
- Electrical charging stations
- Electrical vehicle ranges
- Double Ovens
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS FOR CAR CHARGING STATIONS
If you’re in the market for an electrical vehicle, you need to remember you’ll need an electrical charging station for that vehicle too. When it comes to car charging stations, you can technically have both a 120 or a 240-volt circuit. But the larger the circuits, 240-volts versus 120-volts is always going to give you a quicker charge. Basically, the higher the voltage, the faster you’re charge. A 240-volt circuit best supports most of the better electrical vehicle chargers that run in the 40-to-60-amp range. And this will charge your vehicle in the four-to-six-hour timeframe (overnight) quite easily.
OTHER TIMES YOU’LL NEED A LARGER CIRCUIT
If you’re wondering what size circuits you need in your home for various appliances and items, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our professionals are very knowledgeable in all these areas and happy to help answer any questions!
Air Conditioners – Other areas where you would need to run a 240-volt circuit is if you’re adding an air conditioner, replacing air conditioners, or other things of those nature where the existing equipment does not match up or requires a larger circuit.
Exercise Equipment – If you’re brining in new exercise equipment into the home and plugging it into your normal outlets, you might find out that the circuit breaker is not holding. It’s getting overloaded due to the amperage that the treadmill is pulling when you’re working out and it trips the. Situations like this, you’ll want to upgrade to at 120-volt circuit, and you shouldn’t have a problem going forward.
Space Heaters – Most floor and space heaters have about 1500 Watts of energy that they use when plugged in. A 15-amp circuit for example, is what most outlets in the basement would be wired to, and that’s capable of carrying 1800 Watts. That means when you plug in a floor heater, you’re immediately consuming 1500 Watts of an 1800 Watts circuit. All you have to do is turn on a couple light bulbs or a TV, and you probably trip the breaker. Having a dedicated circuit for floor/space heating, whether it’s a portable heater you plug in, or maybe you’re putting in a heated floor would certainly require a dedicated circuit. Upgrade to a 120-volt circuit, and you should be good to go!
Refrigerators – The last think you want is your refrigerator tripping a breaker and spoiling all of your food without you knowing. It’s good to have this on its own breaker and have higher voltage capacity, so it’s not getting tripped by other overloaded circuits.
Garage Outlets – When you’re out in the garage tinkering around with power tools, you’re pulling a lot of power. If you find you’re continually tripping your breaker, it may be time to go 120-volts.
