Kitchen Electrical Upgrade for Charlevoix homes and businesses
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Charlevoix and the rest of Charlevoix County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on kitchen electrical upgrades, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.
What a modern kitchen needs electrically
A current-code kitchen typically has seven or more circuits. Countertops alone need two 20 amp circuits, and each fixed appliance gets its own. Switching from a gas range to induction means a new 240 volt circuit, often 40 or 50 amps. Many Charlevoix kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.
