Kitchen electrical upgrade in Custer: local conditions matter
Custer is part of Mason County in Northern Michigan, an area of year-round homes, seasonal cottages and cabins tucked into the woods and along the lakes. Many of these places were built for summer use and later converted, so the wiring is often lighter than a full-time home needs. That is the background to most of the kitchen electrical upgrades we do in Custer.
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 Custer kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.
