Kitchen Electrical Upgrade for Merrill homes and businesses

Plenty of homes around Merrill were built in the 1950s through the 1970s with 100 amp services and far fewer circuits than a household uses today. When we carry out kitchen electrical upgrades in Saginaw County, we make sure the existing system can support the work and tell you plainly if it cannot.

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 Merrill kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.

What you get when you book a kitchen electrical upgrade in Merrill, MI

Small-appliance circuits: At least two 20 amp countertop circuits, as code requires.
Dedicated appliance circuits: Refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, microwave and range hood.
Range and cooktop circuits: 240 volt circuits for electric and induction ranges.
GFCI countertop and island outlets: Correct spacing and protection, including pop-up island outlets.
Layered lighting: Recessed lights, pendants and under-cabinet LED strips on dimmers.
Coordination with your contractor: Rough-in and finish visits timed to cabinets and counters.
