Kitchen electrical upgrade in Okemos: local conditions matter
Plenty of homes around Okemos 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 Ingham 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 Okemos kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.
