Kitchen Electrical Upgrade for Pontiac homes and businesses
Summer storms and winter ice both cause outages and surges across Southeast Michigan. Customers in Pontiac often call us after one of those events has exposed a weak point. Our electricians serving Oakland County approach kitchen electrical upgrades with reliability and protection in mind.
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 Pontiac kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.
