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