Dangers of Overloading a Circuit

These days, most homes in Maryland have been built ready to accommodate large appliances. But if you live in an older home, or have purchased new appliances that don’t already have a dedicated circuit, you need to install a new one.

Overloading your circuit won’t just be an inconvenience to you—it’s also dangerous. When an appliance tries to pull more electricity out of a circuit than it can handle, it can cause power failure, electric shocks, and even electrical fires. Installing dedicated circuits for your appliances reduces the chances of electrical fires in your Maryland home and helps prevent power failures.

Does My Appliance Need a Dedicated Circuit?

Chances are, if it has a motor, it needs its own circuit. This includes:

But there are other times you would need to install a dedicated circuit. Larger power tools, for example, might need dedicated circuits. If you like to go all-out during the holidays, you may want to call an electrician to install a dedicated circuit just for your decorations and lights.

Any machinery, computers, or larger televisions can also benefit from their own circuits. You can always purchase an electrical code book if you aren’t sure, or just call the experts at John Goudie Electric at (301) 945-7688!
