What's different about dedicated circuits in Phoenix
Other dedicated circuits often requested in the area include those for pool pumps, garage freezers and mini-splits for casitas or converted garages. An electrician can check that existing circuits, breakers and connections are sized properly for the equipment and are not showing heat damage. Many homes also add a dedicated circuit for a second refrigerator or chest freezer in the garage, where heat makes the compressor run long hours.
Rooftop solar is common, and adding solar, a battery or an EV charger to an older panel frequently needs a panel upgrade or a main-panel derate. Monsoon storms bring lightning strikes and short, intense outages.
