Tulsa electrical circuit installation

For a typical single-family house, we recommend installing a minimum of 30 distinct branch circuits but ideally 40-50 to allow for flexibility. Key circuit types include lighting, general outlets, major appliances, laundry, HVAC equipment, and high-wattage items like electric water heaters and ranges.

For 15A small appliance circuits in an existing home, typical costs are $200 - $350 per circuit depending on factors like wiring gauge required and the labor involved. 20A major appliance or 30A HVAC equipment circuit cost averages $400 - $600 each.

Aluminum wiring can technically be used for 15/20A branch home circuits, but we strongly recommend copper for optimal safety and performance. It’s more expensive but also more durable and less prone to heating risks.

For a typical modern refrigerator, code requires a dedicated 20-amp branch circuit. Other major kitchen appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, and hood vents may also need their own 20-amp circuits to prevent tripping.

 General purpose receptacles and lighting circuits in a home are wired for 120 volts of power. However, larger appliances and equipment may require 240V circuits for higher voltage needs. Our electricians handle circuits of all common voltages.
