Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a dedicated circuit cost?

  The cost to install a dedicated circuit can vary depending on a few key factors. Typically, installing a dedicated circuit in New York City can range from around $250 to $1,200 or more. Some things that affect the price include:

  • Circuit length: Longer wiring runs from your electrical panel increase cost.
  • Circuit breaker requirements: High voltage or specialized circuit breakers may add to the total.
  • Electrical panel upgrades: If your current panel cannot support new circuits, upgrades may be needed, which will increase the cost.
  • Complexity of installation: More complicated installations, like those in medical facilities or industrial environments, usually cost more.

  Daven Electric Corp. provides clear, upfront pricing. Our licensed electrical contractors always start with a detailed estimate after evaluating your business’s specific electrical needs. We’ll explain exactly what’s included and why, avoiding hidden fees or surprise charges. Plus, every dedicated circuit we install is covered by our warranty, providing peace of mind that you’re investing in quality workmanship. Remember, investing in a proper dedicated circuit helps protect your specialized equipment, keeps your electrical system safe, and can prevent costly issues down the road.

• How do I know if it's a dedicated circuit?

  Figuring out if an outlet or appliance is on a dedicated circuit is usually straightforward. A dedicated circuit provides power exclusively to a single appliance or electrical device. Here’s how you can identify it:

  1. Check your electrical panel:
     • Open your electrical panel door.
     • Each dedicated circuit should have its own clearly labeled circuit breaker, like “HVAC,” “Refrigerator,” or “Computer Server.”
  2. Look at the outlet or device:
     • Sometimes dedicated outlets are labeled or have specific colors, indicating they’re only for certain equipment.
  3. Turn off the breaker test:
     • Switch off the breaker labeled for your appliance.
     • You have a dedicated circuit if only one device or outlet stops working.
     • If multiple outlets or lights stop working, it’s likely a shared circuit.

  At Daven Electric Corp., we frequently install dedicated circuits for industrial facilities, data centers, medical facilities, and HVAC providers. These circuits protect specialized equipment from overload and ensure safe, consistent power distribution. If you’re still unsure whether you have dedicated circuits, our licensed commercial electricians can inspect your electrical wiring and clearly identify each circuit.

• What outlets need a dedicated circuit?

  Certain appliances and equipment require dedicated circuits to handle their power requirements safely. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), dedicated circuits are necessary for appliances and devices that draw significant power, preventing overload and reducing fire risks. Common appliances and equipment needing dedicated circuits include:

  • HVAC systems (heating and air conditioning)
  • Electric ovens and ranges
  • Electric dryers
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • Dishwashers
  • Microwaves
  • Hot tubs and spas
  • Electric vehicle (EV) chargers
  • Computers, servers, and data center equipment
  • Specialized medical equipment in medical facilities

  At Daven Electric Corp., our experienced commercial electricians regularly provide dedicated circuits for these devices. Installing dedicated circuits helps protect your business by:

  • Preventing electrical overloads
  • Reducing the risk of circuit breakers tripping frequently
  • Improving power reliability and equipment performance
  • Enhancing electrical safety for your property and staff

  If you’re adding new equipment or appliances, talking with a licensed electrical contractor is a good idea. We’ll evaluate your current electrical panel and wiring, ensuring your system is correctly set up to safely and reliably power your specialized equipment.

• What is the difference between shared and dedicated circuits?

  Understanding the difference between a shared and dedicated circuit helps protect your equipment and maintain a safe electrical system:

  • Dedicated Circuit: This type of circuit supplies power exclusively to a single appliance or electrical device. For instance, an HVAC system or a data center server typically has its own dedicated circuit to prevent power fluctuations, overload, or damage.
  • Shared Circuit: This type of circuit supplies power to multiple outlets, lights, or smaller appliances at once. Commonly found in general-purpose areas, shared circuits handle low-powered devices such as lamps, phone chargers, or office equipment.

  Here’s why dedicated circuits are important:

  • They handle high-power devices safely, such as medical equipment or electric ovens.
  • Prevent frequent circuit breaker trips caused by overload on shared circuits.
  • Allow specialized equipment to operate without interference, maintaining steady and reliable power.

  At Daven Electric Corp., our commercial electricians regularly install dedicated circuits for industrial facilities, data centers, HVAC providers, and more. While shared circuits are suitable for general office or lighting needs, dedicated circuits protect your critical business equipment from unexpected downtime, costly damage, and safety hazards. To decide if you need dedicated circuits, our electrical contractors can evaluate your business’s equipment requirements and recommend the safest, most practical solution.

• Why would you need a dedicated circuit?

  Dedicated circuits aren’t just a good idea—they’re essential for businesses operating specialized equipment or high-power devices. At Daven Electric Corp., our commercial electricians frequently recommend dedicated circuits for the following reasons:

  • Prevent Overloading: High-power equipment, like industrial machinery or HVAC systems, needs stable, isolated power to avoid overloading and circuit breaker trips.
  • Safety: Dedicated circuits greatly reduce fire risks and other electrical hazards by isolating equipment power demands from the rest of your electrical system.
  • Compliance with Electrical Codes: NEC standards often require dedicated circuits for specific equipment, especially in medical facilities, data centers, and industrial facilities.
  • Improved Equipment Performance: Dedicated circuits provide consistent power distribution, enhancing the operation and lifespan of expensive appliances, computers, servers, and specialized equipment.

  Typical equipment that benefits from dedicated circuits includes:

  • HVAC systems
  • Electric ovens and dryers
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • Hot tubs, spas, and EV chargers
  • Sensitive equipment used in data centers and medical facilities

  If your business relies on any of these appliances or specialized devices, our licensed electrical contractors will evaluate your electrical system and recommend dedicated circuits tailored to your needs. This proactive step ensures your business stays safe, compliant, and operational without interruptions.
