Dedicated Circuit Explainer
Interactive tool showing why HVAC equipment needs a dedicated electrical circuit. Toggle appliances on and off to see how shared circuits overload and trip breakers.
For Licensed & Trained HVAC Technicians Only
This checklist is intended exclusively for use by licensed, certified, and trained HVAC professionals. It is not a DIY guide and should not be used by untrained individuals to perform repairs or diagnostics. The purpose of this checklist is to help qualified technicians maintain a consistent, step-by-step workflow so that no critical step is overlooked or skipped during service.
Why You Need a Dedicated Circuit for New Equipment
โ Sharing a circuit with HVAC equipment will fail inspection and can cause issues with your home insurance. Only a trained, licensed electrician should run a new dedicated circuit for your equipment.
