Kitchen electrical work
A modern kitchen needs at least two 20 amp countertop circuits plus dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and range. Older Questa kitchens often run everything on one or two circuits, which is why breakers trip.
- Countertop small-appliance circuits
- Dedicated circuits for each major appliance
- GFCI and AFCI protection
- Island and peninsula outlets
- Range, cooktop, and wall oven circuits
- Under-cabinet, pendant, and recessed lighting
- Range hood and disposal wiring
- Gas-to-electric and induction conversions
Signs your kitchen wiring is behind
- Breakers trip when two appliances run
- Too few countertop outlets
- No GFCI protection near the sink
- Dim or shadowed work surfaces
- You are switching to an induction range

Often yes. We can add circuits and outlets by working from the attic, crawl space, or cabinet backs with limited patching.
