This project falls under our Outlets & Switches service category, with specific expertise in Outlet Installation & Repair. If you’re upgrading your kitchen or replacing an older stove, a properly sized, dedicated circuit is essential for performance and safety.
Scope of Work
- Installed a dedicated 60-amp range circuit from the electrical panel to the cooking area.
- Mounted and terminated a surface-mount range outlet for straightforward access and serviceability.
- Ran approximately 35 ft of 4/3 NM-B copper Romex to provide the correct conductor size for a 60A load.
- Installed a 60A standard breaker matched to the new circuit.
- Used 1-inch PVC conduit and fittings where an exposed or protected pathway was appropriate.
- Scheduled a comprehensive home electrical safety check for the return visit.
Before wrapping up, our team verified proper terminations, confirmed correct polarity and grounding, and tested for expected voltage at the new receptacle.
