Reliable Power for Your Marysville Home: Expert Dedicated Circuit Installation
Is your Marysville home struggling to keep up with the power demands of modern appliances? Whether you are installing a new EV charger in Smokey Point, setting up a high-performance home office in Sunnyside, or upgrading your kitchen near the Ebey Waterfront, your electrical system needs more than just standard outlets. It needs dedicated circuit installation.
At In-House Electric, we specialize in providing Marysville homeowners with the specialized power lines required to keep appliances running safely and efficiently. Overloaded circuits aren’t just a nuisance, they are a fire hazard. Our licensed electricians ensure your home’s electrical infrastructure is robust, code-compliant, and ready for the future.
What is a Dedicated Circuit?
A dedicated circuit is an electrical line that is “dedicated” to a single appliance. Unlike general-purpose circuits that power multiple outlets and lights in a room, a dedicated circuit has its own circuit breaker in your electrical panel. This ensures that a heavy-load appliance like a refrigerator, water heater, or hot tub can draw the power it needs without tripping the breaker or causing lights to flicker elsewhere in the house.
For homeowners in older parts of Downtown Marysville, many electrical systems were designed before the era of high-powered microwaves, air conditioners, and electric vehicle chargers. Upgrading to dedicated circuits is the most effective way to modernize your home’s safety and performance.
Why Your Marysville Home Needs Dedicated Circuits
As Marysville continues to grow from the bustling retail corridors near Lakewood to the quiet residential streets of Gissberg, the way we use electricity is changing. Here is why dedicated circuits are essential:
- Preventing Circuit Overloads – Have you ever turned on a vacuum cleaner only to have the TV and lights in the room shut off? That is a circuit overload. By installing dedicated lines for high-draw appliances, you balance the load on your electrical panel, preventing annoying trips to the garage to reset a breaker.
- Enhancing Home Safety – Overloaded wires can heat up, damaging the insulation and potentially leading to electrical fires. Dedicated circuits ensure that your wiring is sized correctly for the specific amperage of your appliance, significantly reducing the risk of overheating.
- Protecting Sensitive Electronics – High-draw appliances can cause "voltage sags" or spikes when they kick on. If your expensive gaming computer or home theater system is on the same circuit as a refrigerator, those fluctuations can damage your electronics over time.
- National Electrical Code (NEC) Compliance – If you are planning a home renovation or adding new equipment, the City of Marysville and Washington State building codes often require dedicated circuits for specific appliances. Our team ensures every installation meets or exceeds these safety standards.

The In-House Electric Process: How We Work
When you choose In-House Electric for your dedicated circuit installation in Marysville, you can expect a seamless, professional experience from start to finish.
Step 1: Comprehensive Load Assessment
We don’t just pull wires. We start by analyzing your existing electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity to handle a new dedicated line. If your panel is outdated (such as an old Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand), we will discuss upgrade options to keep your home safe.
Step 2: Custom Circuit Design
We determine the correct wire gauge and breaker amperage based on the specific requirements of your appliance (e.g., a 20-amp circuit for a microwave vs. a 50-amp circuit for an EV charger).
Step 3: Professional Installation
Our technicians use advanced tools to run wiring through your walls, attic, or crawlspace with minimal disruption to your home. We install a high-quality outlet and a new, labeled breaker in your panel.
Step 4: Testing & Safety Check
Once installed, we test the circuit under load to ensure it performs perfectly. We also check for proper grounding, which is critical for the safety of your family and your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can’t I just use a heavy-duty extension cord for my appliance?
No. Extension cords are for temporary use only. They are not designed to handle the continuous high-amperage draw of major appliances and can become a major fire hazard if used permanently.
How do I know if a circuit is already dedicated?
Look at your electrical panel. If a single breaker is labeled for one specific item (like “Dishwasher” or “Dryer”) and nothing else in the house turns off when you flip that breaker, it is a dedicated circuit.
What happens if I don’t install a dedicated circuit?
At best, you will deal with constant “nuisance tripping” of your breakers. At worst, you risk an electrical fire or damaging the expensive appliance you just bought.
Do I need a permit for a new circuit in Marysville?
Yes, most new circuit installations in Marysville require an electrical permit from the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) or the City of Marysville, depending on the exact location of your property. In-House Electric handles the permitting process for you to ensure everything is legal and inspected.
How quickly can you get to my home in Marysville?
We prioritize Marysville residents! Because we are active in the I-5 and Highway 9 corridors, we can often provide same-week or even next-day service for urgent electrical needs in areas like Smokey Point or Downtown.
My Marysville home was built in the 1970s. Can it handle new circuits?
Many 1970s homes have 100-amp or 125-amp panels. While these were standard then, they may be at capacity now. We can perform a “load calculation” to see if your panel can handle the new circuit or if a sub-panel or service upgrade is necessary.
