220V Appliance Circuit Installation in Orange County, CA
Electric ovens, stoves, induction cooktops, and dryers all require dedicated 220-volt circuits that standard household outlets can’t provide. O’Hagan Electric installs 220V dedicated lines for all major appliances throughout Orange County homes. We run the proper gauge wiring, install the correct outlet type, and connect to a dedicated breaker so your appliance runs safely and efficiently.
Why Choose O'Hagan Electric for 220V Installations?
Installing a 220V circuit isn’t a simple outlet swap — it requires running heavy-gauge wiring from your electrical panel to the appliance location, installing the correct NEMA outlet configuration, and connecting to a properly sized double-pole breaker. Different appliances require different outlet types (NEMA 14-30 for dryers, NEMA 14-50 for ranges). Our licensed electricians determine the correct configuration, find the most non-invasive wiring route, and ensure everything passes inspection.

Why Proper 220V Installation Matters in Orange County
Improperly wired 220V circuits are a serious fire hazard. Using undersized wire, wrong breaker sizes, or incorrect outlet types puts your home and family at risk. Many Orange County homes were built with limited 220V circuits, and as homeowners upgrade to electric ranges, induction cooktops, and additional high-power appliances, professional installation ensures safety and code compliance. A licensed C-10 electrician guarantees the job is done right.
