Dedicated Circuit Installation Cost
How much does a new dedicated 120V or 240V circuit cost in the DMV? Real pricing for kitchen, laundry, EV, hot tub, and workshop circuits.
A new dedicated circuit in the DMV typically runs $350–$850 for a 120V/20A circuit within one floor of the panel, and $550–$1,400 for a 240V circuit like a dryer, range, or EV charger. Long runs through finished walls or across multiple floors push higher. Every quote is firm before work starts.
Key details
- 120V dedicated circuit (same floor as panel): $350–$650
- 120V dedicated circuit (across floors): $550–$900
- 240V circuit (dryer / range / EV): $550–$1,400
- Long / difficult runs: quoted case-by-case
- Includes breaker, wire, box, and device
- Permit pulled where required
What drives the cost
Distance from the panel, difficulty of the wire path (open basement vs finished ceiling), amperage (heavier wire = higher cost), device type, and whether a permit is required. A 20A homerun through an open basement is fast; a 50A EV feed across a finished second story is slower.
When you need a dedicated circuit
Any appliance drawing over 12A continuously (fridge, microwave, wine cellar, sump), 240V appliances (dryer, range, cooktop, wall oven, hot tub, EV), medical equipment, aquariums, home offices with UPS-backed equipment, workshop tools, and welders.
What's included
Breaker in the panel, appropriate wire (usually copper NM-B or MC), box, receptacle or hardwire connection, and testing. Permit pulled where the jurisdiction requires one.
