Here in Lakewood, CO, we are showing you basically what the concerns are in this home for the future. There is hardly any outlets that serve these counters. The code talks about it in Article 220 in spacing that you should have outlets within 2 foot to the break of every counter and then 4 foot there after. Basically on the counter, we are missing at least one to two outlets for it also to be nice and convenient. Over here, we have that serves this counter over here and on the other side there should be another outlet, but it is not there. If there was a remodel, there should be about three more outlets to serve it. You also need to have your several GFCI serving your counters. Keep in mind that a house should have two 20 amp circuits to serve the counter, a dedicate circuit for the fridge (15 amps is fine), a dedicate circuit to the range (you can tap that off the under cabinet lights, it is fine due to it being gas), a dishwasher, a disposal and possibly a instant hot and a trash compactor. What we are trying to express to you today is if you end up doing a remodel in the kitchen, typically in this kitchen right here, we will need to add probably 5 to 6 circuits. Thanks for joining us!
