it does not have to have a separate line from the utility...but it typically has a line running from the already existing line within the home... like remove an elbow from the furnace line and install a tee, then a shutoff valve, then the line to the dryer. After the line arrives in the viscinity of the dryer, it should have another shutoff valve prior to connection to the dryer. Local codes may require additional fittings ot shutoffs... we love our gas dryer... wouldn't have an electric model...

How do you create a dedicated circuit?

A "dedicated" circuit is one to which only one device is or can be connected; therefore the circuit is "dedicated" to the device. A NON dedicated circuit will therefore be one to which multiple devices can connect, such as the wall outlets in your home. Multiple wall outlets are connected to a common circuit breaker, making that an example of a non-dedicated circuit.


How do you find out if there is natural gas on your property?

Two things I get from this question. Can I drill for gas? or Does my house have a gas hookup? First geological surveys can be done to determine if the placement of an oil well, where Natural gas comes from, on your property is feasible. For the second, if there is a gas line in the street serving your neighbors, there is probably a stab off for your own house, contact the local gas company.


Can you plug a gas stove into a dedicated microwave circuit?

In most instances, YES especially if it is a BUILT-IN microwave Most microwaves are 1500-1800 watts; this is the entire capacity of one branch circuit If it is plugged into a receptacle that shares a circuit with other receptacles, then the other shared receptacles can not be used while using the microwave. In busy kitchens (commercial) and sometimes at home, this would prove inconvenient


Why does an Asko Washer Dryer Combo trip the breaker?

The USA Asko combo series runs on 110V, which is unusual for a clothes dryer. A USA dryer usually runs on 220V and has its own dedicated circuit breaker, but the Asko can run on a standard household outlet which probably shares a breaker with other outlets in the house. A clothes dryer takes a lot of current. According to the specs on most Asko combos I looked at online, your unit probably uses close to the maximum current your breaker can handle. If you are using other electrical devices at the same time, you will blow the circuit. It may even be the use of overhead lighting if it shares the same breaker. One more thing on Asko: According to many of the online reviews, the 110V combos have a tendancy to have overheating problems in the wiring when using both washer and dryer simultaneously. I would suspect that this is due to not cleaning the lint screens, so be diligent. A dirty lint screen causes the dryer to work extra hard and draw more current.


Do air conditioners need there own circuit breaker?

Yes. Due to their higher current requirements it is recommended that air conditioners be connected to their own dedicated circuit and thus have their own circuit breaker.

When should you purchase a new dryer rather than repair an old one?

You should buy a new one when the repair cost more then the worth of a new dryer or the worth of the old dryer itself. Also take into consideration the number of years that you have own the dryer and how reliable it will be even after repairs.
