I've got a kitchen circuit that is overloaded and I want to split it up. I called a electrican who gave me a rough bid of 300-500 to run two new circuits and clean up some junction boxes in the attic. That didn't sound too bad to me, so I had him come back to give me a more firm bid, but he has yet to call me back with a price like he said. Anyways I was wondering if this might be something I could do. The way I see it I would have to run my new dedicated lines to the two fixtures(a microwave and dishwasher) replace the current boxes with a remodel box and tie the original wires together in the box to continue the circuit and wire the fixtures up like normal. At the panel once the wire is run just use the proper breaker etc. I've run circuits before but I've never split one up that was already there. Anyway the job doesn't seem too tough to me, am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Darius
