This is an essential step because you will want to avoid overloading your electric distribution panel.

They may want to install a dedicated 240-volt plug or a hardwired circuit back to your main power panel. Usually, it will only cost a few hundred dollars, but it could be as much as $1,000 – $3,000 if your power panel needs upgrading.
