Every circuit is a match between three things: the load it feeds, the wire that carries the current and the breaker that protects the wire. When one of them is wrong, breakers trip or wires run hot. I size all three before any cable is pulled.
Most of my wiring work is in homes that people are living in. I plan the route to open as little wall and ceiling as possible, and I tell you beforehand where openings will be needed.

Common questions
What is a dedicated circuit?
A circuit that feeds one appliance and nothing else. Appliances that draw a lot of power, such as a microwave, a dishwasher or an air conditioner, work best that way and stop tripping a breaker they used to share.
Will you have to open the walls?
Sometimes. With a basement or an attic I can often fish the cable inside the walls with small openings or none. I tell you before the job where openings will be needed, so there are no surprises.
Does my panel have room for a new circuit?
A photo of the panel with its door open usually answers that. I look at the free spaces and at the total load. If the panel cannot take another circuit, I tell you before any work starts.
Can I just put in a bigger breaker to stop the tripping?
No. The breaker protects the wire. A bigger breaker on the same wire lets it carry more current than it is made for, and that is a fire risk. The fix is a new circuit or moving some of the load.
