Dedicated Power Source for Peloton Bikes in Olympia, Washington

Are you a proud new Peloton owner? Few investments say commitment to growth and wellness as much as having a Peloton bike or treadmill in your home. They’re fantastic tools for staying healthy and increasing your energy. 

But speaking of energy, these types of treadmills and bikes require a lot of it. You may have noticed this if you’ve tried to use your equipment without a reliable power source. They often cause your breaker to trip or your lights to dim when you run them — so much so that you often need a dedicated circuit for this type of exercise equipment. 

What difference does a dedicated circuit make? A Shocking Difference! And at Shocking Difference, we’re committed to providing a power source that will leave you feeling confident to use your exercise bike without tripping circuit breakers.

What Is a Dedicated Circuit?

Most electric exercise bikes and treadmills run on a standard 120-volt grounded circuit. But if your home doesn’t have a dedicated circuit that fits the power requirements of Peloton bikes, you’ll likely need some additional electrical work. 

That’s where Shocking Difference comes in. But what exactly does this kind of electrical work mean?

Your home has circuits that distribute power to your appliances and electronics. If power becomes overloaded on any one circuit, that’s when the circuit breaker trips. 

Dedicated circuits will power only one specific appliance — in this case, Peloton bikes — but it’s also useful for dishwashers, furnaces, and other large appliances so that the high power drawn from the appliance doesn’t affect the rest of your home. 

You can see why having one of these for your exercise bikes would be desirable, and our electricians can help get one up and running for your Peloton bike in no time. Any time you might be considering the need for a dedicated circuit in your home, give our electricians a call.

Other Appliances that Use Dedicated Circuits

You might not have noticed, but there are many appliances in your Olympia home that already benefit from being on a dedicated circuit. The National Electrical Code requires that large electrical appliances like washers and dryers, refrigerators, electric stoves, or air conditioners all have a dedicated circuit.

But it could also be a good idea to have a new dedicated circuit for some smaller appliances, especially if you know they all draw power from the same circuit. These appliances include microwaves, window AC units, toasters, and air fryers.

The bottom line is that drawing from a reliable power source for large appliances comes recommended by nearly every electrician or electrical professional worth their salt. And that includes our team at Shocking Difference. 

We believe everything you own should be powered safely and efficiently, and when we get you set up with a dedicated circuit, we do precisely that!

Powering Peloton and Your Home

While Peloton bikes will try to set you up for success with their 10-foot power adaptors and many extension cords, there’s still no guarantee that the plug you use for your bike will be able to handle the power load. 

And while you might be able to get along for a while without one, you’re going to be pretty tired of resetting your breaker every time you’re exercising because someone wanted a piece of toast.

Powering your Peloton with a dedicated circuit isn’t just beneficial for your Olympia home in terms of power usage. It’s also a much safer way to use your equipment. 

While breakers will almost always pop in the event too much amperage is used, excessive circuit breaking could wear down your electrical. This could eventually lead to problems down the line that could leave you susceptible to expensive repairs at best and house fires at worst. 

We know how crucial it is to have dedicated circuits for larger appliances to keep your home safe and comfortable. Power your stationary bike sessions without running to your circuit breaker and invest in a dedicated circuit for your large appliances.
