Gas stove on same circuit as lights

mysterd429

Hi all,

When we moved into our house recently, I tried to figure out which receptacles where on which circuits, and I got pretty close to all of them. I found that the (main floor) gas stove is on the same circuit as the basement lights. We had an electrician doing work on that circuit, and he mistakenly crossed "Stove" off of my label. Is it a problem for the gas stove to be on the same circuit the basement lights? The electricity is just used for the clock, timer, and pilot lights.

I know that the stove is still on that circuit, since I shut the power off when I changed which switch controls which lights in the work he did for us after a few months.

Thanks!

No problem.

Have the same thing at my house. Except my entire island is on the circuit of the room below it.

I know of lot of licensed electricians give DIY's are hard time, but I know better than this.

Thanks for your replies. Our house has a lot of one-thing-from-this-room-with-the-rest-from-that-room circuits. We did have an electrician set up a dedicated circuit for our permanent installation air conditioner. Our kitchen has two dedicated circuits besides the stove.

It is very common to power things in different areas with the same circuit. Only certain circuits are limited to serving specific loads. Small appliance (countertop), bathrooms, and laundry circuits have limitations for instance.

As Electure said, there is no problem with your stove receptacle being on the circuit which feeds the basement lights.
