A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ 21 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer does not require its own dedicated breaker, but there are important electrical considerations to keep in mind. It should be plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong outlet on a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit, which is standard in most homes. While it is technically possible to run both the freezer and an existing refrigerator from the same outlet, it’s not recommended. Doing so could overload the circuit, especially if both appliances are running simultaneously, which may trip the breaker or reduce performance.
