        "text": "A laundry room addition typically requires dedicated electrical circuits for washing machines and dryers to handle their high power consumption safely. Most electric dryers require a 240-volt circuit, while washing machines usually need a 120-volt circuit. Additionally, you'll need standard outlets for lighting, ironing, and potentially other small appliances. It's crucial that all electrical work adheres to current safety codes, such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) adopted by local jurisdictions like Alameda and Dublin, to prevent overloads and ensure safety.",
