A garage electrical line should be planned for tools, lighting, sockets and cable protection. Garages expose wiring to dust, humidity and mechanical damage more often than normal rooms.
Sockets should be placed safely, cable routes should be protected, and extension cords should not become a permanent solution. Cable size, breaker rating and real load should be checked.
For a compressor, welding machine, power tools or charging equipment, a dedicated circuit with the correct cable and breaker is often safer.
If a socket gets hot, the breaker trips, there is a smell or lights flicker when a tool starts, the line should be inspected. An electrician should check contacts, cable, panel and load.
