Does A Gas Boiler And Gas Water Heater Need To Be On Separate Circuits?
I am running new wiring in my home and was wondering if my natural gas boiler and natural gas hot water heater need to be on separate circuits? Also should I put each bedroom on its own circuit? How many outlets should go on each circuit?

Your boiler pump is usually on it’s own circuit.
Your gas water heater doesn’t usually require power, unless you have a circulating pump. that pump can usually go on another outlet circuit.
Check with your local building codes as they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Dan h is correct but if it’s electronic ignition the power consumption required is minimal [ very little is needed]therefore it would be OK to put on boiler circuit……………………..as for the bedrooms i personally put on separate circuits ……… to save money i would run 12/3 w/grd then you would have 2 circuits in one wire …..you can share one nuetral for 2 circuits its allowed by the CODE……… as for the plugs ….you can use as many as you want ……. i wouldn’t put more than 6 recepticals per circuit including bed lights is OK
