There are standard 3 prong 110 volt plugs in my garage. Will those suffice to plug in a fridge in the garage? Or do you need electrician to install a circuit or something else? I think the plug in the kitchen for the fridge is just a standard 3 prong 110 volt plug. So should be the same electrical outlet the garage?

Given its electrical stuff, standard advise would be check with electrician to be safe, know how many amps that circuit can handle and what else is connected to it.
But if it's a typical 10 or 15 amp circuit without much else on it, you should be ok.
Most newer fridges don't draw more than 3 amps even with compressor running, but specs will suggest you budget 7 amps for it. Unless you have other heavy duty stuff on the same circuit, you're probably safe.shadyoc said:

Seems to me those outlets were made for garage fridges/freezers... they are even elevated like kitchen fridge outlets.

i have a fridge in the garage, at the design center we added an outlet in the garage on its own circuit for about about 150 or so. during the final walkthrough i asked the william lyon rep if having its own circuit was necessary for a fridge, she said you would most likely be ok using a fridge in the garage even without its own circuit.
