To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet? (lemmy.world)

yeah they'll need to open up that drywall to drill holes in all the studs.

Not necessarily. They make 54" long, flexible drills that can go through 3 studs from a single hole. Some have 4' extensions that you can attach as well, to drill studs 8 or even 12 feet out from a single hole.
