KillJoy Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I am in need of an electrician to check out our home's wiring. I am wanting to add a 220V Outlet in our Garage. Currently, there entire service for the Garage is a 30A 220V Circuit. I am wanting an estimate (free is better ) for adding this service.

blacksi Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just research it, I did my own last year its pretty simple. I did a garage heater but it was 240. I just ran the 3 wire I think and put in a new breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did this in his garage for his big welder and for when we got the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but many "electricians" overcharge for simple work. If they wouldn't charge so much, people would be more likely to get it done instead of risking it themselves. That said, do it yourself. It's not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 they gotta pay their bills too. I'd rather make a smaller amount to install an outlet than nothing for over pricing a job and not getting the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
