need to run a 220v line..where 2 start...
Ok, i have my 2 post 9k lb lift, and I am picking up my 60gal. compressor next week, only problem is that I dont have the power source in my garage for either yet. I need to run a 220v line from the main electrical box to my garage. Ive never done home wiring like that before so I really dont know where to start. I assume i'd also need some type of box in the garage too with a breaker and crap. The biggest problem is that the main box is in my cellar all the way on the opposite side of the house(approx. 85ft away) and there isnt really any access(attics or crawlspaces) connecting the cellar and garage. I can try going up the walls and over my living room then back down into the garage, OR go outside and run underground or along the house. I also am not up to date on the code regulations and crap so i guess id have to check into that. If anyone wants to help, i'll pay, i think someone on the board is an electrician but i cant remember right now. I called an electrician a few months back and he said it would cost about $1,000 to run the line, I was like WTF i'll guess try doing it myself, lol. but anyways any info or help will be appreciated. thanks, and hey, i could even pay whoever helps me in cash, used parts, or lift time, haha.
