any of the NYSpeed electricians have a quick estimate to have a 220 line installed? I have a panel in the garage that used to have 220, but when I had an electrician come in and put in all new wiring, he took it out for some reason without telling me. I still have the line and plug box. I just need it tied into the panel. any ideas on a rough cost to have that done? thx in advance. ---

DIY? I ran a new 50 amp 220 line to my garage when I was doing drainage. If you have all the hardware in place already, he might have disconnected it for a code violation or something? :shrug: ---

i thought about a DIY, but the thought of messing with a panel terrifies me. Im sure I could do it, but id much rather pay someone to do it and have full confidence it is done right. ---

run your 1X/ **3** line, turn off the supply to the sub panel, install breaker. Not hard at all, been there done that. Takes longer to drill the studs / beams then it does to make your terminations. IDK how much it’ll cost to have someone do it, but IIRC master electrician labor rate is upwards of $100/hr formally. ---

It is entirely likely that he pilfered the power to supply some 110 outlets. Depends on what you have coming in/out of the panel. ---

Does the line run to your the main panel for your house? If so, what is that breaker rated for? ---

ya, the power in the garage is coming from a line from the main panel in my basement. I’ll have to double check what that braker is rated for. ---
