What’s an approximate price range to have 220v outlets installed
going to be buying a welder and other power tools for my garage soon. I was curious as to the approximate cost of getting a 220v installed. I’ll probably have 2-3 diff 220v outlets installed just to be on the safe side.
What is a very general price range that I’m looking at for just one outlet? $300ish? $500ish? more? Anyone that can help, I’d appreciate it!
How far and how hard to get to is your circuit breaker box from the spot you want the outlet?
Also, does your box have at least one double-wide spot free for a 220v breaker?
If the box is really close - a lot of them are in the garage - you’re talking about a few feet of wire, the breaker itself, and the outlet. The labor shouldn’t be much more than an hour or so, so depending on who does it you could be looking at only $150-200. However, depending on how complex the run is…it could get really expensive.
150-200 LMAO
this is too vague of a question to be spitting out numbers. you need a professional to give you an estimate. im sure you can call a few electrical contractors and get some free estimates.
you should have info available for them about the welder you plan on using. youll want to get a properly sized breaker ( i have no idea how many amps a welder would use)
the cheapest/ easiest way to do it would be to run the wire through the attic and run a conduit down the wall to the outlet and have the vertical conduit and outlet fastened to the exterior of the wall.
now what it would cost would depend on how far it is from the main panel, what size breaker would be used, what brand, what guage wire, how much wire, and how difficult it would be to do. thats why you need a professional to come out and take a loot at everything and give you an estimate.
