If you are going to add anything greater then a 50 in the garage, I would definately call out a licensed contractor as your power company is going to have to get involved to increase your service. That's where it can start getting pricey... Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braingetter Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I just read this.... I am a residential journeyman electrician, also a supervisor... Looks like you have 5 220's..... dryer, a/c, oven, furnace, and hot water heater maybe????? that would mean u are all electric, no gas??????? I can do a load analysis for you, I will need to know what appliances u have and the square footage of your house, counting the circuits in the panel might also help, I can tell you if you have enough reserve to add a sub-panel... You could also run a few 20 amp circuits if you don't have enough amperage.. For a 50 amp circuit, You will need to run 8/3 romex, 6/3 if it's 110' or more... this is my profession, so hit me up if you need help... Also, square d is a cheap and easy breaker, it looks like u have the qo series, with the red indicator when they are tripped...easily obtainable at home depot or Lowes...
