Re: building a gargage

lmao, just ------ with ya. More than likely plans for a 220 are already there since it's a garage and most people put their washer/dryer sometimes a fridge and stove in there as well. If not then ask/suggest it. Are you sure they're going to let you weld and crap in there anyways?

Re: building a gargage

Any time a service or disconnect is added into a building, there is 220 (or 240 in PA). The 3 lines you see running from a pole to your house/garage consist of 2 110 (120) volt legs, and a ground. Even on disconnects running from your house to a garage have 220 (240). Usually the disconnect from the house will be a 100amp 2 pole breaker (2 pole meaning 2 110v legs), and also a 100 amp 2 pole breaker at the disconnect in your garage. Either way, you'll have all the power you need. Most older houses still run an entire house off of a 100 amp main. If it can handle the draw of a house, a garage is no problem, even with a welder. Just tell your contractor to make arrangements for an outlet for a welder, and he should be able to take care of the rest if he really knows what he is doing. Another thing not to forget is to make arrangments for heat as well, whether it's some type of gas or electric. Trust me on this one, especially if you have cold winters at all. And insulate insulate insulate...can never have too much insulation in any building. Keeps them cool in the summer, and hot in the winter. Good luck with everything!
