I'm having a new home built, and I'd like to get it wired with 220v to the garage. Any recommendations as to the amperage I should allow for? I'm expecting to eventually use the circuit for a compres

Larry: Run as much as you can afford, at least 100 amp. Sooner or later, you will be welding in the winter with the heater on, and the compressor will kick in. At that rate, even a 100 amp service ma

You cannot argue with the "more is better" argument, but 100 amp service requires #1/0 wire, and 200 amp requires #3/0. This cable is not cheap, is a hassle to work, requires major conduit, and gives

Put at least 100 amps in and consider 200. I've found that the difference is up-front cost is minimal, and 100 amp service is about the smallest you can even get from the power company. If you're wir

A big factor to consider is whether or not you plan to heat the shop with electricity. I use propane for heat and feel that I can get more that enough power from a 60 amp service. My lighting load is

Doc: Actually, there is another option - you can have the house wired for 400 amp service, and run the 200 amp garage service from this. The installation cost for a 400 amp service is much higher tha

And if your garage _is_ far away, compare the cost savings of the thinner wire with the expense of renting a trencher to bury fatter wire if you decide to upgrade later. And while you've got the tren

Try for at least 50 amps. 100 if you can. Never can tell if you might wind up with an electric car in the garage someday.
