I need a 220v outlet in my garage for a compressor I'm planning on purchasing. My breaker box is outside of my house about 10 feet from the right wall of my garage. I thought about running some 10/3 wire to a 20amp breaker and dropping it in my wall which is a pain in the butt.
Another option I was thinking would be to run some 8/3 wire outside the breaker box, down the side of the house, then punch through that wall and install a sub panel with a 50amp breaker where I can add a few 220v outlets and several 110 outlets (my garage only has 1 outlet in it!)
Just bouncing ideas around to see what you guys have experience with.
Thanks!
Here is a drawing of the second option.
