Need some help with electrical

[little_d]

I only have one available 15 A circuit at the new tank location and would like to have one more. I looked at the panel this morning and it seem like no open slot for another breaker, so I am not sure what are my option.

It will be partially inwall and conduit in the garage. Let me know if you can help, I am in South Sac. close to Exotic.

Thanks
Anthony

You can either replace an existing breaker with a double pole model (easy) or add a sub-panel (harder).

Like this:

I can't imagine why you'd need 3 kitchen GFI's not including the DW and Disposal.

Don't take my word because I don't know what you're drawing on all three of those GFI's but I imagine you might combine two and have a free 20amp GFI to dedicate to the tank.

Ditto, just verify that they are dedicated plugs, and it looks like they are already tandem breakers.

Edit:It looks like the disposal breaker can be changed out for a tandem, the rest are already changed out.

PM'd you.

Thanks everyone, not sure why the electrical engineer designed the kitchen with 5 different circuits

Looks like I'll be replacing the disposal's breaker for a 20A tandem breaker.

I don't know all the electrical code so correct me if I am wrong, for the inwall part, I can just run just the romex right? the the exposed part, I have to either have it in conduit (rigid or flex) correct? I'll run the wire first.

yeah... talk to D&KSac, he's the man to go to for electrical. oh I see he already pm'd ya.. haha.

for the exposed, run either flex or EMT.

Isn't Steve (Funman) an electrician?

 

[little_d]

Yup, he's on the other side of town and with gas prices now a day if there is another one close my side of town would help out a lot. D&KSac is close enough and he can help wire up the panel. So I am off to run the wire from the atic out to the garage.
