[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3897290, member: 796"] You need 30amp 220V to do electric heat and/or AC to make it efficient and safe. Each separate circuit for outlets should be 20 amp , 110 volt. Use 12-2 romex [B]with ground. [/B] I'd get rid of the 14 ga wire and two prong outlets. Consider GFI outlets for outside. I don't like outlets and lights to be on the same circuit because if a power tool pops a breaker, I want the lights to stay ON! A 100 amp breaker panel is about right . That is what I used in a separate new double garage, and it is cheaper in the long run just to do it all to code, with room for expansion. I was able to add a 220 volt 30 amp outlet for a small welder later with a couple of circuit breakers, the outlet and a few feet of wire. [/QUOTE]
