How to Wire a New 220v Outlet for Air Conditioning! 

Best practices would be to redesignate the white 10/2 with black tape when connecting it to the red 10/3 in the jbox. For sure would do it at the breaker.

When I seen you start without trying to find stud I said watch he hit a stud I be dame you couldn’t have hit it more center stud lol😂

And when you need to find a stud you end up putting 1000 holes in your drywall. lololol

Like the way it was explained and like the can do attitude, Nicely done Sr.

Nice dual inverter 👌

I'm trying to wire a 6-15 outlet. I have 2 blacks, 2 whites, and a ground. Everyone i tried watching that wired it only had 1 black, 1 white and a ground so they repurposed the white neutral into a hot. Where i have 2 sets of wires, am i able to connect a black to each side, my ground and then cap off my neutrals?

Did you ever announce baseball games? You got that voice.

You should do voice work for the Simpsons 😅

Great video . I needed this.

Maybe its good to Mask the areas to be cut first to prevent paint from chipping too much?

It’s nice that you have a spare Square D breaker in the bottom of a Cutler Hammer panel. NEC violation, you installed a single 250 volt receptacle rated at 20 amps on a 30 amp branch circuit. That’s a no no. It could have been a 15 or 20 amp circuit and device, based on the AC being 9 amps. Not going any further.

Hi, I bought a 220V air conditioner and the surge protector on the cord will not reset. It's the same plug as yours. My outlet has 120V on each of the prongs, and a ground. Three wires. Convinced it was the surge protector and I didn't want to have to drag a 130-lb AC back to Home Depot, I chopped the GFI off and direct-wired it. Still didn't work (no surprise, b/c it had tiny sensing wires in the cord). Bought a new different AC, tho same brand, and it's the same as yours (LG #LW2422IVSM); imagine my surprise when it also won't reset; the pilot LED on the cord GFI also never illuminates. This is in my shop, which gets 60A thru 3-wire service via a 60A breaker in my house; one hot goes to each bar, and bare goes to ground/neutral, where all the white/bare wires get connected. My outlet has 115V in each leg. The box for both AC's says 220V, and the manual points out the 220V plug, so I'm assuming it wants 115 in each leg; it draws up to 2290A, so it'd have to be across two 115's, right?. It says it needs a wall receptacle that's "Standard 240V, 3-wire grounding receptacle rated 15A/240VAC/60Hz". I can pull the plug out halfway and with my voltmeter read 115V on of the two powered prongs. House is from '89, shop was added sometime later (before me). Is the GFI on these things maybe too touchy to work in this setup? Perhaps important, the 50A breaker/wire that supplies my outlet branches in the wall to also power a 30A welding outlet (still 115 on each leg and one ground/neutral). I currently have two smal 120V AC's, one old and one new, both with cord GFIs, running on separate circuits in the shop with no problem. Many, many thanks; just moved to Texas and it's getting very hot here :-).

Stud finder?

Do you run wire to inside breaker box or box outside on the pole

What kind of framing is that? With the wall having those horizontal posts

Can I use the yellow 12/2 for the ac unit and nothing else will ever hook to this

Brooo…I truly dig the voice over lol are you a Pilot…feels like I’m watching a pre-flight message lolol

How to connect next outlet or switch to specifically single outlet?

I have a nema 10 20r. Has 2 gold and 1 silver screws. No green ground How do I wire it? Black and red on gold and white on silver? I need help

how many amp and volt does your ac need

Very Good!... #6 ✝ {8-21-2022}

Someone can help me? What kind of braker he used?

That panel needs a remodeling because that thang is a cluster fuak After you organize the whole panel, pretty sure you'd be able to work on your appliances and circuit breakers easier, and to maintain.

What is the single outlet number 30 amp to whats on the outlet

You'd be better off doing a horizonal cut first. Then you would have known before you cut the whole thing. 😉😄

that ac pulls 15 amps. Shouldn't that be ran on 14 gauge wire ? I bought the same AC and have to run some new wire is why i watched the video. nice job by the way. But was I was wondering about the wire size being to big if it could lead to warranty issues.

Whos Erwin?
