I’m a dumbass and had someone come out and install a 240v outlet (and 120v). The reason I’m a dumbass is I didn’t measure and had them install it in a place it wouldn’t work for the appliance I am using.
I need to move the outlet a lot closer to the breaker box so I won’t need additional wire or material, less actually.
I’m debating doing this myself. I technically have an EE degree but my day job is primarily coding, and any electronics I’ve worked on are usually the micro variety. I am aware of all the electrical safety requirements and in terms of technicality/connections, I think I just need to copy what has already been done but just remove a bunch of wire and place the outlet closer.
Do you think this is something I could take on myself with some research? My brother-in-law is also a proper electrician and I can facetime him.
Or do you think I should just ask the guys who installed it back and have them do it?
If you have the materials then ask your brother-in-law if he’ll come give you a hand in return for dinner or something.
If you’re uncertain enough to ask if you should do it on your own you shouldn’t do it on your own when it comes to electrical wiring in the house.
I would totally trade dinner or whatever but unfortunately he’s in a different state so it’s not really convenient unless he’s visiting.
