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?
It sounds like the job should be pretty simple. The mechanics of household electrical are very straightforward. I would definitely lean on your BIL here: discuss the project, not just what to do and pitfalls to avoid, but also have him give a vibe check on your understanding. He knows you better than any of us do.
