New tank electrical question....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
if you currently have 2 receptacles on the same circuit you're gonna have 1 hot and 1 return going to the first receptacle and out of that receptacle to the second. Since the two recptacles share a homerun adding a second circuit without isolating the second receptacle will turn the circuit into a 2 pole 30a circuit. Do you have a crawl space or basement? Without having access from above out below getting a new circuit is gonna involve a lot of holes in your drywall, especially if your joists are perpendicular to the direction you are feeding from.
 
No... On a slab here in Florida. There is a closet behind the tank. We are planning on painting behind the tank before it gets here anyways since it'll be next to impossible to do so afterwards so holes in the wall arent that big a deal really.....

Guess I'll just let an electrician figure it out once they are here...
