I am getting ready to drywall a section of my garage and before I "close it up", I want to install a dedicated electric line for my refrigerator. I think the electrical code requires all electrical outlets in a garage to be on a GFI and over the years, this has caused problems for us as the GFI would trip and three days later, we open the refrigerator door and all the food is spoiled.
Anyway, I want to just run a dedicated(I guess 15 amp) service to support this refrigerator/freezer unit. I have a bunch of 12/2 with Ground wire that I accumulated and I would like to use that. When I get around to connecting this to the breaker, I am going to have to install one of those dual circuit circuit breakers but doubt that will be an issue.
While I am at it, I am thinking of possible installing a 240 volt line in the garage should I ever need it. What type of wiring would I want to use for that??
Am I generally on the right "page". thanks-brian
