Hello. I want a bit more juice to my garage workshop.
I have a 40 amp circuit from an unused electric stove/oven. The stove is located on the back wall of my house and it would be simple enough drill through the wall, bury the wire in PVC pipe or conduit, and use it to feed a subpanel in my garage.
Is there any downside to doing this or is it against code?
The only other way would be to run a feed from my main panel in the basement up through the walls, across the attic and firewall etc etc., and that is a bit above my pay grade. The stove circuit I could handle though
