    220 in my garage

    Correct me If I'm wrong, and history shows I'm probably wrong. But If the pulling from the panel would be approximately 75' by pulling from the AC the total 100 may then be over 100 feet.

    Any help with garage sub-panel would be appreciated.

    I have a few questions. Does your meter base have Breakers? Why are you choosing to go with the QO series? (homeline will do what you're looking for and is still made by Square D?) How many amps is your meter base rated? (not the load center inside) Do you know that the two pole breakers...
