In my own house I would try in the existing wiring. There was a time not that long ago 2 pole 40a breakers were scarce so some stoves got a 2p 30. Haven't heard of any problems yet. However. We could all be wrong and the new appliance will actually draw up to 45 or more amps.

What part of Manitoba. I grew up in the south west part. Definitely hot and cold. If you have the time, strapping out the walls is a really good plan. In my opinion anything more (spray foam, styrofoam) is more than necessary. I have a detached garage with 2x6 walls and r30 in the attic...

I find that interesting. In my part of Canada that would not pass. I will ask my inspector or engineer about this kind of thing the next time they are chatty.

Yes.

This is one of my recurring nightmares.

Me too

Pretty much every modern industry in Canada uses 568A. I run Cat6 and fiber at work quite often and we always run 568A.

Actually since you're north of the equator you have to punch down "A". "B" is for the southern hemisphere.

The rest of us hack and slash people.

If I had the opportunity to do it again I would do my floor like this.

I have 2 floor boxes in my garage. They don't come close to meeting the letter of the code. But guess what....it's been fine for 7 years already. In fact according to the CEC (I'm in Canada) it's very difficult (expensive) to meet the letter of the law for floor boxes in a residential garage...

In the real world they would throw some plywood in there, maybe some spray foam and keep going.

Not without further modifications

What does the low pressure switch do. Certainly somewhere in YouTube there is a video on this.

How much access do you have from beneath. If you can drill through the bottom plate into the wall then you can run a fish tape up the wall and with a little bit of luck pull it out of the hole behind the camera. If you can't drill directly up you will have to get creative.

What metal part of the contractor. Was it the 240 volt lug. With the power on?

I did it. It's great. My shop is similar in size to yours.

Keep going until it pops out.

Well, the nameplate says it has a full load amps (FLA)) of 26 amps. It may run for a little on a 20a breaker.

Rip out the AFCI.
