My first post here but have been lurking for a long time. As a summer project I walled up a the porch side area of my garage. Its around 200 square feet. Just a small area to tinker in comfort. I am in the process of getting it all wired for outlets, lighting and insulation. I am thinking of installing a 9000 BTU split ac but in all my reading it looks like it would require a dedicated circuit. I am out of breaker slots in my garage breaker box. I know my garage is wired to support 30 amps as I got that done when I got the garage re-wired by an electrician when I purchased the house a year ago. I also have 220V outlet but that slot is used for my welder. I know that I will not run the welder when I have the AC on which I think is the only tool that uses up a lot of amps. I don’t want to violate any codes to help avoid issues if I decide to sell the house in the future. Do you think that if I replaced the breaker box with one with an additional slot to use for the AC would be an issue? Thanks for the advice.
