Wiring Help

[Scooter_D]

Guys, I have floor heat in my garage with an on demand boiler type system.
I want to add a stick welder to my shop, 240 volt. Can I split off my floor heat boiler wiring and make that work? I wouldn't need both running at the same time.

Need a lot more info to be able to give you any kind of legitimate answer.

Make and model of boiler?

Nameplate input current?

Boiler circuit size?

Make and model of welder?

This is not a good idea. They are meant to have their own circuits.

You could put in a switch or interlocked breakers where only one could be on at a time. Really need more information about the wiring. Is there a subpanel in the shop? Size, etc?
