I was just given a 14' x 24' Leonard metal garage. It has already been wired with overhead lights,
outlets, wall switches, exhaust fans and two 240volt outlets. It's got an old (funky looking) panel with
two 15 amp breakers. The building has been moved to my property (I live in the county) and is just at
150' from the house, which, happens to have the electric meter, and a panel with three breakers; one for
our well pump, one for the hot water heater, and a 30 amp breaker for a "steamer" attached to the wall.
My question: can I run wire from the outside panel (using the 30 amp breaker for the "steamer") to this
building? If so, do you think I should replace the panel with the two 15 amp breakers in the garage with a
new panel? Should I run what size wire from the house and should it be in conduit? PVC okay?
Thanks
