Wolf asked: I need probably about 500 ft. of either 14-2 or 12-2 (haven’t really looked into the specs of what i need yet but i know it will be one or the other..just gotta look…) I was thinking it would be smarter to buy a 500ft real rather than a bunch of smaller boxes….does home depot sell them? if so how much are they?
Oh and just in case anyone asks or can give me a recommendation on what size wire to use… its for a heater/ac circuit in rooms at a hotel. each room is getting a breaker that will have a baseboard heater hooked to it and a single outlet for an AC. And the baseboard heater will be drawing about 1250W or 1500W (depending which we decide to go with) and I’m not sure what the AC will use..i guess that depends on the AC but all the baseboard heaters will be the same. so any recomendations wuold be nice. thanks.
I went to a vo-tech school for 3 years for electrical, and i learned a whole lot of stuff, just never learned wire or breaker sizing. So i know electrical work, just not how to size it right. And its more of a bar/hotel, the first floors is a bar/restaurant and the 2nd and 3rd floors are hotels (more or less just rooms with dressers and beds…which is really a hotel…) I should be able to use the romex though, i mean the rest of the house is wired in romex from what i’ve been able to see, and i’ve seen most of everything thats not behind a wall (breaker boxes, tore down a couple walls, ect.. )
correction, its on the 2nd floor, not the third, and there is a sub panel on the second floor that i’m gonna run the wires to, so it won’t be all the way from the basement, i think the furthest wire might be around a 100 foot run…. just guestimating off the top of my head though…
