I just had gas pulled into my house. I have been using an electrical stove and now definitely a gas range. The problem is, the people at Home Depot told me that electrical stoves use 220V, while gas ranges need 110V. It seems I'll need to install a 110V outlet for the range. Do I need to apply for a permit and have a licensed electrician to do the job, or I can do it myself? I do have a 110V outlet 2 feet away above the counter top, and it's not difficult to install a new one from there, but I don't want to break the code (if it is mandatory).
He wants to tap off his counter outlets, thats a no-no...
If you have access to pull a new 12/2, then by all means do so.. But often not possible through finished walls and ceilings.
Yes, he has #10, or even #8 wire in there... No reason they cant pigtail #12 to it in the panel and the box behind stove, and swap in a single 20A breaker. NEC doesnt care if the wire is oversized for the load involved.
