@eddie1278 Yeah....Its called a second opinion. If the field didn't have so many imposters then we would be having this conversation.

@b3in this red neck should be telling people how to fish not wire a house

@erickafollie 120 or 240 volts? if you have to up it to a 50 amp, make sure the electrician also puts in a heavier gauge wire running to the receptacle.

I can't believe this "expert" is still saying 110 & 220 volts. This went out with Edison's DC system decades ago. The AC standard is 120/240. In fact the transformer is typically tapped to put out 125/250 to compensate for line drop but under light load conditions the house voltage can be this high and still meet specs. If the outlet voltage drops below 117 you need better wiring or the poco needs to install a bigger transformer.

You need to go back and read your NEC book

@vpbubbies

Yes i think you should rip out the 14 / 2 ... it may work fine forever... throw a amprobe on it and see what your current is.... if its under 12 amps your good... however for future work on the house and future electricians comming , suck it up and replace it with 12 / 2 .... anyone who knows anything about electricity would never run 14 / 2 on a 20 amp circuit unless ur from mexico..... if your amps come up under 12 you may just want to switch to a 15 amp breaker.
