Default How much does it cost to change 15amp circuit to 20 amp

Hi
I just moved to Seattle and we bought a treadmill which we've kept in
the garage. Now the garage has a 15amp circuit but the treadmill needs
a 20 amp one. We asked an electrician to give us a quote to change from
15 to 20 and he has quoted $600 for the wall closet to the door and
$900 for a wall further.

Can the treadmill run on 240v? It would be relatively cheap to change the
circuit to a 240v/15a; though obviously you would have to change/disconnect
all the other outlets on the circuit.


sorry you would need 4 conductors, 3 wire 240 isnt permitted
