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

I doubt the machine could be wired 240 volt, but why would it require four
wire. It's not a cooking equipment

Probably not, there are likely to be some displays or something else that
require 120v, but to save $900 it is worth looking into.
If the damn thing actually requires a 20a circuit, it should be convertable.


well if theres nothing else on that circuit it could be converted to
240 at the breaker end then install a transformer to take the 240 back
to 120.....

but in all honesty it might be cheaper to buy a brand new treadmill
that runs on 15 amp......

new treadmill with all the latest best features including safety
ones......

does the treadmill have a 20 amp plug on it?

any other close by 20 amp circuits around? whats on the other side of
that garage wall?
