Default How do I convert this 220v outlet

You might be right, I thought it was hooked up to two 20 amp breakers
but maybe they are 15A breakers.

This is a common misconception. A 30A 240V circuit uses a single 30A
double-pole breaker (or two single-pole 30A breakers with the handles
tied together), not two 15A breakers.
