hi,
*I need to pull a 220 line for an air conditioner and I also needed a
110 line for a light that's 5 feet away from it
all the walls are finished and it's an old house with the plaster and
lath walls.
I was wondering if i can make a splice at the 220 outlet and take the
110 from there
because the panel box is far,(about 40 ft)away.
can someone please help me?
thanks in advance,


Sounds like a bad idea to me, simply because the A/C will probably be
30A (or more!) so you will have to maintain the wire size required by
the breaker for everything connected to it. *I'd just pull two separate
cables and be done with it. *40' of 14/2 is not that expensive.

run 2 seperate cables, or use a close by supply for the light.....
