![]() They were able to order us in the 20amp - thank goodness! I remember seeing the Lutron ones though, they were also super nice. I called into a Lowes and they actually had one of their reps in from Legrand that helped us. No Lowes in the GTA had them in the store or on their website. We are actually located in Burlington - so distant neighbors! We had the same issue with our receptacles in the kitchen since they had to be 20amp. Can't wait to see pictures when you get everything settled in. :) I hope you and your Husband (and kitties!) enjoy and savor the new memories you'll make in the "new" space! It can be fun putting the place together again. I'm sure the kitties will be happy! I took a video of ours coming upstairs for the first time (silly, perhaps? not to me!) haha. Litehearted: Oh my goodness! That etsy link did cheer me up! I am definitely favoriting that shop! :) That is so exciting - the part of staying in there for the first night! I bet it feels like a whole new place. Is there any reason/code requirement why this should't be done? I'm planning on having an electrician in for several other items ( some additional 110/120 outlets and ceiling lights added in a couple of rooms), and if there's no real reason for the surface-mount range outlet other than that the builder chose to do it that way, I'll be adding changing the range outlet to an inset outlet to the wishlist. The supply wire is inside the wall, and seems to have been pulled though a drilled hole in the drywall above the baseboard and then fed into the surface-mount box. ![]() Is there any reason/requirement for a 220v outlet to be installed as a surface-mount box instead of inset into the wall the way normal 110v/120v outlets are normally installed? The reason I ask is because the 220v outlet for my kitchen range is surface-mounted on the baseboard, which keeps the range pushed out several inches from the wall instead of being as flush to the wall as possible. This is likely a silly question, but of all household 'stuff', I know the least about eletrical wiring, so hoping a kind soul can answer the question. ![]()
