The 220 volt circuits as they were known prior to the 1960s are now commonly known as 240 volt circuits and 110 volt circuits are now 120 volt circuits. Most of the circuit breakers in a typical residential panel control 110 volt circuits but every panel usually also has at least one 220 volt breaker. In some quarters the term 220 volt has become synonymous with 240 volt which in most countries has become the dominant standard just as 120 volt circuits have replaced 110 volt models. While most outlets transfer 120 volts larger appliances like dryers stoves and air conditioners require more power and use a 220 volt outlet.

Fortunately there are multiple vacancies inside the garage panel for more 220v breakers which i intend to use for this job.
