Running at 220 saves nothing. (Amps)x(volts)=watts. Double the volts 1/2's the amps, the watts remain unchanged. Need to save money, find ways to use less electricity!

Pop is correct. One thing 220 does do is reduce heat in the wires and distribute the load more evenly.

If you want to use 220 you will use a hot off one breaker and a hot off a separate breaker as your main incoming lines. No neutral. Make sure you use a ground! You need to make sure your breakers in your panel are rated for the load also. They should be but you need to check. If you are still unsure PM me and I will walk you through everything with some pictures and more detailed instructions.

BE SAFE.

Many thanks

I appreciate your input as the house I live in has in years past prior to me moving in had a house fire due to electric & is now appx. 1/2 the size it once was, So I of course look for ways to reduce the draw & the cost. Thanks again & Happy Growing.:Sharing One:
