My central ac went tits up, so I installed an old 220 Window unit until I can save up for a replacement. I just ran the romex from the breaker box up to the bottom of the soffit and secured it around to the back of my house around 30' away. My neighbor mentioned that might be a problem when the meter reader comes around. Is this unsafe and is it a code violation in Harris County? It's only temporary but I don't want to get a fine.
Thanks |

If you have no exposed or bare copper exept for the ground wire, so nothing shorts out,
all of your connections covered, and the wire is sized big enough you should be fine. Right on about the labeling the plug 220v, I have seen several things blown up/melted down by unmarked 220 plugs. If it was going to be more that a couple of weeks, I would do something different. Make sure it would be rain proof, not that we have that issue right now... |
