So I'd like a 30 amp plug installed in my garage, is this something a DIYer can do? I was curious also if it is possible to use the wiring for an existing basic outlet to swap out the standard plug with a 30 amp plug if the breaker fuse is updated to a 30 amp fuse? Or would the wire gauge not be sufficient? Anyone do this? Thanks in advance for any pointers of suggestions.
