Before you have this done make sure the electrician knows what you need. It is not a normal 220V circut it is two 110V.
What screws people up is the old services that were THREE wire 220 volt services where there is no neutral. The standard outlet for one of those looks similar to a 30 amp rv outlet. However, the 30 amp rv plug will not fit those outlets. Unfortunately people have either forced their plog into one of those outlets oe modified the outlet to accommodate the plug. That I where bad things happen. Four wire to four wire is fine almost 100% of the time (extreme human error not withstanding).
