I'm looking at running electrical wiring from my home to my garage. The distance is about 60 feet. I'm located in Calgary, AB, Canada.
It appears that wiring must be buried within a conduit and that direct burial wire is not allowed. Can anyone verify if this is the case?
This is a three car garage, with one stall being a small workshop. Considering that there will only ever be one person working in the garage, would a 30 amp double circuit service be OK, or should I run a 40 or even 60 amp service?
Since I'll have the trench open for electrical, and a gas line is permitted in the same trench, would it be wise to have the gas company/contractor come and install a gas line at the same time as I'm doing the electical?
Any information or suggestions are appreciated!
