I need of an electrician!! Any recommendations?
I just purchased an commercial grade electric power washer. It runs on single phase electricity and have 2 different voltage configurations it can run on. 230V @ 22.5 amps, or 208V @ 23.5 amps I was told. The electric panel is in my garage so I wouldn't need to wire it too far, approx. 10ft.
I'm looking for a certified electrician that does tidy work at a reasonable price. Any advise on how this should be done will be greatly appriciated!!
Thanks in advanced.

pretty simple for some but for safety i would not recommend a DIY unless you know about these types of power wiring... one wrong move/touch could kill someone so not a good idea to DIY...
i know about these types of power but even that scares me...btw...208 for 3 phase systems and 230/240 for dual/split phase...whatever you want to call it...house will most certainly be the dual/split phase...if you're already confused just look for someone in the yellow pages...
