Hello, I am in the process of researching my process for replacing my house’s current Gas water heater with a new Heat pump water heater. I’m specifically interested in a 240V model (More efficient) and as luck would have it, one of the lines off the fuse box is a 240V line going to an old in wall over that hasn’t really worked in years. It even has a junction box just before going up from the cellar.
So to power the new heater, I’ll disconnect the power from the broken oven and run a new line from the junction to the water heater. My question is, should I just run straight to the water heater, or should I add a shut off switch to supplement the option of shutting off from the fuse box?
Thanks.
