In this home improvement video I'm going to show you how to add a new circuit in your garage. I was having issues with the breaker tripping when my air compressor would kick on. So, I added a 20 amp circuit in the garage in addition to my existing 15 amp circuit. This is an essential home improvement for a workshop.

For this install, I need to install a GFCI outlet, a new outlet, 12/2 wiring, and installing a 20 amp circuit breaker. I had to cut and repair drywall and run electrical wire from my basement to my attic, to my garage.

For this you will need to work inside the electrical box and you will need in install an new breaker. Working with electricity is dangerous. If you are uncomfortable, call an electrician.
