The house I purchased a few years back came with a gas oven. I am looking to upgrade to a duel-range oven (gas top, electric oven) and therefore am looking to install an outlet where the stove is.
My plan is to install the outlet myself and run the wire to the box and then pay a professional to actually tie it into the box. I also plan to run the wire through the crawl space and across the floor truss (as the oven is on the opposite of the house where the electrical box is).
Two questions:
1) is it recommended/safe to run the wire through the crawl space as I have suggested
2) can the wire be exposed or should I run it through conduit (medal or PVC)
Thanks in advance
