How much would it cost to change the voltage of an outlet?

We currently have a gas dryer and are switching to an electric but do not have the correct type of outlet. Never used an electrician before so have no idea how much it might cost. Thanks!How much would it cost to change the voltage of an outlet?it really depends on how far away the breaker box is from the place you need the outlet changed. And how your breaker box is setup.

IF you already have the breakers installed, and it is close, probably $100-300.

If no existing breaker and a longer distance, the sky is the limit.How much would it cost to change the voltage of an outlet?Receptical about $9

Box about $1.50

30 Amp 2-Pole breaker $13

plus work and wire (wire is #10 3 conductor with a ground [approx $.50 a foot])How much would it cost to change the voltage of an outlet?before getting too het up,,, have someone check your wall for a 220 cable!! usually when houses are built they will run a 220 line to that area where the gas line is,, it may just be a cable laying on the bottom or may have a connection box that was covered up for later use such as you wish to do now!! if you are talking about a designated laundry room then this is probably what they did!!!!
