    220 or 110?

White and Black, am I right assuming that this is a 220?

    Would not assume without checking with a volt meter.

    Do u have any 220 breakers in panel box? If u do, shut them off one at a time and check the wires for voltage. It may be a 20 or 30 amp circuit that was used for AC at one time.
