    14 AWG cable can support only 15 amps. Is that what you are using within the garage?

    You can proably find the cable that you want at just about any local electrical supply store. The three national chain stores that I know the most are "Grainger", "City Electrical Supply" and "Graybar". These stores are not cheap, you may well get a better at a local supply shop.

    Words of caution, the cable must be UL listed to be used as Overhead cabe and supported according to the NEC.
