Bought a 220V electrical stove but only have a 110V outlet in home

[NJdeveloper]

The electrical box is on the other side of the kitchen and an electrician would have to break the wall and ceiling to upgrade the 110V outlet - very pricey. Are there any other alternatives? Is there anything that could just convert the outlet for use with a 220V appliance?

Do they make 30inch stainless steel electrical stoves with 110v?

Thanks!

Do you have access to the bottom side of the cabinet where the stove top is installed? Is there a crawl space or basement below the cabinet?

220V electrical stove but only have a 110V outlet in home... an electrician would have to break the wall and ceiling to upgrade the 110V outlet - very pricey.

Often new electrical lines can be installed without breaking walls and ceilings. Have you actually had an electrician in to quote you on the work involved???

Are there any other alternatives?

Besides install a gas appliance which only uses 120 volts? Not that I can think of.

Is there anything that could just convert the [120 volt] outlet for use with a 220V appliance?

No.

Do they make 30inch stainless steel electrical stoves [which operates on only] 110v?

No.

Is your electrical panel box built into the kitchen wall? Is that your percieved dilemna?

Is there a problem keeping you from running a new designated 220 from the box, under the floor and up to a recepticle?...like a crawl space that is too shallow to crawl in?...or what?

Licensed electricians are really the ones that people SHOULD be using to run new wire. Liability and possible home insurance issues, should there ever be a problem. BUT, where I come from, there are many competant handymen types that are skillful enough for such a task, as such a job is so rudimentary that the risk really is not there, IMO. Not for a person truly experienced in such work. And, what would save you even more money is the fact you wouldn't need both an electrican AND a sheetrock repair specialist as the handyman could do it all, turnkey. This is the very kind of work handymen often do for landlords.
