GARAGE ELECTRICAL
Currently...
There is 14ga wire (no ground) on a 20A breaker (grrrr),
running thru 1/2" conduit - breaker is about 40ft from garage.
The garage has an opener and freezer.
There are a couple of outlets in metal boxes/conduits as well.
I'm going off this ampacity chart:

I have a few spools of 14ga THHN wire now.
I'm trying to be cheap/frugal and (re)use it if possible.
I know I'll need at least 25-30A (110V) and can be on two+ circuits.
Since I HAVE to change things, I was wondering:
1) Would it be better to just run 220V@30A using 10/3?

Assuming that would give me two 110V@30A each circuits?
I don't have a "NEED" for 220V, but thought it might be nice for
future expansion.
2) Just pull two or three pairs of 14ga THHN plus a ground?
(Sounds like a mofo to pull being in 1/2" conduit)
3) Something else all together?
BTW...
I have NFC, if that wasn't obvious ;)
