what he said

after than its pretty straight forward as far as the hookup, the only tricky part would be getting the wiring from point a to point b.

im pretty confident a 20 amp circuit, with #12 gauge wire would be sufficient for the app. I would really doubt it draws anymore than 8 amps at 220 volts.
