I will be moving in a few months and the brewery will be in the garage about 15ft from the panel. Right now I have two 2000w 120v elements running my HLT/BK. Both together are running at 33.3amps. If I move to a 240v 4500w element it would run ~ 19amps. A significant difference. Would the cost saving of electricity out way the cost of upgrading? I would need a new BK (penrose) and possibly build a new control panel. Or, should I stay 120v? My current set up works great. Just don't want to spend more running it than I need to.
