This is tricky. Most houses in the US haves 120/240 volts. The 240 volts is done by getting 120 volts from each leg of the panel. (The three wires going in to the panel are 120-A, 120-B, and neutral. 120-a is "black", 120-b is "red" The 120Volts on each leg is compared to the neutral leg. The 240 volts is gotten from leg to leg. Putting a breaker in the panel and running the wire is not something you should do by your self if you are asking this question.

If you short something in the main panel, you could kill yourself and ruin your panel.

The panel is replaceable.

Before you hire an electrician or a handy man, ask them if they are familiar with NFPA 70.

If they have a sense of self preservation and some basic training, they will say something like there is no reason to work on your panel hot.

Good luck

110 volt air conditioner or 220 air conditioner?

If you are about to purchase a window unit, the answer depends on a few factors: 110/115/120 volt units are generally not available in the larger cooling capacity sizes. If you need to cool one average sized bedroom and have a 110 outlet near a window, this should do the trick, and you won't need an electrician to install new wires. If you need to cool an entire house, then you are going to need a 220/240 volt unit or multiple 110 volt units. If you are talking about a central system, then the furnas, or indoor section will most likely be 110 volt and the outdoor unit 220 and you will need to have it professionally installed anyway.
