I bought picrel heater for my attached garage.

I will snake the wire through the wall myself and have an electrician do the connections. My question is should I use 6/2 or 6/3 wire?

Cringe bump. The more I read online - and not AI shit but actual forums - the /3 uses the additional wire so 120 could be used at the same location, is the correct? I understand the gauge and all that shit, I have seen people use 8gauge instead, but for the little money more i'd rather use 6.

Honestly my only question here is because when I looked at 6/2 in the store I balked because it was always my understanding 220v had 3 wires + ground.

i think ground is a safety code added after the wire definitions so /2 should include ground. meaning 3 wires in the sheath
