1) Within how many feet do you need a receptacle from a/c condensors?

2) Is it permissable to have garage receptacles wired in 14awg on a 15a circuit as long as they're GFCI protected?

3) Do garage door openers need to be on a dedicated circuit each?
-If so, is it permissable to put 2 or even 3 of them on the same circuit as long as all three do not max out the circuit?

-Do they have to be wired in 12awg 20amp or can you use 14awg 15a?

-Is it legal to tap off a garage lighting circuit or the garage receptacles to power a single garage opener?
