Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex


I’m having a dedicated in wall AC cable run, about 40-50 ft. I was planning on using VH audio cryo’d 10-2 Romex but the contractor wants to use BX since it’s an urban area and more impervious to mice, etc.

Any thoughts on this?

Also I was planning on wiring the end of the run with an 20 Amp IEC connector so I could plug it directly into my Niagara 7000. I don’t know if they will wire it this way but I thought I could always do that myself later.

Before you get into an argument with your contractor you might want to look up the code in your area for what is required to pass inspection. Example in Chicago area almost all electrical wire must be contained in conduit. If there is no code restriction tell him or her what you want and if they won’t go elsewhere.
