What can I do about my air conditioning that always trips the circuit breaker?

Answer by  maggie711 (285)

Your AC was installed after your house was built. Existing electric circuits cannot handle the additional load the AC requires. Get an electrician to update your wiring. "Overload" causes fires.

Copy of options. Get a lower wattage air conditioner, have less things on that circuit, or increase the circuit from single to double.

You could have an electrician connect the air conditioner to a different circuit to reduce the load on the one it is connected to now.

the problem wont go away until you either get an air conditioner that doesnt require as much juice from the power source or upgrade your outlet to a bigger watt
