Your Electrical Wiring

Another very important and commonly overlooked matter (especially in an older home) is the power requirements your home needs to run your new air conditioning system. In most instances the power supply to your home will be fine. In other instances you may require an upgrade or reconfiguration of the existing set up.

The amount of power an air conditioning system consumes will depend on the type and size of the system and if your existing power supply is not adequate you could experience problems like overloaded consumer mains. This means there is too much power going through your cables and they could heat up and can cause a fire.

Overloaded consumer mains are dangerous and illegal.
