The genius who installed the 3 ac units in my house 8 years ago reversed 2 and put a small compressor in the highest floor and a bigger compressor for the smaller finished basement. They switched the 2 when I pointed out the obvious mistake and they swore that they checked the inside units of each to make sure no other changes were necessary.
However for years, the slightest burp in electricity makes the circuit breaker go on the larger unit. Took me 8 years but it suddenly dawned on me that they did not move the breakers when they moved the 2 units. Sure enuf the smaller unit is on a 20 amp breaker and the larger is on a 15 amp breaker. Usually I have to reset the breaker for the larger unit 4 times a year when there is a blip in the power supply.
Anyway, I'm thinking that I should switch out the 2 breakers so they match the correct compressors respectively. My question is whether I need to worry about the wiring... would a 15 amp circuit and 20 amp have the same wire size... or is that another problem. I intend on examining the wiring but sometimes after 8 years it can be impossible to read the faded text.
Anything else I might be forgetting? Thanks.
