Electrical Question from Mark about Circuit Breaker
Background: Mark, a Homeowner from Muskogee, OK.
[ad#block]Question: My air conditioner keeps tripping it’s breaker (60 amp) every few days. Should I just replace the breaker? Or, should I call an electrician or a HVAC person?

Additional Comments: Great Website!

Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Mark. I would call a HVAC Service Technician who can provide a series of tests to see what the problem may be. Chances are it may just need to have some Freon added. Changing the circuit breaker is not advisable.
