Air Conditioning

Air conditioning circuits.

The part of an air conditioning job that happens before the unit goes on the wall, and the part that most often turns out to be the real work.

  • Jaz repaired our water heater and while doing so identified a faulty wiring issue with an existing element that meant it had never worked properly! Thanks to him our boiler is not only repaired but actually working better than ever before. Great job

Why a dedicated circuit

It is a large load that runs for hours.

Air conditioning is not a kettle. It draws heavily and runs for long stretches, which is why it belongs on its own circuit with its own protection rather than sharing with the power points in the room.

Sharing is how you end up tripping the circuit every time the compressor starts on a hot afternoon.

What we do

The electrical side of air conditioning.

  • Dedicated circuits for new and existing split systems
  • Isolators at the outdoor unit
  • Switchboard capacity assessment before installation
  • Switchboard upgrades where there is no room or protection
  • Circuits for multiple systems across a house
  • Fault finding on existing air conditioning circuits
  • Testing, certification and labelling

The third system

One is fine. Three is a board conversation.

Adding a split system to a house with a modern board and spare capacity is straightforward. Adding the third one to a full board is where the job grows, and it is the conversation we have most through spring.

We check the board and the supply as part of quoting rather than discovering it on installation day.

Answers

Common questions.

Usually. It is a large load running for long periods, and sharing a circuit is how you end up tripping on hot afternoons.

Then the board is the job. We assess it as part of quoting the air conditioning rather than finding out on the day.

Yes. Tell us the model and we will size the circuit for it.

It lets the outdoor unit be isolated safely for service without killing other circuits.
