Electric Service Upgrade for Air Conditioner Installation
Recently, many people are considering installing air conditioners. There is a problem with electricity to install the air conditioner. In order to increase the electric capacity, we have received a lot of inquiries about electricity construction costs.
The answer is about $ 2,000 to $ 3,000.
The most recently built houses are air-conditioned. However, old houses did not have air conditioning in the past, so only electricity was installed at that time. So to install the air conditioner now, you have to increase the electric capacity.
Capacity is determined by the conditions of the building and the type and size of the air conditioner.
However, small window-type air conditioners are available in most residential buildings with conventional capacities.
For two-bedroom houses, typically 240 volts and 30 amps are installed for air conditioning. If you have a second floor, you need an additional 240 volts and 30 amps.
In order to increase the electricity supply, it is necessary to contact with the electric contractor for technical review. After review the electric contractor request to SERVICE UPGRADE to Edison or DWP.
