Amperage draw and length of run determine your answer. No one here can give you the correct response without both. Try searching the NEC or the Home Electric section of Wiki once you have this data.

What size wire to run air handler which requires a 100 amp breaker?
If the run is less than 100' use 4 AWG copper.
Will 2.5mm wire conduct 240 volts?
You size wire by the current. Various insulations are rated for voltage, temperature and the medium where the wire will be run.
What is the minimum size wire allowed for a parallel run?
The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?
The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.
What size wire for 72 amp motor?
You will need AWG #3 if it is a short run.
What size wire to run air handler which requires a 100 amp breaker?
If the run is less than 100' use 4 AWG copper.
What size wire do you need to run to an air conditioner that has a maximum breaker size of 40 amps and a minimum circuit size of 25.3 amps?
Number 10 thnn copper wire.
How do you install an ac unit?
air handler in/under house,level,wire electric,run drain pipe.condenser outside,level,wire electric.Pipe between the two with the proper line sizes.Pull vaccum on entire system.Charge with appropiate freon charge.Wire t-stat.set t-stat to cool.Feel cold air blow.considering you did install the appropiate duct work needed.

What is wrong if the air handler fan has not been kicking on unless you change the thermostat to the run cycle?
Could be a bad thermostat.
What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?
The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
What size wire required to run 5 amp 220v?
45
What do you need to do if the inside blower on your air conditioner does not cut off?
Check the thermostat. Make sure the fan switch is on auto. If it is disconnect the green wire from the control box at the air handler. This will disconnect the fan from the thermostat. If the fan continues to run, you have a stuck fan relay. If the fan shuts off, you have a bad thermostat.

The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
Is it okay to run an air handler continuously?
Yes, in fact it will lower your energy consumption if you have an energy efficient handler. By running it continuously it lowers the temperature and therefore the condenser will not come on as often. The condenser consumes quite a bit more energy. Handlers are designed to run continuously.

The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table.
