No, you should not replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse in your heating and AC unit. The fuse is designed to protect the system from overcurrent; using a higher-rated fuse can allow excessive current to flow, potentially damaging the unit or causing a fire hazard. Always replace fuses with the correct amperage as specified by the manufacturer.

How can I safely replace a fuse for my AC unit?

To safely replace a fuse for your AC unit, first turn off the power to the unit at the main electrical panel. Locate the fuse box on the AC unit and remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Turn the power back on and test the AC unit to ensure it is working properly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with this process, it is best to contact a professional electrician or HVAC technician for assistance.

Can a 25 amp fuse replace a 30 amp fuse in a central ac unit?

It is not recommended to replace a 30 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse in a central AC unit. The fuse should match the specified amperage requirements to prevent damage or overheating of the unit. Using a lower amp fuse could potentially lead to electrical issues or failure of the AC unit.


What happens if a heating unit turns off and will not turn back on.. the thermostat is on 65 and I have the unit set to 70. The fan will not even turn on. This just happened?

Check the fuse by the furnace, usually right on the main switch, if that fuse ok then check the fuse in the breaker box, if all fuses are OK, then turn off the power to the heating unit for at least two minuets, this should reset the unit turn it back on and see if the unit turns on. If the above actions did not work call a qualified technician.

How do you replace the wire on an old fashioned fuse?

You do not replace the wire - you replace the fuse as a whole unit. Never try to "get by" with anything but the correct fuse - it is asking for a fire if you don't. If you have the old style which have screw on caps, you remove the caps and replace the fuse with the exact fuse material that is identical to the one that burned. Reinstall the caps tight and re-insert the fuse. These types of fuses are becoming obsolete and can be hard to find the fuse material for them. You can replace the fuse with a newer fuse rated for the same amperage as the old one. Note, however, that this type of fuse is higher amperage - 30 amps or above. The type of fuse described at the beginning of this answer - the old "screw in" type - is not fixable - it must be replaced outright
