You need to check the compressor sticker or plate. If faded or unreadable try the installation paperwork/instructions. Typically you can search by the model number online to find it.

Air conditioner blows circuit breaker when heating?

If you have a heat pump and the breaker blows in heat cycle then you probably also have auxiliary electric heat which is drawing too much current because of a faulty heater element.


How does an electric heat pump work?

An electric heat pump can heat up your home during winter and cool it during summer.


Can a 220 Volt well motor be added to a 200 amp box or does it need its own box?

The well pump breaker is installed in two slots in your breaker box. You then run the correct size cable for the amperage of the pump to the area where the pressure tank is located. install a breaker or disconnect on the wall near the pressure tank and then connect the low pressure switch to the disconnect. Connect the pump to the low pressure switch.


What size wire do you use to install a 40 amp breaker for a 2amp pool pump?

I think you mean 2 HP pump. I am assuming a 220 To 240 volt supply and that should equate to about a 12 amp current. All my pumps use only a 30 amp breaker and 10 AWG wire.


Do i need to switch circuit breaker since i went from 115V well pump to 230V well pump it is also a higher HP pump but pressure is lower than before?

The 230v breaker is 2-pole, The 115v is only single-pole so YES you need a new breaker. DON'T use 2 single-pole breakers instead. The well pump will run to the pressure setting of the pressure switch controlling it, regardless of HP. The difference might be in the size of the pump in flow rating, I.E. a 1/2 HP pump rated at 10gpm @ 70 psi won't perform the same as a 3/4 HP pump rated at 20 gpm @ 50 psi. Check the pump curve and pressure switch setting. The pressure switch for the new pump will need both power leads connected to the switch (1 lead per contact set), not 1 wire as the 115v motor was.

What type of circuit has double 20amp breaker going to a separate box at that separate box there is a well pump with another 20amp breaker to that?

Sounds like a 240 volt sub panel feeding a well pump.


Do you need a furnace when installing a heat pump?

Yes, a furnace is not required when installing a heat pump as the heat pump can provide both heating and cooling functions.


Do you need a license to buy a heat pump?

I do not know of any jurisdiction in which a license would be required for a heat pump.

Where is the fuse for the air suspension pump?

I believe it is under the passengers seat. In my 1991 there is a circuit breaker under the hood in the fuse panel. Check manual.


Why will my heat pump not start when i turn on thermostat?

First, is the thermostat in he correct position for cooling? Is there a red light glowing on the thermostat? There could have been a power surge or outage and the heat pump needs to reset. Turn the power off to the heat pump at the control panel for a couple or minutes then back on again to reset the heat pump.


Why is my pool pump not receiving power even though the breaker has not tripped?

There could be several reasons why your pool pump is not receiving power even though the breaker has not tripped. Some possible causes include a faulty connection, a problem with the pump motor, a malfunctioning timer or control panel, or a wiring issue. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician or pool technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

What size in amperage circuit breaker should be used for a pool pump?

The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
