To determine if your circuit breaker can handle a 12,000 or 14,000 BTU portable AC, check the unit's power requirements, usually listed in watts on the specification label. Most portable ACs of that size require between 1,000 to 1,500 watts, which translates to about 8 to 12 amps at 120 volts. Ensure your circuit breaker is rated for at least 15 amps, but ideally, it should be 20 amps to accommodate the AC and any additional load. If you’re uncertain, consult an electrician for a thorough evaluation.

Can a 12000 BTU air conditioner run on 15 amp breaker?

It is possible for a 12000 BTU air conditioner to run on a 15 amp breaker, but it may cause the breaker to trip if there are other appliances drawing power on the same circuit. It is recommended to have a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner to prevent overloading the breaker.

Can you use a double pole 15 amp breaker in place of a 20 amp single pole breaker for a 12000 BTU air conditioner?

If the 12,000 BTU A/C only requires 20 amps to run then yes you can use the same 12 gauge wire but you cannot change it to a 15 amp breaker. You will need to install a 20 amp double pole breaker. If it requires more than 20 amps you will have to replace the wiring and breaker.
