What is wrong when you switch from fan to air conditioner and it shuts the breaker in the electricity box?

You're actually OPENING the breaker. And it means you're drawing too much power. 1 air conditioner=about 10 box fans. Try unplugging things using the same circuit. An air conditioner draws a lot of juice. An A/C and a microwave, for example, are too much for most homes to handle. Your breaker box should (hopefully) tell you what breaker goes where.

However, factors such as the size of the room, insulation, and local electricity rates should also be considered when determining the most cost-effective option.
