    Re: Central AC Issues

    Pam, I have an LG portable AC unit that I bought like 3 years ago and it works great. It is supposed to self empty through the exhaust but sometimes on humid days it fills up and then I have to empty it which sucks. Other than that it works awesome.

    How many btus and how big a room. First one we got was 9000 and it only blew hot air so we took it back and got a 14,000 and this one keeps tripping the breaker.

    I bought this new from Home Depot. I've had it plugged into crappy electrical system at my old apt (converted farm house) and it only tripped the breaker when I had it on and vacuumed at the same time.

    We get the other one hooked up and it keeps blowing the bedroom breaker. This one is a 14,000 BTU and I guess the bedroom plugs do not have enough power for it.

    I figured the plugs would. The upstairs was build in 1983 I think.

    Not sure I want to try another one. Tired of bringing them home and having them crap out on us.
    run a new line to the AC unit.

    We got a company called Centra-Spike coming out at 6:30 tonight to look at it.

    I friggin' hate not knowing anything about HVAC. Cars, I'm golden. Nobody's gonna bullshit me into anything. But how the hell do I know what makes sense with this ish?

    Looks like you have it all taken care of, was going to give you a reference, but never mind. Good luck!
