The job
This 20,000 sq ft home in Lakewood was getting all 5 of its AC condensers replaced. The new equipment needed electrical to match, so George handled the power side from the panel to every unit.
Sizing it from the nameplate
Every condenser has a nameplate that sets the rules. On these Lennox 5-ton units it lists a minimum circuit ampacity of 34.7 amps and a maximum breaker of 60 amps. George sized each breaker and wire run to fit inside those numbers, so the units get the power they need and stay protected.
A clean panel and a clean run
He installed a new Square D outdoor panel and landed every conductor clean and color-coded, with a dedicated ground. Then he ran metal conduit along the outside of the house, bending each piece to follow the curved bay wall so it looks as good as it works.
The job was done to code and all 5 units were ready for startup.
