Not a chance, as I said cable is the best way us sparkies charge up that call out is dirt cheap for a PH anytime ive gone for a call out on a regular mid week job its a minimum $500 bill before I get out the car, add a PH you can double it mind you if it was our fhuck up no way in hell would we try and charge a thing as that's just bad form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawling around inside roofs suck. Especially in +30c. Haven't stripped a wire in over 20 years ( not really true I do minor stuff). I kept changing professions looking for the bucks. Finally cashed in............... Bet its a loose connection at the breaker , or 4mm for the circuit and 2.5mm from the main switch to the A/C breaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say they have used 2.5mm and not a 6mm and a Amp that cant hod the power levels to run the A/C. Sparky said should run 42A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wiring was too thin for the load and heated up and burnt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the unit run the whole house. The large units are usually 3 phase. Edited 26/12/16 08:41 AM by arronm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
