I just had a 240 volt air conditioner, 24,000 BTU, installed and my electrical bill tripled. I don't know if it is because of more electricity being consumed or the bad electrical installation.
Instead of installing a double breaker in a 240 volt breaker box he ran one of the a/c wires to a single breaker in a 120 volt breaker box that I have in the house and the second wire from the a/c was hooked up to a single 120 volt breaker in a different breaker box in my workshop. The a/c works but the consumption is crazy. Please advise
