Air conditioner throwing the breaker
With the thermostat turned to OFF - when I reset my breaker to ON the air conditioner tries to start and all the lights dim and it throws the breaker. Had a technician in today and he at first said it was my breaker and than when I said that I had a cousin who could replace it - he said that he would try a Hard Start Kit and when it would attempt to start with that but failed he said it was the compressor and since my machine is almost 9 years old he said a new machine was needed...
Does all that sound logical? Why was it the breaker at first but than it was the Compressor?
