    Window a/c unit
    Good evening ladies and gentlemen,


    I need to install a circuit for a window a/c unit that is 18,000 Btu's. It's going in a second floor apartment. So I would have to run about 25' to service panel. Can anyone tell me what size wire I should use and how many?

    Thanks guys and all of you veterans helping Diy'ers like myself. :)

    Need to know what voltage the unit needs. This will be in the manufacturers instructions, and on the nameplate, which will also tell you what size circuit is needed.
