    20 Amp Outlet
    I have a new a/c heating unit which has specs for 20 amps 208/230 volts. The old unit was 30 amps with the same voltage. Can I still use the same line?

    Does the unit draw 20A? Or does it require a 20A circuit.

    If it requires a 20A circuit you can just change the receptacle and breaker.
