+1, some will, some won't, depends what else is on circuit. Also +1 to finding a 20 amp AC circuit]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 14:42:17 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94811#94811 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94806#94806 Author: Outbound

The A/C startup surge can be a bit more than 1800 watts, but running is well under.  Depending on your house breaker, it may throw - but probably not.  Assuming that your home wiring is to current standards, you'll be fine to try it.  If you've got a 60 year old home with original wiring... I'd suggest that you look for a 20amp circut to plug into.]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 14:32:15 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94806#94806 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94803#94803 Author: StephenH

Depending on what is sharing the circuit in the house, it may trip the breaker or the GFI. That happens with us. I need to trace and see what else is on that circuit.

Yes. I do all the time. But when you do don't run the microwave or plug in a vacuum on the same circuit or it will trip the breaker. Mine consumes about 13 amps when it is running. Lights are negligible but high amp items cannot be run together unless you are hooked up to 30 amp service. ]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 13:16:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94797#94797 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94796#94796 Author: wcbnpb

Just picking up used 179 (20160 and wondering can we use the air conditioner connected to 15 amp circuit with adapter. Want to see if we can use pod as 'spare' guest room for summer guest? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR INPUT!  Billy]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 12:18:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10144&PID=94796#94796
