Good advice above. I'd ask though how the size of the breaker could make "the AC not blow as hard". I can understand the breaker tripping, since it's either working or tripped, but not affecting how hard it blows.
Well, I'm not an electrician (obviously!) but what I read on some other sites is that when the motor can't draw enough power it starts to reduce the efficiency of the A/C. That makes sense, but thinking it through, we can run the A/C fan on 12 volt with no shore power, so I don't think that has anything to do with the breaker.
It could have been the placebo effect, or maybe the A/C is able to produce colder air now and I mistook that for it blowing harder.
Either way, there's a real difference in the temperature now. We have a 3 month old so we have 2 thermometers inside. Every night it was up to 75 degrees when we put him to bed and now it's about 70. Outside temps have been the same.
