House building

[Clay Showalter]

Any chance in getting a better description of what type of units? and where exactly they will be? Might possibly suggest an even better solution for you if I know exactly what and where you are talking about. Pictures might help me out if you got'em.

You da man, I know I need #12 wire and (1) 25 amp breaker and (2) 20 amp breakers. here is the layout and plate for each unit.

I personally would use Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (Sealtight) for added strength, durability and protection, plus aesthetics, especially from any dogs that might possibly attempt to chew on it. For instance, one regular larger PVC (1" to 1-1/2") conduit for all the new circuits strapped to the house and the deck, plumbed to a large enough PVC junction box fastened to the deck just off the ground, then Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (Sealtight) to each A/C unit w/ required circuit from the box to the service connection of the A/C unit itself and be done with it. Should last a lifetime and never should have to worry about moisture/water or animals eating away at you electric stuff, and in my opinion, it will look so much cleaner and professional. All wire then can be THHN inside what materials I mentioned above.

Good luck! Looks awesome!

Yea I was thinking along those lines, my understanding is I don’t have to have a disconnect since the breakers are in sight of the units.

No disconnect, yes, that is all you should have to do as long as whomever can get to the marked/labeled panel when any service needs to be done on any of the A/C units.

We are almost at the end, past my electrical final with only 3 little things to fix. Plumbing and HVAC finals should be this week. Had to take a break as we are moving, closed on our house a couple of weeks ago, to someone we know and he gave us some time to get out. Should have ask for more time but it will work out.

Shitty thing is this is the hottest days of the year, 94 today, 94 tomorrow, 95 Monday.

Also if you didn’t know, moving SUCKS!!

You don’t realize how much shit you own until you have to move.

Saying that you’ve built a beautiful home is a huge understatement! You’ve taken it to the next level! Outstanding job!
