A/C 230 or 110

Post by capdenny »

Hi,

I would like to know the advantage of installing a 230 volt A/C over a 110 volt A/C

Thank You,

Less current draw for the same amount of work is the big one. Having a dual/split system on board has it's advantages; ie. 110v for typical loads/appliances/hardware, and 220v for items like air conditioners, stoves, etc.
