Electrical Issues

I ran into another electrical problem today, only this one had two legs.  I know leg is an electrical term but not so in this situation.  We pulled into our new home and the minute we turned on the air conditioner it blew the breaker.  It was 112 degrees and we needed the AC.  It is irritating to me to deal with people who want to put the blame on something or someone else.  I told mom and Scott to talk to the person in charge about the problem. 

His response to mom and Scott was "you have 30 amps and you cannot run two air conditioners on 30 amps."

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! 
 
Word of advice for fellow readers - don't feed me bs when it is 112 degrees.  This person was so full of sh#t that if I planted him in the ground roses would bloom.

I ended up explaining to him that we were running on 15 amps not 30 amps.  On my control panel it shows that as soon as I go over 15 amps the breaker blows.  I also explained to him what a  PowerLine energy management system is.  He fixed the problem and we are now running our air conditioners.  Plus we have full 30 amp service not 15.

We are settled in.  The internet works great!  We also have over 100 channels on the old boob tube.  I have never in my entire life had that many TV channels.  I don't know what we have, I just hope we can find NBC, CBS, and ABC.  It is a major shock to go from zero to over 100 channels.  Kind of boggles the brain.  

It is a dark and stormy night.  Which is perfect sleeping weather and that is what I am going to do.  Good Night.
