[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is going through this, I would have an electrician check out your wiring, panel and service line first. We found out that we had insufficient service to add mini splits or heat pumps to cool our upstairs, so we had the fun of upgrading that with our utility provider, redoing the panel, and then getting to rewire half the house where seemingly new wiring was actually running off knob and tube from 1937.[/quote] A 1950s house is very unlikely to have the unsafe knob-and-tube wiring, but is likely to need an electrical service upgrade and panel upgrade to support the new A/C. Probably start with checking into that. [/quote]
