| Sep 8, 2018 at 6:48 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | You may have a "rule of six" panel, where you need to turn off "the top six" (read: all the breakers in the top 12 spaces) to shut power off. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:29 | comment | added | Machavity | I'm with TPE. I have 2 subpanels (one is the "master" for the house but is really a 70A feed from a panel by the meter). My AC units are fed off these true masters so cutting my subpanel doesn't affect them. There's also a possibility (if unlikely) that the condenser is somehow able to feed the Thermostat (blowers and condensers are typically on separate breakers) | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 3:24 | comment | added | BestQualityVacuum | @ThreePhaseEel I'm not sure. I know that in my main circuit breaker, I can turn off switches to the HVAC system outside, turning off both of my units, but there doesn't seem to be a switch that turns off the heater used on my second floor. | |
