Replacement of Disconnect Box in Tampa

The National Electrical Code requires that all HVAC systems have a readily accessible method for disconnecting from electrical power. In most cases, this is done through an easily removable switch or disconnect switch which can be found in your home's circuit box and allows you to remove every trace of energy flowing into the device. The pull-out disconnect switch is an important safety device that allows technicians to work on high voltage appliances without having access to the circuit breaker. This is important because it prevents electrical issues when making repairs to your HVAC system. When you hire Momentum AC Services, we will ensure that your replacement of the disconnect box is installed and performing properly. 

What Is an AC Disconnect Switch?

An AC disconnect, also called an air conditioner switch or fuse box, protects the wires of an ac unit from weather and other outdoor elements. It is commonly found outside with the end of the air conditioner showing inside the house. An AC disconnect switch is not intended for use by the general public and is not meant to turn on and off your HVAC system during normal operation, but rather as a last resort for when repairs are needed or maintenance is done by qualified HVAC technicians in Tampa. One of the importance of an external disconnect box is that you can quickly and conveniently manage regular repairs as well as streamline maintenance for your air conditioning system. A disconnect box will add protection to you and to your service technician from any power surges.
