Why do I need a 20 amp dedicated circuit?

The components of all of our units and the owner’s guides are reviewed and certified by the ULCSE. This indicates that the information AFG presents and the components used together are safe, in compliance and will not cause any problems. A 20 amp dedicated circuit is needed to insure the amount of power available to the unit is the most adequate as possible. Over time components will wear down and draw more power than what is available, causing the circuit to blow.
