You need to know how to instal an AC, what sort of connection will be needed for it, what will be its power consumption, and more. We wanted to instal two 2-ton air conditioners last year but weren't sure if doing so on the same breaker would be a good idea. Such things are very important to consider. However, before I answer whether you can opt for 2 aircon in 1 breaker or not, let me share what the purpose of a breaker is. Read this answer and find out everything.

What is a circuit breaker?A circuit breaker is a switch that aims to protect electrical circuits from any damage that can be caused by overcurrent, overload, or even a short circuit.
Can you put two air conditioners on one circuit breaker?I was not aware of the breakers or circuits that will be required to instal ACs, but my husband was. He asked the electrician- Can I put 2 air conditioners in 1 circuit breaker or not and that is when I learned the answer. This is something that only an electrician can explain in detail. In our case, we were asked to have a separate circuit for our second AC, but it might not be the same for all. The number of ACs in 1 circuit breaker will depend on
Whether the ACs will overload the circuit or not
What amount of power will the ACs consume
Whether there is a chance of fire hazard in the future and more
You can instal 2 ACs on one breaker, but in the long run, it can be risky. Hence, it is always encouraged that you go for another separate circuit or breaker for your second AC.
So before installing 2 aircon in 1 breaker, seek an electrician’s advice.
