I think your landlord would want to be involved in anything requiring
an electrician.

Thank you for the friendly reply. I will call the landlord tommorow.
Another person told me that it would not be able to because the ac
needs to on its own circut breaker does that person know what he is
talking about I went to Home depot and asked around and one of
salespeople told me this he said that you might need more power to
run the ac.

That might be true. It all depends on the specifics of what you have
and what you need to install.

That might maybe possibly could be depends on almost sometimes not quite
supposedly.....................

Nice when you can answer safely and only appear to know what your talking
about isn't it?

The /best/ advice is OP needs to have his landlord take care of
this....period.- Hide quoted text -

What about central air is that a better soultlon I can ask my landlord
to install the airconditioner.

If you have central forced air heating then yes central air
conditioning would be the way to go.- Hide quoted text -

I called my landlord he said that the socket must be changed and we
should get a unit that is 110 volts. He is comming to change to socket
tommorow.

??? That's a bit odd.

I hope for your sake he knows what he's doing.

If you see him changing breakers, you might want to get a second opinion
from a licensed electrician.

He is just going to change the socket. The salesperson said that we
should be fine.- Hide quoted text -

I don't know what he is accomplishing by just changing the outlet.

He's probably putting in one that will accommodate a high amp plug.
You've probably seen them -- the ones with one prong turned 90 degrees.
The problem arises if the wiring isn't appropriate to such a socket.

What is the standard size of the socket?
