Three breakers for the A/C sounds hinky though. You should have one
double breaker for the A/C, period. If you can't figure that one out
yourself, you may wish to call an electrician to look at it - something
ain't right there.

One double breaker (although I've seen 2 singles instead. They should
be next to each other) and another (single) for the blower?

yabbut, he said that if any of the breakers were on that it'd work,
that can't possibly be right.

Hey nate,

Hate to say it, but that is the way it is. If any of those three breakers
is on, the outside compressor comes on when called upon. This is why I said
that whoever wired this house had to be stupid, crazy or on drugs (maybe all
three.) Please tell me why you say it can't possibly be, and help me
understand this mess.

Thanks,

Dave
