Make sure it's the RIGHT electricity. It's likely not. It's

be re-purposed if needed ( if it's an independent circuit now ). Have
your ( licensed insured ) contractor tell you.

The hole he's gonna have to make might be used to good avail also to
bring some other 120v circuit outside, if he re-purposes the existing
wire to 230 V.


I know it is now 120 volt on the balcony.

Hmm... I was looking at the 9CQ he

I see 115 volt. But that isn't the unit that gets the 30% tax credit. That
is the 9RL he

Which is 230 volt. And it appears that the supply voltage for the inside
unit is fed from the outside unit. And not just a low voltage wire. So a
bigger hole. Walls in her apartment building are poured concrete or
concrete block. Running 230 out there would be a major problem.
