Why is my air conditioner tripping the circuit breaker?

Common Causes

Dirty Air Filter or Coils – A clogged air filter or dirty evaporator/condenser coils can restrict airflow, forcing the Air Conditioner/AC to work harder and draw more power.
Faulty Capacitor – The capacitor helps start the compressor. If it’s weak or failing, the compressor struggles to start, leading to high current draw and breaker trips
Low Refrigerant Level – Low refrigerant can cause the system to overwork, increasing power draw and triggering the breaker.
Incorrect Sizing – The circuit breaker itself may be faulty or undersized for the AC’s electrical load.
Overloaded Circuit – Your AC unit might be drawing more power than the circuit can handle, Other high-power appliances might be sharing the same circuit, causing an overload.

Use low-VOC or VOC-free adhesives, paints, and coatings to minimize harmful emissions.
Reduce on-site cutting and processing of materials that contribute to dust and pollution.
Choose materials with minimal off-gassing, such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and low-formaldehyde insulation.
Deploy water misting systems to reduce airborne dust at demolition and excavation sites.
Install wheel washing stations for construction vehicles to reduce dirt and dust tracking.
Deploy portable HEPA filters and air scrubbers to capture dust, pollutants, and airborne particles.
Apply coatings that break down pollutants like NOx and VOCs when exposed to sunlight.
Deploy real-time monitoring systems to track pollutants like PM2.5, CO₂, and VOCs.
Replace diesel-powered machinery with electric alternatives to reduce emissions.
Use cleaner fuels for construction vehicles and generators.
Encourage the use of electric or CNG-powered logistics vehicles for material transport.
Implement negative pressure areas to prevent pollutants from spreading to surrounding zones.
