Re:Connection at home
The answer is yes and maybe. Yes, if you do not run the AC unit at all. Maybe, if 1) you are running off of a 30 amp plug at your house. Many homes don't have 30 plugs! Anything built before '85 I would doubt. or 2) you install a special 30 amp plug just for that.
For what it is worth I keep mine plugged into a 20 amp plug most of the time. A friend stopped by and said that it was ok to run the AC on 20 amps, I said try it. It worked fine. I just happened to be passing the plug on the house about 5 min. later and felt the plug, Pulled it as fast as I could and then kept a close eye for the next 24 hours on the house where the plug was. The current was drawing so much power the plug was melting. I wonder why the breaker did not pop but it didn't. Could have burned down the house! :-[
