ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Will a 240v window air conditioner run OK on 208V?

Just my opinion, but...why not just get a window unit that is rated for nominal 208 volts?

Yes, you can install a buck-boost transformer onto the AC circuit back by the panel, but IMHO the labor and materials will probably be $$$ more than another AC; unless we are talking about a really 'big' window unit.
