In this case with the new dedicated breaker I don't care for nor want an additional isolator. |

.... so they've dunned you for the extra cost of the wire, which should have been largely or completely offset by the cost of the isolator they failed to install, and left you with an installation that may not even be code compliant. :'( Please at least tell me that either the breaker box is lockable with a padlock or the new breaker is lockable, so the aircon can be locked-out/tagged-out for service by a HVAC tech, without having to get a fully certified electrician in to isolate it. |

There will be a groove in the base of the lever when in the off position and two small holes on either side for fitting one of these: You can also use these: |
