Breakers for air conditioner?
Inspected house with two roof top Rheem Rheem AC/Heat Combo Model RRKA-A030JK08E (heat & AC) combo units.

Unit 1 has a 35 AMP (240 VAC 120/120) tied or ganged breaker.

Unit has two separate breakers that are not tied or ganged
15 Amp breaker on Leg 1 (120) and a second 15 Amp breaker on Leg 2 (120).

I believe the Rheem spec for this model is 20 Amp minimum and 30 amp maximum for circuit protection.

Besides being under the minimum (15 amp) size breakers should they be tied.
