a/c conversion from 220 to 110??

Tags: Electrical & Lighting
i have a a/c unit that needs 220 1phase, and was wondering is there a way to convert it to a 110? reason for this is i just moved to a new aptment and have no 220 outlet for me, and i once read that some 220 applaiances can be converted to use 110.

thanks

It's unlikey, but if it can be done that should be indicated on the unit and in the instructions that came with it.

Dear Audiov:

How about converting the 110-volt receptacle to 220-volt receptacle? That’s much easier. That is, of course, the 110-volt outlet in your apartment is a dedicated line.
