Hi I recently purchased a thru the wall a/c unit. Come to find out the a/c wont run do to the outlet n breaker that is currently in place. we have been told that we have to switch out both outlet n breaker..

now my question is can i do this myself. the current breaker in place is a 15a 125v breaker and the outlet is also a 15a 125v. I was told to convert the both to a 20a 220v breaker. is this correct the clerk at home depot told me this.

My husband knows how to replace an outlet but has never had to replace a breaker any help or suggestions would be helpful.

The outlet for the a/c is the only dedicated line to the breaker
