    Wiring an A/C unit, making from in my panel

    I am looking to install an A/C unit. (3.5 ton York) I believe I need a 30 amp breaker. My panel is full but I have two beaker spots I will not use that are next to each other. My plan would be to pull those and replace them with the new 30 amp. Do I need to pull a permit? Location Edmonton, AB
