Dedicated Circuit and Outlet For AC Unit

We ran a separate circuit with its own outlet and circuit breaker for the AC and for an electric space heater. This prevents burnt up outlets that are commonly seen for window units that share a circuit and have cheap outlets. The plugs next to it are on a different circuit.
