Is it OK to supply 2 air handlers (fans for cooling systems, with cooling coils - no compressor) with a single 15-amp breaker? I never saw this before - usually, each a/h has a dedicated OPD.

The crazy thing about this is if this were a heating unit-- gas furnace- you would need a separate circuit.
The article I was thinking about is 422.12-- seems like an odd place for it but...Dennis,
forgive my ignorance but can you point me in the right direction in regards to where I can find this information cause I may deserve a smack on the back of the head.....shhhh don't tell anyone.
422.12 Central Heating Equipment.
Central heating equipment other than fixed electric space-heating equipment shall be supplied by an individual branch circuit.
Exception No. 1: Auxiliary equipment, such as a pump, valve, humidifier, or electrostatic air cleaner directly associated with the heating equipment, shall be permitted to be connected to the same branch circuit.
Exception No. 2: Permanently connected air-conditioning equipment shall be permitted to be connected to the same branch circuit.
