Southwire 250-ft 12 / 2 / Romex SIMpull Solid Indoor CU NM-B Individual pack ( By-the-roll )
Can this be used for a 25,000 btu window unit A/C? If not, what wire and circuit are required?

Hello, and thank you for your question. No — Southwire 12/2 NM‑B (Model #28828269) cannot be used for a 25,000 BTU window A/C unit. A unit that large requires a much larger circuit than 12‑gauge can safely support. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.
