In North America a two pole breaker usually represents a load that requires a 240 volt source. Larger current load appliances use 240 volts to reduce the feeder size and there by reduces the cost factor when wiring a building. Two pole 15 amp breakers are used for kitchen counter split receptacles.
Two pole 20 amp breakers can be used for baseboard heating and hot water tanks.
Two pole 30 amp breakers can be used for clothes dryers and some heating units.
Two pole 40 amp breakers can be used for electric ranges.
Two pole 50 amp breakers are not common in home wiring circuits. It might be used for an electric furnace or some other high current device.

Why Shut off air conditioner circuit breaker in the winter?
It is a power safety move. When you are heating your home in the winter time and maybe the heat gets turned up on a very cold day, the temperature could go higher that where the set-point for cooling is set on the air conditioner. The two devices would be in conflict with each other. The heating system trying to warm the house and the A/C trying to cool the house both at the same time. With the breaker turned off to the A/C this will not happen and the house will heat up to where you set the heating thermostat. Most large commercial and industrial businesses have interlocks between the two systems so that only one system can work at a time.
Where the circuit breakers are located?
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside.

The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.
