How do you check the oil in your trane heat pump?

There isn't a need to check the oil in the compressor. Oil is suspended in the refrigerant to keep the internal parts of the unit lubricated. If you're seeing oil on the lines or coil of the unit, you may have a leak. Be sure to get it checked before it does serious damage to the unit.


Why would the central ac blow cold air for about 30 minutes then start blowing hot air but the unit isn't frozen and is full of refrigerant?

It could be that the unit is overcharged and the compressor is shutting down on overload. Check to see if the compressor is running when the hot air starts blowing.
