Temperature will not damage unit. If a/c is needed during periods of low ambient temperatures controls should be added. The added controls will simulate normal temperatures by cycling or modulating the condenser fan motor to maintain proper condensing pressure/ temperature, etc. These are common on equipment, server and cellular site equipment where the a/c load exists even when it is -40 outside. lc
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
Yes it`s ok. For a window unit outside temp does not matter. Thermostat operates according to the indoor heat load.
The outside unit may not be running when the heat is on due to a malfunction in the system, such as a faulty thermostat, a tripped circuit breaker, or a problem with the compressor. It is important to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and repair the unit to ensure proper functioning.
Open Circuit. Replace the sensor unit.
learn to read the chart for the type of freon you are running - a standard home unit will suck at 67 lbs and the high side will vary according to the outside ambient air temp - I get different readings in Las Vegas than I do in Portland!
The heat pump outside unit may not be running due to issues such as a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is important to troubleshoot and address these potential problems to restore the unit's functionality.
the compressor is not running. Check your breakers.
If you are running unit hard to cool building, then the probable cause is it is working too hard. A residential unit is designed to maintain a set temp. if there is too much difference between inside temp and temp desired the unit will work too hard to " catch up ". solution, turn off ac unit, remove ice build up ( you can use a garden hose ) then set thermostat to 3-4 degrees below indoor temp. Once it has lowered temp, keep going in 3-4 degree increments until temp desired is reached.
If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.
The problem is probably outside. Can`t tell you much more than that from here. The condenser unit outside was not running. I checked the circuit breaker box and found the 220 breaker had been switched off. Turned it back on and now it's running and I'm getting cool air.
the STARTER or capactor may be bad, i,d call a repair man
You mean the outside unit is running and blowing but the inside unit is not blowing? Shut it off! Who ain't blowing? Elaborate please..
