The process of pumping down a heat pump is quite simple. First you should switch the unit into air conditioning and put your compound gauge on the suction line. Make sure the unit is running. Then valve off the discharge line and watch your gauge pressure. When it pulls itself down into a vacuum the heat pump is pumped down within itself. Make sure to valve off the suction line to make sure no refrigerant is released back into the air handling unit. You should now be able to lay some wet rags on the valves to protect them if you desire to sweat the unit away from the line set.

P-tac unit is not producing heat why not?

If a P-tac (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) unit is not producing heat, it could be due to several reasons. Common issues include a malfunctioning thermostat, a dirty or clogged air filter, or an electrical problem such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Additionally, if the unit is set to cooling mode or the heat pump is not functioning properly, it may not produce heat. Regular maintenance and troubleshooting can help identify and resolve these issues.


Can you replace your straight cool AC condensing unit to a same size unit with heat pump?

Hi, Good question and the answer is ( YES! ) as long <<<< as you are not taking up any fancy ideas of using it as a heat pump. Wire it in and set the reversing valve to stay on cool cycle and never reverse to heat and viola. Some units use energized reversing valve during cool and some de-energized. Its easy to find out. Just try it. Hope this helps: Jimiwane

Can you mix a heat pump condensor unit with a non heat pump indoor unit?

No, it is not advisable to mix a heat pump condenser unit with a non-heat pump indoor unit. The two systems are designed differently and operate at different efficiencies. Mixing the components could result in poor performance and potentially damage to the system. It's best to use matching components for optimal performance.
