My New A/C Unit isn't working! I regard as it have something to do next to the thermostat? Last September I had a brand current Carrier A/C unit installed....
Last September I had a brand current Carrier A/C unit installed. It is with the sole purpose 6 months old and have been used for approaching a week last year. Today it's hot, so I see it on and it isn't working. The air blows out but it never get cold. I check the outside compressor and it isn't running. I check the thermostat. This is a Honeywell and this is how it is hooked up:
Red -> Rc And R (Jumper)
Yellow -> Y
White -> W
Green ->G
Blue -> C
No breaker is tripping in the house. It keep blowing the inside house fan close to I have it on aficionado all the time. I call the guys who put it in and when he come out the power had gone out surrounded by the whole neighborhood. (unrelated to the A/C) but later he said that the electric company has two lines a 220 strip and a 110 line and that if they lose power surrounded by the 220 line my A/C compressor won't run but I will still own electric in the house because I will hold the 110 line working. I don't really buy it though. HELP! Is the thermostat hooked up correctly?
Answers: If the part worked properly at first the wiring should be OK. Unless the wires be broken or eaten by a rodent.
Look at your outdoor element and see if the thermostat wires are still connected.
Did they replace the thermostat when the system was installed? If so is should be lower than warranty.
I'm assuming you have a gas furnace inside, because a gas furnace runs on 110v. If you are adjectives electric the indoor unit will run on 220v and the blower is working afterwards you have 220v's to the house.
The explanation the contractor give you is some what true with for a while adjustment.
Your outdoor unit does run on 220v (plate will read 208-230) In establish to have 220v you enjoy to combine 2 circuits of 110v. He was correct contained by the fact that if you drop or loose 1 of your 110v circuits you will one and only have 110v vanished and the outdoor unit will not run on 110v.
When houses are built the try to even the electric nouns between both circuits in the breaker box so the haphazard of overloading the transformer in minimal. If everything contained by the house is working properly then you hold power to both circuits.
I'm not sure what area you live within but in Texas the contractor have to stand behind their work for 1 year.
Because your electricity wasn't on when the contractor arrived the first time he wasn't competent to troubleshoot the problem. If you electricity is on and everything in the house is working I would telephone the contractor out and have them look at it again.
is this part also a heat pump? and the two chain story is bs. one line into the breaker box. as for the stat. red is power, white is steam, green is fan, and pale is cool. unhook all wires from stat. touch pale and red and see if outside unit comes on, if so join green and see if blower inside comes on. if so stat may be bad, except call installer final out
