Let’s replace a heat pump!
This heat pump was “turning on” OK but after about 5 min, the compressor would kick on and then the unit would trip the circuit breaker. We tried a few less expensive solutions - replace the fan/compressor capacitor, replace the fan motor itself, but eventually we discovered it was compressor voltage backfeeding through the fan motor coil. It was curtains for the old girl.
So, in with the new! We installed the new heat pump the very next day! The customer was so happy - we performed some additional work… stay tuned!
