Problem for Ruud 5.0 Tons 12 Seer Split Central System Air Conditioner

My heat unit will not blow hot air unless we go




By lskeen3 on Nov 07, 2009

" "
my heat unit will not blow hot air unless we go outside and hit a button on the back bottom of the unit. Once we do that it will blow hot air for that cycle. when it is time for it to come on it is cold air again and the unit outside is not working.

If it does not have a furnace or heating elements for heating, then it is a heat pump, which is rare for a central AC system, but makes sense of the fact that it blows warm air when you reset the pressure switch, which may indicates freon pressure charge problem if your AC system has a reverse valve and uses freon to for heating (heat Pump).

Do you get heating when outside unit runs? if you do, check freon pressure levels and top up to required pressures. The button you depress is a pressure reset switch ... that is if your AC system is a heat pump ... which, as pointed above, it is not common for central ACs.

it sound as the thermostat not working and you are resetting it manually or you may have a shortage in the system you need to check the wiring first to make sure
