14 year old electric heat pump system.
It has a slow leak that takes about 2 years to get low enough to freeze up. We just had it topped off a month ago, has been working fantastic.
About an hour ago I noticed our thermostat was reading 78, while being set on 71. I reached up and felt warm ish air. I turned the unit off, went up to the attic and checked and nothing was frozen up this time. I turned the unit back on and now it’s blowing ice cold, already back down to 74 and cooling,
I am lost, anyone have any idea what could be going on now?
I replaced the condenser fan thanks to a fellow OSAer, and also replaced the capacitor within the last 2 years. I plan on a new unit soon, but just curious what may cause it to not blow cold, then start again.
