My 5 ton split system compressor stopped working apparantly due to overheating.(fan unit running but compressor stopped) Cooled compressor down and restarted. compressor runs but indicates same pressure on both high and low side (150psi? friend with gage) Unit is over 15 years old so looking at replacement of just condensing unit but also wondering about inside unit, coil etc. Freon level is fine. Seems to me that pressure differential is controlled by coil unit in house :huh:
Can new condensing unit be installed to old blower unit since amount of changes to systems over last 15 years? what are options there?
Don't want to throw good money at an old system but also line of thinking is that new condensing system now would work with new fan unit installed at later date. If money were no object would replace entire unit or remodel whole house, or...but money tree has been looking scraggly lately.
Also unit is 3 phase, does this help with energy efficiency? (older neigborhood with 3 phase power)
thanks for any help.
