H2RA is a York A/C. It is not a heat pump.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a bad fan motor bearing in the outside condenser. Not sure what the actual repair cost was as I paid a $50 deductable and home owners insurance covered the rest. You might try spinning the fan blade manually using a thin stick between the grates !!!MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF FIRST!!!. If it spins freely, this is probably not the problem.

How old is it,what type of climate do you live in and did any lawn waste get sucked into the unit. What kind of noise is it making?

I didn't read anything about whether the compressor is running, so is it?
It could be just a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

The outside unit wouldn't get hot when he turns on the A/C, if the compressor wasn't running.
