Managing sub humans makes me want to take a pay cut and go back in the field
WHITE MAN'S BURDEN
Thanks man. Long story short, I'm off grid solar, I installed a 3 zone mini split system and I was trying to be slick and put a couple heads on the interior walls when I built my barndo but the drain lines to the sink traps didn't work out and I had a leak at a flare fitting somewhere so I had to move them to exterior walls. At that time I was overwhelmed with work so I paid the HVAC guy to run the exterior lines (brazed instead of flares this time). They worked great over the summer to cool but as soon as I switched to heat mode they go into defrost mode for 2 minutes exactly every 30 min even with no ice build up on the coil. So I'm thinking they didn't calculate the extra lineset length and it is only showing symptoms in heat mode. The owner is supposed to be coming out today to vacuum and recharge it again and hopefully get it done for good. It's becoming an issue because it runs full power during the defrost and when catching back up, combined with my finite electricity storage, and particularly since we got about 2 feet of snow in the last 24 hrs and the panels aren't generating anything. If that doesn't work I think it's gonna be the condenser return sensor, what are your thoughts?
