We bought a house with a not-very-old split unit heat pump about 2 years ago. After we lived her a few months, the performance dropped. Called the local HVAC folks and they said it was low on refrigerant. Great but why? Didn't know. So they topped it off and it went back to working. Another few months goes by and same deal. This time they put dye in it I believe. Another few months and same deal again. That come out and say its the compressor coil (I think thats what it was) that is leaking. $800 later and I am back in business.
All summer, the AC has struggled bad to keep up. Running all the time. Here recently, though, a new problem has started. It will be working ok, keeping the house where I set it. I will go to bed and wake up the next morning with the house hotter than hell. The vents are blowing, and the outside unit is running, but no cold air. If I then turn the unit off for about 5 minutes and then turn it back on, it goes right back to cooling fine and starts knocking the temps in the house back down.
Any ideas? Im about at the end of my rope.
