Chiller and a/c routine maintenece

[Chillville]

The noise my unit makes isn't from the compressor, its a noise that travels down the copper line. All high efficiency goodmans come with a compressor blanket, the outdoor unit is quite. Its only on startup for about 2 seconds.

Possibly try a start cap if It don't have one already![/QUOTE]

Ya tried that too, put a hard start on it first. I was almost sure that was the problem.

Goodman was junk until about 5 yrs ago. They have done much better since then. All brands have some problems (sometimes it is price). Heat pumps have much more problems and shorter life than a/c only units.

John,is that true of mini splits heat pumps also?

Heat pumps have some more moving parts so more stuff to go wrong also the compressor is used twice as much.used winter also instead of just summer so don't last as long in theory seen some old heatpumps so I wouldn't be discouraged most tower office buildings use em!
