Alright guys I got a couple garden related issues I could use some asistance on.
So I fired up all my light's and let them run for a couple days.
And on the 3rd night the outside temps dropped below 60 degrees and the outside unit freezed up. It is a brand new 2.5 ton split. But in the manual it says the outside unit should not be run in under 60 degrees. So I know there is some thing I can have the HVAC guy do to make it ok to run in cold temps. But those guys are really freaken expensive. I had them just run the copper lines vacuum them and it took 2 hrs but cost me 500$. So If they are bringing the parts and doing an upgrade I am assuming it is not going to be cheap. It is probably what I will end up doing. Figured some input is always best.
The next ? is how are you guys controlling the split AC day night\ temp none of the control boxes I have found work on 40 amp.

It sounds to me that you need a cold weather package installed bro. This is why i highly reccomend friedrich model mini splits. They run to 0 degrees (us) minus 18 degrees (canada). This whole winter they never shut off once and last year i had 4 days in a row it was -25. My emergency exhaust and intake kik on and run the room when the a/c fails and if it still gets to hot i havea high temp shutoff that will kill half the lights.
I am not sure the name of the "cold weather package" but what it does is slows down the outside fan or stops it once and a while when necessary.
Hope this helps
