Unable to reach/maintain heating or especially A.C.

The Ruud furnace is probably compatible. Power stealing is a way to recharge the thermostat battery from the 24vac control voltage used to operate the furnace. If you install the Thermostat in the "separate power supply mode" it does not need to power steal ever and will be much more reliable. Some thermostats don't get enough power in the power steal mode to keep the battery reliably recharged, especially during the cold winter months because the poiwer available to "power steal" is highest when the furnace is NOT running. You will need a separate 24 vac transformer and some wire.

Some newer high efficiency units using variable speed DC motors are designed to maintain a temp and wonrt shut off by design. Does it maintain a temp you desire ? It may be normal hard teling without seeing it.

First off I am not in this for the money. If your not satisfied with the information below simply reject the solution so that you can hear from other experts.

The 888 flashing is telling you that the inverter has lost DC power momentarily. This can be from broken strands in the battery cables or an internal wiring problem in the inverter. Check the battery cables for corrosion. Remove the terminals check for battery post corrosion and visually inspect each bable to terminal connection from the battery connector to the inverter DC Power connections.
Here is something to keep in mind. A DC power cable only needs one tiny strand of wire to indicate voltage on a meter. However, if there is any load on the AC side that tiny strand of wire that is giving you the proper DC reading may in fact drop well below 10.5 V DC and simply cause the unit to automatically shut off even with no load.

Good day,
It could be, as you said, the compressor going bad or it's possible the start relay clipped to the compressor body is failing.
If it repeats the problem, you could unclip the relay from the compressor and replace it with a new one.
However, since you still have 2 years factory warranty on the compressor I would suggest you call GE or a GE factory authorized service company. If it's the relay, you will be charged for the repair, but by doing that you will maintain the integrity of the compressor warranty, especially if the repair turns out to be short lived and it turns out the compressor needs to be replaced.

Hi, what seems to be going on here is several things need to be checked. When a heater starts to slow down lets say, I would make sure 1st of all that you have a clean return air filter in the system. 2nd, make sure that the indoor blower motor is clean and running up to speed. Ruud and Rheem units collect dust very fast and the filter must be maintained. If this is all ok, depending on the age of you're unit, and if it is natural gas or propane, you're heat exchanger may be cracked or plugged with soot. I woul'd say that you need to call out your local gas company as they will come out free of charge if you tell them you think you smell gas and your heater is acting up. What they will do is come and make sure you have no leak and inspect it heating section. I would say you are in need of service. Burners may be plugged also. I would call out the gas company and they will tell you if you need a sevice call or hopefully they will find and make a repair rather then you calling out a Tech. Im not saying you have a gas leak but this will get them rolling on it and a place to start. If you are inclined to make these checks on you're own, look in the burner section when the unitis on and see if all burners are on with a nice blue row of flames. Look it over and see if the blower motor is clean. This is all very important. Please get back to me and keep me posted. Best of luck,

If you take all the numbers off the compressor and condesning unit and call an authorized RUUD parts dealer in your area, they should be able to verify your inquiry.

Unless there was a special circumstance, most compressor warranties are 5 years, unless the compressor was replaced during the 5 year period, in which case you should get 5 more years assuming the service was performed by an authorized service company.

go to rudds website and there should be a place where you can find a factory authorized dealer in your area.

Sounds like a bad install and the wiring might be crossed. But as they stated, without schematics, it's hard to know which wire is which. Acura should cooperated if the Honda dealer is authorized. Mention "small claims court" and see how fast they cooperate. BTW, the MDX and Pilot share alot of the schematics. i don't know why Honda can't play with it. I believe they don't want the liability.

yes I would switch it over due to the fact that the balance point reached. Since I'm not there to look at the system monitor the actual temperature inside and if you cannot maintain the setpoint on the thermostat you may have to bring it back on. I've seen recently that there was not enough backup heat to keep the house warm enough during cold spells. Stay warm.
