Messy - why not just hook up a regular fan and hook it up to the power line that ordinarily powers the condenser fan.and have it do the blowing until the repair person comes out on Friday. The ideal fan is one of those old floor fans that used to blow air in a 360 direction.
The water is from humidity in the outdoor air which has condensed and then frozen to your heat pump outdoor coil. The heat pump will defrost occassionally, depending on how much frost has accumulated to the coil and will then generally drip off the unit and onto the ground. This is normal. To keep the water off the drive way may mean having to move the heat pump to a place where the condensation can run away from the drive area. Or provide some other means of redirecting the water.
Tell him you already had it done. lol. Unless you misunderstood what he told you no! You don't need to replace the Refrigerant weather it's Puron or Freon. It doesn't wear out. Ever. If your system develops a leak and you loose the Refrigerant it will have to be replaced but you will know you lost it because the system won't cool and heat like it's supposed to. I would report the installer to the better business bureau.
the system must be leak checked, refrigerant recovered, evacuated, a drier installed, and recharged to the correct subcooling, (I assume this is a carrier since you reference "puron")
the low side pressure seems to be in line the high side pressure would be low depending on operating conditons, these systems must be charged using superheat and subcooling methods, pressures are just a "starting point"
No power to outside unit. Check to see if contactor on outside unit is pulled in. Most AC units inside have float switch. When the drain stops up it shuts off outside unit. Located in overflow or underneath unit. No Problem Rusty
Its the problem with the fan. !1 or more coils have burnt out and if repaired will have to rewind the shorted coil/armature. Better to replace the fan. Also when getting it repaired ask them to check the thermostat too...............sodeep
My Carrier unit did the same thing. It was low on refrigerant (Puron in my unit). I am worried I have a leak somewhere. Hopefully, it is not in the coil. The service call wasn't cheap either. Puron runs around $10-15 a pound and mine took several pounds to replenish.
If the capacitor is bad replacing it is just a mater of moving the wires from the old one to the new one and mount the new capacitor securely in place. In replacing a capacitor it is recommended to replace it with the same rating as the one removed.
If the capacitor is bad it will not prevent the compressor from getting power. Is the compressor trying to start at all. If the compressor is running and you have no cooling the system could have lost the charge of refrigerant.
