I have a Heil furnace air condition I purchased in 2002. The outside unit is not working with the thermostat reading cool and run. I pushed the reset button and hold at the same time but the outside unit won't come on, only the fan runs.
I have an attic fan. Is it part of the system? Does it need servicing? Does any part of the central air system use batteries?
Thanks,
Karen
Mine is a Heil Performance 10. It was just because the shaft on the fan was gummed up. I took the cover off the outside fan and lifted it up. There is a service plug in the motor housing where the shaft goes into the motor. I put some oil in there and put it back together. Working fine now. This may not be your problem but easy to try. Hope it helps.
The attic fan is not a part of your a/c system, and you should not run it while you are running the a/c. If you are currently using the attic fan, it is possible that someone wired it so that the a/c won't turn on while the attic fan is on. Otherwise if the thermostat is set below room temp, and says it is calling for cool, then the problem is most likely coming from an issue at the outside unit itself. Make sure to check your fuses, at the fuse panel and outside breaker. Hope this helps
FYI.. the only part of the system that might use batteries is the thermostat.
