So my radiant heat barrier arrived & was (mostly) installed yesterday!

14. Your ac system might jusg need a capacitor.

Do you knos what's wrong with it?

Feel free to pm me about this. Unit must be a good fit for your climate and correctly sized.

Minisplits are inverter systems, meaning they run constantly at variable speeds.

And while a unit might work at a certain temp, below zero for instance, it's efficiency will suffer if that range is not the temp rangd it's optimized for.

Eg. My minisplit is good down to -15, but when it gets cold (around zero), it goes into defrost mode. (It's a heat pump.)

Also, EPA is getting ready to phase out 410-A, the current refrigerant used in most systems. It is a horrid, blended chemical whose patent is running out soon. Runs at supef high temps & must be fully evacuated & new stuff put in, weighed in on a super delicate scale. Pita!

If you are fortunate enough to live in Canada, they allow propane to be used. Super cheap & effective!

I hope ghis helps.
