Basic Ptac heat pump function and important details....

[@johnscully1824]

Dude this was a huge help. I’m semi new to the field and this was a great tutorial video

[@mkl5448]

Excellent explanation, thank you for posting.

Great video, broke down PTAC for me perfectly

Them heatpumps for the ACs are a life saver My air conditioner is a 2300btu with a 12000btu heater system But they work very well in the winter, LP heaters you will pay a fortune trying to warm your home but the heatpumps work rather well i think, It does not get that cold where i live tho in the south

back with another question is the solenoid go bad often and can it be replaced

[@PtacSolutions]

It's kind of rare when they go bad, but if they do it's pretty easy to replace. It's just two wires and a 5/16 screw

@@PtacSolutions any symptoms i might notice its going bad?

Great!!!!!

Thank you so much for this information. Here in NYC I'm familiar with Islandaire, McQuay and Amana units as well. Is there a 115V heat pump PTAC model available by any brand? Or are they all 220V because of the electric heat. Thanks!

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello From what I have seen they are all 208-230v.

[@JesusRomero-lp6zt]

Just let me get something straight, so the heat pump mode only works if the temperature is 4 degrees lower than the temperature set on the PTAC right? I guess it is to keep the temperature in the room but if the temperature drops lower than or more than 4 degrees then the heat elements start working so raise the temperature, am I right or did I get it all wrong? 😅😅

[@PtacSolutions]

That's exactly right 💯!!

Question so i replaced the coils on my ptec unit (islandaire) i still get no heat any idea what it might be ?

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello I would check the limit switch first, if they are good I would make sure the control board is sending power to the heater coils... identify the heater wires from the board to the heater coil, and wait for the delay(about 3-5 minute), you should get around 230 volts by checking both lines
