Hello all,
I have a brand new home in central Florida with a builder installed Tempstar heat pump. The fan is with the compressor in the outside unit and the air handler is inside the house. The model # is N4H342AKA200. The problem is when I turn the air on after the unit runs for 5 or so minutes the outside fan starts to kick on and off every couple of seconds. I checked the high condensate float switch and everything seems to be fine, no condensate even in the top drain hole. When it was cool a week or so ago I had the tech out and of course I could not get the system to repeat the problem. Now that it is warm again the problem has started back. Does anyone have any Idea what is going on. I am calling the tech back out but for my knowledge I would like some possible problems. I'm not the kind of guy who is going to tell the tech how to do his job, but maybe if I have an Idea I could mention "a possible problem" to him in passing conversation.

Thanks for any help.

High Head, system was over charged with freon when installed (cold day). Everything is working fine now. Thanks for all the help!
