Will a 3 ton compressor only (says copeland scroll on it);
1. Work in my 5 ton unit
2. Will it be efficient
Any advice on installing it myself? What to watch out for, etc. I'm sure the pipe sizes will not match up but I figure that is the easy part. Will the electrical system in the 5 ton work with the 3 ton?
I would like to do it as an experiment (and if it works, keep it). My 5 ton unit is way oversized for my home. It runs for very sort periods when it comes on.
Other facts;
Both are single phase
Both use "22" refrigerant

1. Yes ( it should run) ,but problem is it probably will run 24/7,without getting the job done
2. no
Seems like a waist of time,but its your time and your money
Are you EPA certified to handle r-22
