Problem with compressor on Goodman SSZ14 Heat Pump
In April, I had two 3.5 ton Goodman SSZ14 heat pumps installed. From the begenning, periodically the compressor fails to start and the inside circulator only blows room temperature air. The installer and the supplier have been here several times and have done the following: added a hard start to each compressor, replaced a capacitor on each compressor, checked and maybe re-connected the thermostats. The second floor unit seems to be working OK now but the ground floor unit compressor has failed to start twice in the past week.
When the problem occurs, the inside circulator will come on and begin blowing air but the compressor never kicks in. If I switch the unit off at the thermostat and turn it back on an hour later, everything works correctly. The system may work correctly for a week before the problem happens again. I would appreciate any tips you can offer for my next visit to the installer.

Yes, everything was installed new. The inside circulating unit was matched to the compressor, new line sets installed, pressure checked at compressor several times. Problem has been there since day one.2nd floor unit has worked correctly for a month.
