Re: Comfort Pro APU BLUES!!!

The a/c not cooling well is most likely caused to low freon. The 5000 series a/c hoses leak the R22 freon without it showing up in a pressure check or dye test. There is an upgrade for the hoses available, Carrier knows about the problem, if you go through your dealer he can get you the upgrade, my dealer did this for me. Even without the upgrade my Comfort Pro will cool my sleeper down to 68 degrees in above 100 ambient temprature. My dealer says you should change the belts every 800 hours. The a/c compressor going out was most likely caused to low freon, with low freon the compressor will burn itself out, unless you have a cut off switch installed which is also an upgrade. My dealer, TSI Western Star talked to carrier and they agreed to upgrade my unit under warranty as soon as I can get over to TSI to have them do it. There is also an extended warranty available for the Comfort Pro. I have had a few minor problems with my Comfort Pro, but over all I am happy with it.
