I just found out that the early Comfort Pro/Proheat PC5000 series units made by Teleflex using R22 Freon have had compressor failures. The failures are due to low freon. The loss of the freon permeates out through the hoses. Because the units hold only a small amount of freon, they can't take much of a loss, and will not cool properly. If left running the compressor will fail.
The above came from a flyer I picked up from TSI Western Star, in North Jackson, Ohio. The flyer put out byTSI states there are upgrades available from TSI, but are not warrantable upgrades.
I didn't copy word for word what the flyer said, but you would think that if the unit is under warranty, as mine is, that the upgrades would be covered. I have been and still am having problems with my comfort Pro. The unit loses freon every few months. It has cost me over $300 every time I have had to have HVAC unit recharged with R22. Nobody can ever find the leak. I just found out today that the leak is so slow that it is not detectable, that is what the service manager told me.
You would think that if Teleflex knows about the problem, which they must, that I should be covered under warranty for the upgrades, and receive a refund for the over $1000 I have spent so far for all the pressure checks and recharging of freon.
All of you out there who have these units and have had problems with the compressors and the HVAC unit holding freon should contact Teleflex, Carrier, or the shop that installed your unit.
