A Cary homeowner reached out with heating and cooling concerns for the mini split serving their basement.
Mario observed the unit going out on an H0 fault code for Compressor Fault. He had started the diagnostic by making a call for cool and heat at the thermostat and checking operations, then called Daikin tech support, which confirmed that both the boards and the compressor were bad. Mario left the unit off and went over all options and recommendations with the homeowner, who will be reviewing the estimates.
