Repair guy came out. Can't fix. Need a new compressor or ..an whole new heat pump.
2.5 ton unit. 22 years old. Users R22. Can replace compressor for around 1500.
New unit would require change to R410A refrigerant. and cost in neighborhood of $4500.
R22 end of life was Jan 1, 2020 so that stuff will be more expensive as time goes on. I guess they are mainly using recaptured R22. No more can be brought into USA so .... replacing compressor does not really seem like an option. Oh boy. Happy Fathers day to me.
