Have you tried contacting the folks that installed your unit?
Yeah.. they aren't aware of anything like that.
If your unit not compatible with mobile phone, guess you could always get a thermometer that alarms if temp too low or high
Ouch. Clear why you want one now. If you are on good terms with renters you could have them check daily and just let you know. That is not a strain on anyone.
hey, I cannot even get my wife to turn lights off when she leaves the room. good luck with getting renters to do anything. Maybe charge them for 1/2 the electric bill in their contract. They get a surprise $250 bill maybe they will pay attention.
Sounds like you did a bad job training your wife.
unfortunately, we do not train wifes- wifes trains us......
My wife is just the opposite,damn house is dark as the inside of a cow if I don,t follow her and turn on a light or two!
I was in the HVAC service business for 5 years or so but a long time ago so I,m not familiar with the newest controls and internal workings. Seems like a competent guy could rig up a simple circuit to a light or buzzer that would alert the tenant,who could call you. Got to be some software that could send an alert to your computer by Email or something of the sort. I don,t have a smart phone either.Wal Mart flip special!
Seems to be a high pressure issue. Both are fairly new units, and get serviced on a service contract twice a year. One got hung up in the defrost mode and the other just quit working. Filters are clean, pressures are good, ..I'm beginning to think there is something screwy with the mother boards.
You know I might try that approach. Whenever she gets through splitting the fire wood, shoveling snow off driveway, and fixing my lunch, I will ask if she would like that. I know what she will say though. "Whatever you think dear."
I am starting to think there is something screwy with the service folks. Just saying.
When I got out of the business,they didn,t even have boards.Relays and contactors.
There,s a bunch of things could cause that,some are unique to a specific brand so I don,t have any help for you.I still think a reasonably good electrician or tech could rig a circuit using a light or buzzer tied to a relay that would light or sound off in the house if the outside unit quit,regardless of the reason. The tenant would still have to let you know.
That is quite brilliant and cheap idea. That should not cost much either.
