Give it a try.
Let us know what you find.
Delete the word "Probably" in the above post. For sure a lot less, Give the following test.
hook up your clamp on ammeter to the wire going up to the roof (At the circuit breaker is the easiest hookup)
Turn on in FAN ONLY mode.. measure amps (like 1-2?
Not switch to cool. it will spike then drop down. If no Refrigerant you will likely see 5 amps or less (about double the fan or less)
That ... Is the state of one of mine just now
NOTE: When the first of my two 13.5's failed, I replaced it with a 15K.. Amp draw is... IDENTICAL to the older 13.5.
Given the fact that the last several years have all set the "Hottest year on record" redcord. .I'd recommend the upgrade.
