Project Overview
On Gregory Ct in Farmingville, NY, Varsity Home Services replaced a failing Rheem heat pump after the outdoor condenser repeatedly froze and the system tested low on refrigerant. The two-ton 15 SEER condenser and new air handler restored reliable heating, improved seasonal energy efficiency, eliminated ice buildup, and delivered dependable performance for the homeowner.
Results
Replacing the iced-over condenser solved the freeze-up and low refrigerant problems, restoring full heat-pump operation and dependable defrost cycles. The new Rheem 2-ton 15 SEER condenser and matching air handler offer improved efficiency and faster recovery during extreme temperatures, while the added 5 kW electric heat strip provides reliable backup heat. Rigorous pressure testing and vacuuming confirmed a leak-free installation and the system is operating properly, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in reliability.
