    @Stitchgirl90 and I went to a new (to us) church, and I was in heat pump heaven at the shopping center where the church is located; I do not know if these 1980s York Stellar units are heat pumps (I don't think they are)...

    Yet another York Stellar, and the fan grille being covered leads me to believe that it's a straight-cool unit...

    @ColoradoTJ

    You have a 3.5-ton Goodman, correct? Here is what one looks like all torn apart!

    For a 2008 Goodman heat pump, this is unit is quite efficient even by today's standards; 14 SEER/9 HSPF!

    One of the few good things about older Goodmans (at least 2006-newer ones; 2005 and older had reciprocating compressor from various brands, and are incredibly noisy) is a standard Copeland Scroll compressor...

    The reversing valve is what failed on my scrap unit. One of the problems with Goodman is that unlike pretty much any other brand (even Amana, which is built by the same company), they will sell their equipment to ANYBODY. All of the other major brands will only sell to licensed contractors.

    This unit was installed by the homeowner, who has no former HVAC training. He bought R-22 illegally, and did the whole install himself. The air handler was a different size than the heat pump, and this disparity apparently damaged the reversing valve. This unit was otherwise functional before @Stitchgirl90 and I tore it apart last night, with obvious exception of the reversing valve; I have no idea how long the unit was sitting unused, but the lines had already been cut when I went to pick up...
