After talking to homeowner installing contractor was out to perform a leak search and said they had fixed the problem. Homeowner is going to go back to the installing contractor to first see if they can get the problem resolved. There is a very good possibility that the refrigerant leaks is at some of the connections. Coil is completely frozen at this time.

The sensor has failed and needs to be replaced. New sensor can be installed underneath the deck. Not having the sensor does not affect the system performance. Customer also asked about the Gateway so he has internet connection. Before we go back to install the sensor we can send him a price for the Internet Gateway.
