We also went from the Newell 12-volt board to the 24-volt system, many thanks to Jeff LoGiudice for diagrams and answering all my dumb questions! It is still a work in progress and a long way to go but we did get unit 1 working last week with one compressor. I’m trying my hand at wiring unit 2 - will see how that comes out.
I plan to make a video if anyone if interested in 1) removing the unit 2) pulling the unit apart and cleaning 3) rewiring 12 to 24 volt relays/contactors 4) reinstalling; although at the rate I move it may be a while unless there is a ton of interest in the videos…
I will be using Ecobee Thermostats to control the heating and cooling. I’m learning WAY more than I wanted to ever know about A/C units but it is fun as long as I get to work in my cool garage (mini-split) and not the storage building…
The next step is to get compressor 2 working on unit 1…
Adrian, excellent work! Just make sure the Ecobee thermostats are able to handle the 2 stage cooling.
