If there's a brownout or blackout while the compressor is running, the unit almost inevitably goes into a 4 hour lockout to protect the compressor from overheating. OK, I can kinda understand that. Happened today, I was outside spraying for weeds and heard my neighbor's pool pump falter for a moment. Didn't think anything of it and stayed out for another hour or so. I come in the house, and the circulator fan is running, blasting hot air. (my house is a single story with the ducts in the attic, so they become very hot in summer w/o the AC functioning) WHY doesn't it just shut the circulator off if it knows the compressor isn't working? What is the point of leaving it running for 4 hours? If you wanted it on, you can always manually turn it on. I'd call the company that installed it but I've decided they suck (installers made a mess compared to other home contractors I've had) and besides there's probably no way to alter this feature.
