Is your Heil central air conditioner not cooling properly? Check the main control board first when the condensing unit contactor is not receiving 24 volts or the furnace blower motor is not getting power. Next, inspect for an airflow problem: a clogged air filter, blocked registers, or dirty blower wheel can restrict air, cause the evaporator coil to freeze, and leave your central air not cooling or blowing warm air. A faulty contactor can prevent the condensing unit from receiving power, while a failed dual run capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, overheated, or unable to run. If airflow is good, the evaporator and condenser coils are clean, and the fan, compressor, and blower operate but the air conditioner is still not cold, suspect a sealed-system leak or restriction. A relay board can also stop the blower motor from receiving power. Turn off power before inspecting accessible parts, and leave 240V testing or replacement to a qualified technician. Refrigerant and any sealed-system repair require an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Heil central air conditioner.
01 - Heil Central Air Conditioner Main Control Board
If the central air condensing unit contactor is not receiving 24 volts or power is not getting to the furnace blower motor, a possible cause is a defective furnace main control board. While this is not a common problem, if all other potentially faulty components are working properly, the main control board should be replaced.

Proper air flow is critical for the central air conditioner to work properly. The evaporator needs proper air flow to keep the condensing water from freezing. If the air filter or blower wheel gets clogged, ice can start forming on the evaporator coils, eventually freezing them up and preventing proper air flow. It is recommended to replace the air filter at least every 6 months or sooner depending on the conditions. Refer to owner's manual for guidance. Avoid covering registers with furniture, rugs, or other items that will restrict the air flow.

03 - Heil Central Air Conditioner Contactor
The furnace control board sends a low voltage signal to the contactor. When the contactor receives the signal from the control board, it closes the circuit, sending voltage to the condensing unit components. If the contactor is defective, it will not provide voltage to the condensing unit. To determine if the contactor is at fault, use a multimeter to test the contactor for continuity. If the contactor does not have continuity, replace it.
04 - Heil Central Air Conditioner Dual Run Capacitor
If the dual run capacitor is defective, the fan motor might be noisy, overheat, or not run at all. To determine if the dual run capacitor has failed, inspect the capacitor. If the dual run capacitor is bulging or leaking, replace it.
If the unit has good air flow, the evaporator and condensing unit coils are clean, the fan and compressor are running, and the furnace blower is on, but there is still not enough cooling, it is likely there is a leak or restriction in the sealed system. Since diagnosing and repairing a sealed system takes specialized tools and knowledge, a qualified service technician should diagnosis and repair the unit.
Highly Likely
06 - Heil Central Air Conditioner Relay Board
A relay board is often used to control components of an a central air condidtioner. If the blower motor is not receiving power, the relay board is likely the cause. A defective relay board will need to be replaced.
