For some reason our heat pump does not turn itself off on it's own,I have to set it on off for it to stop running outside,it does stop blowing air on the inside after the set temp. is reached though,it still cools and heats. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Sounds like the thermostat is not talking to the outside unit, might want to replace the thermostat first, if not that, then call HVAC peeps.
Yes, it is very easy to replace one. This helped me. The new one you buy will likely have the instructions too. http://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-replace-your-thermostat
I've been researching the problem online and going by that it could also be the contactor or relay that needs replacing ... Wonder how much that is going to cost :? I saw that it's about $9.00 online but I don't know if DH can manage to replace it himself.

Looks like we got lucky,at least for the moment. DH turned the breaker off for the AC for a couple of minutes last night and then turned it back on again,so far the outside unit is once again shutting itself off, it will most likely wait until the weather is in the upper 90's or close to a hundred before breaking down completely!
There is a web site you can go to and they do the searching for you. We used them for our ac. Guy came out did a great job didn't bs us and the price was alot lower than we thought.
