How to instal compressor for ac?
 
My house is wired and plumbed for central air and actually had a unit
running at one point. Previous owners simply removed only the
outside compressor. I bought a used one in hopes of getting it to
work with existing fittings and power. So after i solder the copper
pipes (*2) and give the condensor 220 power what do i do with the
small red/black wires coming from my Lennox HS29 18 unit? Is this
for the temperature control unit? If so i have an old one do i need
to replace with digital? Do i need these wires at all or will it
turn on when needed. Basically any helpfull hints would be much
appreciated How do i turn it on?

You purged with an inert gas before soldering didn't you? You have to
evacuate and charge the unit. You need a license to buy and use the
refrigerant. I think you are in over your head already.

Oughta be matching red and black wires some where. That's the best I
can do without being there to see it.

Oh, since it's an AIR conditioner, you have to get an air compressor,
and inflate the system to 120 PSI before it will run. That's why it's
got bicycle type fittings. I know it says it's rated for 150, but you
never totally inflate them.

However, since I'm a HVAC professional, and you're a home owner I
might not be totally honest with you.

Well, depending what metal joining compound he used, mighta not needed
inert gas. I know I've not used inert gas for the stuff I use.

Yep, this fell is either trolling, or sincere but doesn't quite know
what he's up against.
