I have a 24VNA6 compressor on my Carrier Infinity system with an Infinity gas furnace. I want to turn off the breaker for the compressor for the winter to save the 45 watts from the crankcase heater. I don't mind waiting 24 hours before using A/C in the spring when I restore power to the compressor.
How should I handle this in the thermostat? It is understandably throwing a OUTDOOR UNIT COMMUNICATION FAULT (Code: 179) error with the compressor powered off. Should I just re-run setup and indicate that the system does not have an outdoor unit installed? Or should I just leave it with the 179 error all winter, until I turn the unit back on in the spring?
If I do run setup to remove the compressor from the system, are there any issues or concerns that I need to know about when re-adding it back? I'll capture the current state of the system with photos of various menus to ensure that everything gets put back the way it was.
Are there any other risks to doing this that I'm not seeing?
