What to do if the Bard CH compressor will not start in heating or cooling?

If the compressor on your Bard Heat Pump isn't starting, begin by checking for LED illumination on the board and any error codes indicated by a flashing LED. Verify that there's 24 volts AC between R and C. Determine if the compressor delay is active (wait 5 minutes or jump the board's 'speed up pins'). Also, check for low or high pressure faults. Ensure there is a 24 volts AC between Y and C, and between CC & C. A lack of power to the board could be due to missing unit voltage, a bad transformer, or incorrect unit wiring. It may also be caused by no "Y" compressor input signal, no "CC" compressor output signal, or a faulty board.
