Gym HVAC not heating before winter term

Unit runs but only blows cold air. Thermostat schedule already checked. Term starts Monday and the gym is used for PE every period, need this fixed or safely worked around fast.

BEST ANSWER

Sounds like the reversing valve is stuck in cooling mode, common on units left idle over the holidays. Cycle the system to defrost/heat manually from the board, and if it will not switch, the valve solenoid needs replacing before Monday.

Agree with Dave. Also worth checking the outdoor unit is not iced over from last week's frost, a quick visual check before the technician arrives can save a callout fee.

We had the exact same issue in April. Our supplier swapped the valve under warranty, worth checking the install date before paying for parts.
