Dont know how new this all is On some new tstat they do turn on the blower on now and then to just move the air around in the home. Then some of the blower relays have a time off is all not time on. When its on is the outside unit on?? can you be going in to defrost??? You have a lot of ifs ifs here to look at.You say EAC filter there down the line you might want to go to a good pleated filter and take that out. Yes they do work good for a day are two after you wash them then they are no good. To make the EAC work good you have to wash it every 4 or 5 days.
