Are you sure it is the AC that comes on, and not the heat pump (which sounds the same-the roar from the roof). Recently, I discovered for not sure how long, that my furnace wasn't working. If I wanted heat, I just set the thermostat on Auto and increased the heat setting. Within seconds, the 'roar' from above. I just assumed all was well, and that was it.
Long story but the heat pump was the default the thermostat Auto selected because the furnace was not working. When I tried the Furnace setting (not Auto), I could hear the propane fire up for a few seconds, then shut off. I tried a few times and nothing. It turned out that the circuit board was bad and a dealer replaced. Some times the sail switch can be at fault.
Just thought I would throw this in as another possibility. Good luck.
