Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth replacing a compressor?

It depends. If your unit is under warranty (usually < 10 years), yes. If it's over 12 years old and out of warranty, the cost often justifies a new system. We'll walk you through the math.

What causes compressor failure?

The most common killers are dirty coils (overheating), power surges, and refrigerant leaks (low oil return).

How long does a compressor replacement take?

It's a major repair, typically taking 4-6 hours. It involves recovering refrigerant, brazing, and vacuuming the system.
