AC compressor repair: test it before you replace it
The outdoor unit hums, trips the breaker, or runs without making cold air. Somebody said compressor. That's the most expensive word in this trade, so AC compressor repair starts with proving it.
A failed capacitor or a hard-start problem can look exactly like a dead compressor.
We test the circuit, the charge, and the compressor
Then you hear one of three answers: a repair, a compressor changeout, or a full replacement when that's the better value on an old system. You get the numbers for whichever ones apply.
What the visit covers
- Electrical and mechanical testing
