AC Compressor Repair & Replacementin Miami
Compressor diagnosis, hard-start kits and replacement, with a straight answer on whether it is worth it.
About this service
The compressor is the most expensive part of an air conditioner. Many compressors reported as dead are in fact fine: the real fault is a failed capacitor, a burnt contactor or a bad wire. We test the windings and the electrical supply before condemning any compressor.
When the compressor really has failed, we check the warranty first. Many are covered for ten years on parts, which changes the calculation considerably.

AC Compressor Repair & Replacement: common questions
Is it worth replacing a compressor?
On a system under ten years old with a parts warranty, usually yes. On an older system, the labour, refrigerant and remaining wear on the other components generally make full replacement the better value.
