One of the most common problems to arise on a compressor is burned terminals, where a faulty electrical connection prevents the compressor from functioning correctly.
This often is the reason why many compressors are replaced when they don’t have to be.
Burnt or “open” terminals can be fixed and compressors can return to proper function, saving both time and money. The nice thing is that your compressor may be able to be saved with a properly installed terminal repair kit!
It is important to note, in many cases this is not a permanent solution — but it just might keep you cool while you arrange for the proper install and purchase of your new high efficient system.
It is important to have your air conditioner looked at by a trusted professional before an urgent service repair is needed.
Many units that are old and have not been maintained – once a new compressor is installed, another part becomes overworked. In this case it is more cost effective to purchase a new unit, before wasting time and money on each individual part/labor.
