AC Compressor Replacement: What You Need To Know

The AC compressor in your home is one of the most important parts of your AC unit. It’s responsible for compressing the refrigerant, which then circulates through the system and cools your home. If your AC compressor fails, your AC unit will not be able to cool your home.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss what an AC compressor is, why it might fail, and how much it costs to replace. We’ll also provide some tips for finding a qualified AC technician to perform the replacement

The summer heat in Daytona is no joke. When your air conditioner stops working, it can be a major inconvenience. But don’t panic! There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the problem and get your AC up and running again.

Here are some of the most common reasons why your AC might not be working:

A tripped breaker or blown fuse. Check your electrical panel to make sure that the breaker or fuse for your AC unit is not tripped or blown. If it is, simply reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
A clogged air filter. A clogged air filter can restrict airflow and prevent your AC unit from cooling properly. Check your air filter and replace it if it is dirty or clogged.
A low refrigerant charge. Over time, the refrigerant in your AC unit can leak out. This will cause your AC unit to not cool as effectively. If you suspect that your refrigerant level is low, you will need to call a qualified HVAC technician to recharge your unit.
A malfunctioning thermostat. If your thermostat is not working properly, it can prevent your AC unit from turning on or off when it is supposed to. Check your thermostat to make sure that it is set correctly and that it is not malfunctioning.

If you have checked all of these things and your AC unit is still not working, you may need to call a qualified HVAC technician to diagnose the problem.

Here are some tips for preventing AC problems in the future:

Have your AC unit serviced regularly. A regular service will help to identify and correct any potential problems before they become major issues.
Change your air filter every month. A clean air filter will help to keep your AC unit running efficiently.
Keep the condenser unit clear of debris. Debris can block airflow and prevent your AC unit from cooling properly.
Inspect your AC unit for leaks. If you see any signs of a leak, such as water on the ground or around the unit, have it repaired as soon as possible.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your AC unit running smoothly and prevent costly repairs.

Carlos provided excellent service for my marine air conditioning system today. He would be a desired employee and excellent representative for any business. The service was super efficient, knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

If I could, I'd give 10 stars! This has to be the biggest, and best surprise I've had in many, many years. It took only about 24 hours from the time I called and to the time the technician arrived and fixed my problem. In addition, David elected to "save me money!" What company does that these days? I'll recommend Coverall to everyone! Thank you guys!

When I first called, David called back right away and was so helpful. Set up an appt for the next day. The techs Jose & Jorge were great. They diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. What a relief in this heat! They saved us over $200 from the original estimate when after they started working they realized that one of the valves was not broken after all. So honest!

Jay from coverall heating & air conditioning was very helpful with our ac unit not running. They got it back up and running in no time and recommended changing it out being 23 years old and the cost to fix an R-22 unit wasn’t worth it they explained to me. Price was very good and the quality was great will definitely be using them again for all my AC needs!

I live in Florida and my ac was not working at all. It needed to be replaced. I called 5 companies and no one could come out for atleast a week! David who answered my desperate phone call was very knowledgeable. He took his time to listen to me, explain things to me and act accordingly and swiftly. The crew came out within a day. The crew to include Carlos were on time, professional and did a great job!! David even followed up to make sure my ac was working properly. I am very happy with this company!
