What Happens When a Compressor Fails?
The AC compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant and enabling heat exchange. When it breaks down—due to electrical failure, overheating, wear and tear, or refrigerant problems—your system can’t cool properly. A faulty compressor may make clicking or humming noises, trip breakers, or cause the unit to run continuously without cooling. Our experienced technicians will inspect your system, test components, and determine whether repair or replacement is the best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Compressor Repair and Replacement
What does the AC compressor do?
The compressor is the heart of your air conditioning system—it pressurizes and circulates refrigerant to remove heat from your home. Without it, your AC can’t cool properly.
How can I tell if my AC compressor is failing?
Common signs include warm air blowing from vents, loud or unusual noises, hard starts, or the outdoor unit not turning on. A technician can confirm if the compressor is the issue.
Is it better to repair or replace the AC compressor?
It depends on your system’s age, condition, and warranty. In some cases, replacing the compressor is cost-effective. For older systems, a full AC replacement might be the smarter investment.
