One of the most important components of your home’s air conditioning unit is the compressor, so we’ll be devoting two blogs to this topic. In this week’s blog we’ll discuss the function and importance of your compressor and what happens when your compressor malfunctions. In our next blog we’ll talk about the most common causes of compressor failure and how to prevent them.
The compressor is often referred to as the heart of your system; an appropriate analogy for several reasons:
It is also an appropriate comparison because, just as your heart pumps blood through your body, the compressor’s job it to compress the refrigerant gas and pump it through the system in order to remove heat and humidity from the air.
When the compressor breaks down you have two options: fix the compressor or buy a new outside AC unit. To make the best decision, there are a few things to consider:
The inside and outside units are a “matched system,” meaning they were made for each other. Mismatched systems carry problems of their own, including premature failure and lowered efficiency. If your AC system is old, has needed frequent repairs, or you’ve noticed an increase in your energy bills, it may be wise to invest in a whole new system.
