AC compressor repair in San Diego: what we fix

Compressor problems fall into three groups: electrical (capacitor, contactor, wiring, hard-start kit), mechanical (seized or worn scroll, internal overload) and refrigerant-related (acid or overheating from a low charge). Our technicians test winding resistance, amperage and pressures to confirm the real cause. When the compressor itself has failed we quote replacement under warranty where available, and compare it against a new high-efficiency condenser so you can choose with full information.

Called three companies for a no-cool emergency in San Diego. These were the only ones who gave a real arrival time and actually kept it.

Angela D., San Diego
★★★★★

Called at 10 pm on a Saturday with no heat and someone actually answered. The furnace was running again before midnight. Cannot recommend them enough for anyone in San Diego.

David R., San Diego

They sealed and repaired our attic ducts and the back bedrooms are finally the same temperature as the rest of the house. Should have done this years ago.

AC Compressor Repair in San Diego: frequently asked questions

Is it worth replacing the compressor or should I replace the whole AC?

If the unit is under ten years old and the compressor is still under manufacturer warranty, replacement usually makes sense. On older R-22 systems a new condenser is often the better value. We give you both numbers.

What causes an AC compressor to fail?

Running low on refrigerant, dirty condenser coils, electrical problems and lack of maintenance are the main causes. An annual tune-up prevents most of them.

How long does compressor replacement take?

Usually one working day, including refrigerant recovery, brazing, evacuation and recharge.
