My AC’s Compressor Died—Does That Mean I Have to Replace the AC?

July 15th, 2024

The heart of a central AC is its compressor. This powerful motorized component places refrigerant under pressure so that it will circulate through the rest of the air conditioning system and change between a hot gas and a cold liquid to move heat out of the house.

Because the compressor is so powerful, it uses the most energy of any part of the AC. It’s also an expensive component to replace if it should burn out and fail. Conventional wisdom says that a dead compressor means the whole AC has to go to the recycling yard so a new AC can replace it.

But conventional wisdom isn’t always 100% accurate. So let’s look further into the possibilities when you’ve got a dead compressor. Do you need a full central AC replacement in Stephens County in this case? Or is there another option?
