Central AC systems are the standard for homes across the country: an air conditioning system that sends cooled air through ductwork to vents around the house.

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.

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?

We recommend our customers schedule professional AC maintenance every year. This is a light recommendation—it’s a major one! If you want an AC that is…

But the summer has already started, the hot weather has arrived, and if you haven’t scheduled maintenance yet, you might think you’ve missed the window and it’s better to wait until next year. We hope to convince you otherwise in this post! Late is better than skipping maintenance entirely.
