Lewisville FAQ

Can a failing compressor be repaired instead of replaced?+

Sometimes, depending on what's actually wrong and how far along the failure is. A proper diagnostic identifies whether it's a specific fixable component (like a start capacitor) or the compressor itself failing internally, which usually isn't repairable on its own.

Is it worth replacing just the compressor instead of the whole system?+

It depends on the age and condition of the rest of the system. On a newer unit, a compressor replacement can make sense. On an older system already showing other signs of wear, replacing just the compressor sometimes just shifts the next failure to a different component, which is worth an honest conversation about before deciding.
