Compressor Repair in Orlando, FL

Compressor repair in Orlando, FL starts with proving the compressor is really the problem. Plenty of units get written off with a dead compressor when the actual fault is a weak capacitor, a burned contactor or a loose wire at the terminal block. We test those first.

To check the compressor itself, our crew measures winding resistance across the common, start and run terminals, checks for a short to ground, and reads amp draw against the rated load amps on the data plate. A compressor that trips its internal overload and then restarts after it cools often has a charge or airflow problem pushing it too hard. A compressor that is locked rotor, drawing high amps and not turning, may respond to a hard start kit if the windings test good.

When the windings are open or shorted to ground, the compressor is done. At that point we give you honest numbers. A compressor swap on a 5 year old system still under parts warranty can make sense. On a 15 year old R-22 system it usually does not.

A correct refrigerant charge keeps compressors alive. Call (866) 703-1217 for a real diagnosis.

Central AC Repair FAQs

Common questions about central AC repair

Questions we hear about Compressor Repair in Orlando, FL.

Talk to our crew
How much does central AC repair cost?
It depends on the part. A capacitor or contactor is a small repair. A refrigerant leak or a compressor is a much bigger one. We diagnose first, then give you the price before any work starts, so you decide with the number in front of you.
What does SEER2 mean for my repair or replacement?
SEER2 is the efficiency rating used for new central AC equipment since January 2023. Minimums differ by region, with higher minimums in the South and Southwest than in the North. It does not change how we repair your current system, but it matters if you are weighing repair against a new unit.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
Common causes are a compressor struggling to start because of a weak capacitor, a shorted fan motor, a compressor with a winding shorted to ground, or loose and overheated wiring. Resetting the breaker over and over can make it worse. Leave it off and call us.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Check that the thermostat is set to COOL and below room temperature, check the breaker and the outdoor disconnect, and look at the filter. If there is ice, turn cooling off and run the fan. If there is a burning smell, shut the breaker off and leave it off.
Do you work on heat pumps and furnaces too?
Our focus is central air conditioning: split systems and packaged units, the outdoor condenser and the indoor coil and air handler. Call (866) 703-1217 and tell us what you have, and we'll let you know if it is a job for our crew.
