What we did
A malfunctioning compressor needed immediate attention at this home in Lexington. The compressor is the heart of the system, and when it fails, refrigerant stops moving and the equipment cannot deliver comfort.
Ivan handled the repair. He started by recovering the refrigerant from the system, a required step before any work on the refrigerant circuit. He then replaced the compressor under the manufacturer's warranty. Along with the new compressor, Ivan installed a new liquid line dryer and a compatible capacitor. The liquid line dryer catches moisture and debris in the refrigerant circuit, and the capacitor gives the compressor the electrical boost it needs to start each time the system calls for it.
Replacing those supporting parts at the same time as the compressor helps protect the new component and gives the system a clean start. With the work done, the HVAC system is operating efficiently again. In Lexington, where summer heat and humidity can push equipment hard, a properly completed compressor replacement puts the system back in a position to keep the house comfortable. Doing the recovery, replacement, and supporting parts in one visit also means the homeowner is not left waiting on a second trip to finish the job.
