What Is an AC Compressor?

The compressor is a vital component located in the outdoor unit of your AC system. It compresses the refrigerant and pumps it through the coils, allowing your air conditioner to absorb and release heat. When the compressor fails, your AC cannot function effectively — or sometimes, not at all.

Signs You Need AC Compressor Repair

Don’t wait for a total breakdown! Watch out for these common signs of a failing compressor:

• ❄️ AC blowing warm air even when set to cool

• 🔊 Loud or unusual noises (clanking, clicking, or buzzing)

• 💨 Reduced airflow from vents

• 📉 AC takes longer to cool or cycles on/off frequently

• 🔌 Outdoor unit shakes or won’t start

• 🔥 Circuit breaker keeps tripping

• 🧊 Refrigerant leaks or ice on outdoor unit

If you’re facing any of these issues, call our experts for a quick diagnosis and same-day compressor repair.
