The AC Compressor: The Heart of the System

Common Signs of a Failing Compressor
- Warm Air Blowing: The fan works, but the air blowing into the room has no cooling effect.
- Loud Noises: Shaking or grinding metal sounds coming from the outdoor condensing unit.
- Tripping the Circuit Breaker: A short circuit inside the compressor motor will trip your electrical panel immediately.
