Are You Prepared to Buy a New Condenser or Compressor? Dirty or Bent/Smashed = High Energy Bills Compressor = $$$$ Fan Motor = $$$ Condenser = $$$$

Within this condenser is the compressor. It is the “heart” of the system. It pumps the refrigerant through the copper tubing. If your condenser coils are dirty, it works harder. Like anything else, work too hard too long gives out eventually. This one item is between $600-$2000 depending on size of unit.

If your outdoor unit looks like this you could soon loose your fan, capacitor, compressor or all the above. An easy solution is to spray up and down with a soft flowing jet like stream of water. Water will help, but it wont do the work completely. You may need to call an air conditioning service tech.

The picture here shows the names of the outdoor unit. Each part plays a major role. Dirty or smashed coil fans will cause you to loose money and the system to work harder and provide less cooling effects.
