The outdoor component of your AC system is called your AC condenser. Its function is to collect or release heat, depending on the time of year and your thermostat settings. The condenser is typically comprised of the condenser cabinet, the coil, a compressor, a fan, and a variety of AC system controls. So what does a condenser do? The compressor pumps refrigerant into the coil where it expands and cools, as the condenser coil is the component responsible for heat transfer. Meanwhile, the fan circulates the air across the coil to facilitate the heat transfer.
If your AC system isn't working properly and your condenser is to blame, it is possible that you can repair or replace just the condenser in order to get your system back up and running. At Flo-Rite Air Conditioning & Heating, we can help you determine if you need a simple repair or a complete replacement.
Our team offers a variety of AC condenser repair services, and we specialize in making old equipment perform like new. We can provide estimates and will inform you of any potential downsides to repairing your condenser rather than replacing it prior to completing the work to ensure that you are fully informed and make the best decision for your home and family.
In some cases, we may recommend an equipment replacement. In that event, we will determine if you can replace just the condenser or if a complete system replacement will be necessary. If your equipment is new and was damaged by external factors such as the weather, it may be possible to simply change out your condenser for a complete fix. However, for older models, this may not be recommended, as a replacement could cause further issues down the road if it is mismatched with other system components.
