Frequently Asked

Questions & answers

Can a cold room compressor be repaired, or must it be replaced?+
Many compressor faults — valve plate damage, electrical contactor failure, capacitor faults — are repairable. We only recommend full replacement when the compressor is internally failed or beyond economic repair.
How long does a compressor repair take?+
Most compressor repairs are completed in a single visit where parts are available. Full compressor replacements typically take 4 to 8 hours including system evacuation and re-gassing.
What causes compressor failure?+
The most common causes are low refrigerant causing the compressor to overheat, dirty condensers, electrical faults, liquid flood-back, and lack of maintenance.
