First step—we made sure it was definitely a compressor problem. This unit was making loud noises, not cooling at all, and kept tripping the breaker. Clear signs the compressor was toast.

Next, we connected our recovery machine and carefully sucked out all the refrigerant. It’s required by law, and we’re always careful not to vent anything into the environment.

After that, we unhooked the compressor’s electrical connections and carefully disconnected the refrigerant lines. Took our time here to avoid any damage.

With everything disconnected, we unbolted the old compressor and got it out of the system. It was heavy and awkward, but teamwork got it done!

Once the old one was out, we dropped in the shiny new Carrier compressor, bolted it securely into place, and installed a fresh filter-drier to keep the system clean.

This is compressor oil acid test, because it’s a burnout compressor. We have to do acid treatment since it’s acidic

Then we carefully charged up the system with refrigerant, matching Carrier’s specs precisely. We monitored pressure levels and made sure everything looked perfect.

We reconnected all electrical wiring, flipped the power back on, and tested the AC thoroughly. We verified cooling temperatures, air flow, pressures, and checked that the compressor was running quietly and efficiently.
