Crossy Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 What you actually need is an aircon repair man to check out exactly what's gone awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did and the compressor is shot . Its a 15 year old compressor so not worth the 11k repair cost due to aging plumbing etc and I prefer to get a new invertor unit but I cant find anywhere on line that sells them .

Compressor (outside unit) and inside unit work together recently geckos fried the control board of our outdoor unit and thus it wouldn’t turn on anymore, the indoor unit kept blowing air but it was not cold because the compressor wouldn’t turn on, so they are a team. we had the same kind of setup in our old condo, but we replaced it with a wall mounted inverter unit.

Anyone know of a website that sells outdoor unit only? Any friendly specialty AC shop can order the unit for you. The places like HomePro have the two units already ordered together and the don’t want he problems involved in custom ordering an outside unit only. The problem is that you need to know the referent used in your system (likely R22 that is phased out) and a compatible outdoor unit. Matching the new to the old is an easy job for a real AC technician, but if it is actually cost effective is a very different matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degrub Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Newer replacement units should be bought as a set if R134A is no longer allowed (new R22 is banned in most of the world). The refrigerant pressure is roughly double the previous and requires more robust design. The current ones are R410a and soon R434b. R434b is listed as flammable and requires a little more care. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
