How to Tell If Your AC Compressor Is Going Bad

  • Warm air blowing from vents.
  • Unusual grinding or rattling noises from the outdoor unit.
  • Frequent breaker trips when the AC turns on.
  • Weak or inconsistent airflow.

When to Consider Replacing the Compressor

If your AC is over 10 years old and the compressor is failing, replacing the entire unit may be a better investment than just replacing the compressor.
