Cost of up to date a/c compressor? I had a Trane XR60 Furnace installed 2 years ago but...
I had a Trane XR60 Furnace installed 2 years ago but elected (unwisely) not to own a new compressor installed. (Paid $3K) The compressor is a 2 ton and it is around 10 years old. It is simply not doing its charge and I have have several people share me it needs to be replaced near a large part. Does anyone have any perception how must this is going to cost me?

An air conditioning element should last 18 to 22 years. If your aged compressor is only 10 years matured, it would be worth having the system checked by a qualified service company. Did it cool the home prior to the foreign furnace installation?
If it was undersized on install, a bright compressor won't make a difference. A 2T compressor will cool an nouns of about 8OO-1000 sq. ft. If your home is larger than this, OR if you live surrounded by a very hot or slightly humid area, you will obligation a larger capacity element. If this is the case, the indoor coil will involve to be replaced to match the dimensions of the outdoor unit. Basically, you are looking at a complete system. Depending on your location, the efficacy of the unit, type and model you purchase, you are looking to invest 2500 to 5000 on a cooling part. Contact three companies in your nouns and ask if they give free quotes. MAKE SURE you check warranty on the product over its life and if the company that installs them also maintain them. It will be worth a few more dollars to go next to a company that will be there to maintain/repair the element if needed.
