How Does an HVAC Compressor Work?

An HVAC unit compressor works by compressing the refrigerant vapor, raising the pressure and turning it into hot gas. The gas is then condensed as the unit draws in ambient air through the condensing coil using a fan. The unit then releases the heated air.

On average, OEM compressors tend to last between 12 and 15 years. They are very dependable in HVAC systems. If you notice it has gone bad before the average time it should last, it’s likely due to an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

What are the Different Types of HVAC Compressors?

When it comes to HVAC compressors, the options are plentiful and vary according to the specific make and model of the system. Examples include centrifugal, rotary, screw, reciprocating, scroll, and hermetic reciprocating compressors.

How to Test an HVAC Compressor

Deactivate the power source to the HVAC compressor before you begin to test it. Once the power is off, remove the protective cover and disconnect the wires. Connect and adjust the multimeter to the wiring. Measure the resistance between the terminals. Once done, reconnect the wires and replace the protective cover.
