When it comes to commercial compressors, an undercharge or overcharge of refrigerant may have many undesirable consequences. That’s because both conditions prevent the compressor from operating at peak performance, eventually leaving you with a malfunctioning system that can negatively affect your business.

Troubleshooting undercharge and overcharge conditions for commercial compressors requires a thorough knowledge of HVAC/R systems and their functions. However, the ability to correctly identify the symptoms of an undercharged or overcharged system is key to determining and fixing the exact cause of system malfunction before it escalates into a more serious problem.

Bad compressor valves have plagued HVAC systems for ages. As with any moving part, valves wear down over time, allowing refrigerant to push past the seals and throw the system off balance. Often this leads to flooding and other conditions that cause the compressor to function less efficiently than it should. However, it can be very difficult to diagnose this issue from the outside because there are no visible indications that the compressor is suffering. That's why you need to call in an experienced technician who can solve the problem, right down to the compressor core.

Many buyers want to know where remanufactured compressors come from.

So how do you know when you've reached that point?
