RV AC Compressor Replacement in Hobe Sound, FL
Full compressor swap, refrigerant recovery and recharge, electrical connection verification, and run-test after installation.
The compressor is the heart of your AC system. When it fails, there's no cooling at all. Compressor failure is usually the result of years of wear, low refrigerant running the unit dry, or electrical issues like bad capacitors that cause the compressor to overheat. In many cases, a compressor replacement is more cost-effective than a full unit swap.

RV AC Compressor Replacement FAQ
How much does compressor replacement cost?
$600-$1,200 depending on the unit model and whether we use a new or remanufactured compressor.
Is it better to replace the compressor or the whole unit?
If the unit is less than 8 years old and the rest of the components are sound, compressor replacement is more economical. For older units, full replacement ($1,200-$2,500) may be the better long-term investment.
What causes compressor failure?
Most commonly: repeated cycling from a bad capacitor, running on low refrigerant, electrical surges, or simply age and wear.
How long does compressor replacement take?
4-6 hours including refrigerant recovery, replacement, recharge, and testing.
Will the new compressor be as efficient?
Yes. A new compressor restores the unit to its original cooling capacity. Combined with clean coils and a new capacitor, your AC will perform like new.
Can you replace just the compressor on any AC brand?
We replace compressors on Dometic, Coleman, and most major RV AC brands. Some older or discontinued models may be harder to source parts for.
