The compressor is the heart of a heat pump, and its performance directly impacts the overall
efficiency of the system. An optimal compressor selection is essential to ensure proper
functioning. Knowing the signs of a failing compressor, such as unusual noises, refrigerant leaks, or the system blowing warm air, can help maximize compressor lifespan and ensure accurate diagnostics. While newer A2L refrigerants are being introduced to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, they require specific compressor designs.
Read this FAQ to learn the impact of A2L refrigerants in heat pumps, along with the following:
- Optimal compressor selection tips: In the case of compressors, size matters.
- Signs of a failing compressor: A lengthy diagnostic is often unnecessary when you know what to look for.
- How to maximize the compressor lifespan of heat pumps: The devil is in the details, and considering them goes a long way.
- Safety tips for installing a replacement compressor: Follow these safety tips and be safe rather than sorry.
