Yes, AC compressor failure is unfortunately common here due to the strain of constant operation and corrosion from salty, humid air. At Scotts Heating and Air, we expertly diagnose compressor issues. In many cases, we can perform a repair. However, if the compressor has failed due to advanced corrosion or electrical damage, a replacement is often the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.

For a replacement system that lasts in our coastal environment, we recommend units with corrosion-resistant coatings on the outdoor condenser coils and cabinets.
