A condensing unit is the part of your Air Conditioner that sits outside the home. It is typically what everyone refers to as "the Air Conditioner". The air conditioner's condensing unit is the most vital part of your system since it houses all of the important parts. The condensing unit houses the compressor, the heat that is removed from your home is pushed through the piping inside the fins. To put it simply, the condensing unit is the heart of the air conditioner.

Yes as a matter of fact we can. Once your Air Conditioner's condensing unit reaches a certain age it may not make sense to repair your old unit and will actually save you money in the long run to replace it with a new energy efficient Air Conditioning Condensing Unit. Efficiencies have improved dramatically in the last few years. Refrigerants in the newer units are environmentally friendly, unlike some of the older refrigerants. One of the largest factors in repair vs. replace is the fact that the older refrigerants are not made anymore and therefore the cost of the refrigerant and parts to repair continue to rise. If you have a unit that require R-22 refrigerant, you may have to face this issue sooner, rather than later, as manufacturers have stopped making this type of refridgerant.
