This site is not for that kind of DIY. If you're in the hvac business, get your post count up to 15 and apply for pro membership so that you can ask these kind of questions in the private forums.

Does't sound like you should be messing with this. Call a contractor. Please see rules.

You are right. Lockup can happen even the windings are good. You also need somebody to check out why this happened before change the compressor.

You can either match the size of your a/c to match the way your house is now, or you make improvements to your home to match the house to the system you have. This is done by air sealing & insulating the home, along with exterior sun screens to the windows etc... Originally Posted by jayrams
