Rebuilt Compressor

Rebuilt compressors are an economical choice when making repairs to car air conditioning systems. Many car mechanics will use these replacements when possible.

Rebuilt compressors are popular mainly for their prices. A remanufactured unit costs considerably less than a new one. This is because it takes less machine work and fewer parts to remanufacture than to build from scratch. Check to see whether the company has a policy in which it accepts old, broken parts in exchange for a rebate or discount on the new one. This can save even more money as well as being a better environmental choice than throwing it away.

Rebuilt Compressors: How It’s Done

A/C compressors are washed, scrubbed, taken apart, washed and scrubbed again and then rebuilt. Rings, bearings and other delicate parts are always replaced with new ones. This process ensures that the reused parts will be returned to factory condition and that the parts, when reassembled, will function just like a new unit. After reassembly, the unit is tested for leaks to see whether the vibration and noise falls within acceptable limits and to ensure proper voltage at the clutch.
