Warm air and no engagement
If the A/C blows warm and the compressor clutch doesn't engage when you turn the A/C on, the compressor or its control circuit may be the issue. An inspection can tell the difference.
Unusual noises
A grinding, rattling, or squealing sound when the A/C is on can indicate internal compressor damage. Continuing to run a failing compressor can send debris through the system.
Get it inspected
A/C symptoms overlap, and the compressor isn't always the cause. We inspect the A/C system — compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve — before recommending any repair.
