Yes Yes. The cooling tonnage should be equal to or larger than the origonal, this will ensure that the compressor is not overworked.

When should you change your outdoor condenser?

As a 34-year HVAC veteran, I usually recommend replacement of the condensing unit only when the compressor has failed(seized or burnt out). A properly maintained central air conditioning system should easily last 20-30+ years, so don't replace it early!When a replacement is required, I will usually recommend a menu of options (at increasing cost): 1. Replace the failed compressor in the existing condensing unit2. Replace the existing condensing unit only (where the replacement condenser has the same SEER rating as the original3. Replace the condensing unit and the evaporator coil to upgrade the efficiency rating of the system4. Replace the entire system (when converting from R-22 to R-410A refrigerant)Many existing condensing units have an efficiency of 10 SEER or less. The minimum SEER rating of replacement condensing units is 13 SEER. If you only replace the outdoor unit, it will no longer match the lesser efficiency rating of the existing evaporator coil. Not only will this mismatch reduce overall efficiency, it will probably void the manufacturer's warranty.R-22 equipment is being phased out. I do not recommend using existing tubing with new R-410A equipment, since it will contain moisture-laden mineral oil which will deteriorate the new synthetic oil which is compatible with R-410A.The HVAC Veteran

Yes new units are much more efficient.


Why does your s-10 starter keep turning after the motor has started and you have to pull the starter relay to stop the starter?

This usually means a sticking solenoid that keeps the starter engaged after activation. The fix is to remove the starter and clean but my s-10 starter is a closed unit so you will have to replace the complete starter and solenoid unit.
