Best Answer

Changing you own home AC compressor or the whole condensing unit is not a typical do-it-your-self project. Many municipalities require a permit to do the work and there is a licence to purchase and handle refrigerant so we can protect our atmosphere.

You will also need the proper tools and equipment like a vacuum pump, gages and a torch along with the ability to silver solder.

If you are comfortable with that - have at it. I suggest you have a reputable contractor check it out first. It may not be the compressor at all. Repair may be as simple as replacing a relay or cleaning contactors and the contractor should warranty any parts he installs.
