A full day service call plus the cost of the compressor, refrigerant and new driers.Plus perhaps disposal charges of the old one since it contains oil. Depending on the age and condition of your system sometimes it makes sense to replace the entire unit.

Can you replace a straight ac compressor with a heat pump compresser?
The compressors are basically the same . Very simply put with out getting to technical is what makes a heat pump a heat pump is a reversing valve that changes the direction the refrigerant travels in lines leading to and from the condensing unit and to the coil, without changing direction of flow in they compressor. You should always check with the manufacture before replacing an unlike compressor for compatibility.
When recovering refrigerant into a non pressurized container from a refrigerator with an inoperative compressor?
it is necessary to heat the compressor and strike it with a rubber mallet!
Can you heat a car without running the compressor?
In a car the heat usually comes from engine "waste heat". You just need to be running the engine. The compressor is part of the air conditioner, which is used for cooling not heating.
Why does my home air conditioner only blow heat?
Your compressor has possibly stopped working. If you are lucky, the serviceman will only have to replace the freon to get it going again.
Is it a wise choice to replace a compressor in an 11 year old Carrier 42k BTU heat pump rather than replace the whole outside unit?
No it's not. But if that's all you can afford then, you have to put the compressor in. You will have a one year warranty on the compressor. If you have a new system put in you can get a ten year warranty on every part. Goodmans and Amana, also have units with lifetime warranties.
How do you calculate the heat of compression for an air compressor?
enthalpy of air leaving the compressor minus enthalpy of air entering the compressor
What heat energy in the suction vapor entering the compressor is?
latent heat
Can we run our heat pump to heat the house even though the compressor is not working?
No. The compressor is needed to run in reverse in order to pull warm air from the outside to heat the home.
Why does your car heat up when you turn on your air conditioner?
the compressor is places a drag on the engine,as a result it would generate more heat but the car should not be overheating. The fan motors should be on when the a/c is running.
What does the compressor on a heat pump do in heat mode?
The exact same thing it does in the cooling mode, the change between modes of operation does not take place in the compressor.
Should your outdoor HVAC compressor run when your heater is on?
no sounds like your wires are crossed at your thromsthat Answer If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump. even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.
Why does a heat pump need an external source of energy to heat a house?
Heat pumps use a compressor to make the working fluid condense at a higher temperature.The compressor needs input energy.
