Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How much is an 18,000 BTU AC compressor?
SAR 470 including VAT, and it is in stock.
Q2. Does it work with R410A?
No. This compressor is built for R22 only. The refrigerants differ in operating pressure and oil type, and interchanging them damages the compressor and the circuit.
Q3. How do I find out my unit’s refrigerant?
Read the outdoor unit’s nameplate, where the refrigerant is always printed. Or send us a photo and we will identify it.
Q4. What does LRA 53 mean?
It is the starting current, what the compressor draws at the moment of start. It determines the correct breaker size and why a healthy capacitor matters.
Q5. Does the LRA figure tell me the cooling capacity?
No. This product proves it: LRA 53 at 18,000 BTU, while another compressor we stock is LRA 46 at 24,000 BTU. Read capacity from your unit’s nameplate.
