20 year old ac compressor replacement for high rise bldg
What is the 38AE044570? 40 ton condensing unit? Would that have a Carlyle semi-hermetic compressor(sealed-motor)? Not worth the expense retro-fitting another style compressor in there. Go back with the OEM compressor, identify and repair what took it out.- cturg
