Warranty;

Compressors Installation procedure;

All compressors should be replaced once a full system flush has been undertaken followed with a replacement receiver drier/accumulator and expansion valve/orifice tube. At this time the system needs to be checked for evidence of why the original unit failed (fans working correctly, no blockages, system cycling at correct intervals, correct oil type/qty) in certain circumstances it may be necessary to change the condenser. Failure to do so will invalidate warranty.

Compressor warranty;

Compressors that have failed may be subject to further investigation by the manufacturer in which case it will be necessary for the original invoice stating exactly what has been changed and work carried out (to also include the mileage and current mileage when part was changed along with retur ns form) to be supplied, failure to do so will invalidate warranty from the manufacturer. Remanufactured compressors will also require the same information as above.
