I am a highly skilled home service professional who recently completed a routine air conditioning maintenance service. During the inspection, I noticed that the client's compressor was over amping while running and on startup, indicating a failing compressor. I replaced the dirty filter with a new one that the client had, and then I went outside to find the compressor over amping while running and on startup, indicating a failing compressor. The client wanted quotes for a new one, but did not want to replace it yet due to financial reasons. I will talk with the client's husband to see if they are willing to have it replaced while prices are low.
