You want hard... try 15 ton compressors by yourself. It can be done.

Let me know your technique. Today I replaced a compressor in a 5T Trane . The compressor is very heavy in addition the condenser is tall.

Heck, I can't even reach some of the compressors in higher efficiency Trane condensers without a ladder.

We have a bar with a steel stub to hook the loop on top of the compressor. It comes in handy for the tall ones but I prefer to stick the handle of a channel locks through the loop. Either way you're lifting with one arm,even the 5 toners, so eat your spinach.

plummen,
you have to change them out if there under warrenty.
I had a unit that had a leak in the condenser coil which was a micr channel type. freon leaked out and unit was still running and took out the compressor.
supply house gave me a new compressor and a new condenser instead of a new unit. unit was 2 years old. i would have loved to swich out the cond.

Only unit I ever had go out under warranty was one I bought from briggs back in 2004,they gave me a whole new condensor to replace it with.
other wise Ive had really good luck with equipment Ive installed over the years including ducane /goodman mostly in last 20 years,but I have started selling some 13 seer ruud and weather king condensors and coils in the last year that seem to be pretty decently built
