One of the standout benefits of ARRCO’s remanufactured scroll compressors is their easy interchangeability with older, less reliable reciprocating compressors. Replacing outdated technology is often a daunting task, but with ARRCO compressors, the process is straightforward. Our compressors are designed to fit seamlessly into existing systems, reducing the complexity of upgrades and ensuring that contractors can confidently offer their clients a reliable solution. Beyond fitting smoothly into existing systems, ARRCO compressors also outperform their predecessors in handling liquid slugging—a common issue with older reciprocating compressors. Thanks to our use of solid copper fittings and a 56% silver induction brazing process, our compressors boast high heat resistance, making field installations clean and efficient. With ARRCO, contractors can rest easy knowing they are providing their clients with compressors that are not only compatible but also more durable and capable of handling challenging conditions.
The heart of any HVAC compressor is its electric hermetic motor, and at ARRCO, we take motor durability seriously. All of our hermetic motors are built and tested in Cookeville, Tennessee, using rigorous quality control processes to ensure optimal performance. Each motor undergoes testing three times during the manufacturing process by a certified Baker Motor Tester, and one of our expert technicians hand-inspects every motor for proper phase paper placement and alignment.
We go the extra mile by using Nomex and Kapton insulation straws to protect the motor’s lead wires from vibration damage, further extending the life of the compressor. Additionally, each ARRCO Compressor Kit is equipped with a Filter Drier, which helps remove moisture and acid from the HVAC system, reducing the risk of motor burnout and enhancing overall system performance. With these extra steps, we ensure that our remanufactured compressors provide contractors with durable, long-lasting solutions they can trust.
At ARRCO, we don’t just prioritize performance and cost savings—we’re also deeply committed to environmental responsibility. As a production recycler, we remanufacture used HVAC compressors with a focus on sustainability, holding the tightest tolerances and rigorously testing all valves. By replacing worn parts, machining existing surfaces, and winding new electric stators in-house, we ensure that each compressor is rebuilt to the same height and diameter as the original, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. Through this process, an average of 65 pounds of steel, copper, aluminum, oil, and cast iron are salvaged from each compressor we remanufacture. By keeping these materials out of landfills and preventing cores from being shipped overseas, we actively reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. For contractors and companies looking to reduce their environmental impact, choosing ARRCO is a smart, eco-friendly option.
When you choose ARRCO, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting peace of mind. We stand behind our remanufactured compressors with a one-year limited warranty, ensuring that you can provide your clients with confidence. If any compressor should fail due to defects in materials or workmanship within the first year of installation, we will provide a free replacement to the original purchaser through a licensed contractor or ARRCO distributor. This warranty underscores our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. By choosing ARRCO, contractors can offer their clients not only cost-effective and reliable products but also the reassurance that any issues will be promptly addressed, minimizing downtime and keeping operations running smoothly.
