I went on a hiatus for the past 7 years and I'm slowly getting back into this line of work. I recently had to replace my compressor because it crapped out in the middle of a cycle. The new HVAC guy I'm working with recommends I remove it because it is preventing my unit from functioning at correctly, thus will shorten the lifespan. He believe it is partially the reason why the compressor went to shit. I cant remember the exact reasoning for installing a low pressure switch on my AC unit years ago, but I think it was to prevent my unit from freezing up at night or in cold weather.
This AC guy recommends using the AC unit without the pressure switch and says I have to accept compressors and motors will go out eventually. This doesnt sound like a very good idea. Last night my AC stopped working again but luckily I have a high temp shutoff to prevent my room from cooking. I'm suppose to see him later today to diagnose my issue. I ask if he has any clients that uses pressure switches and he says no.
Should I look for another AC guy?
