Is it worth replacing an AC compressor or buying a new unit?

Replacing just the AC compressor can make sense if your system is otherwise healthy and parts are available. If you have repeated issues like refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, or short cycling, a full unit replacement is often the better long-term value.
