When replacing an AC Condenser there are lots of things to consider. First, you will need to pick out what kind of condenser you need. Second, what to know during install.

You may need to change your a/c condenser if your car is not blowing cold enough, is contaminated or is damaged. The first question is what to buy. The most popular condenser types are serpentine and parallel flow condensers. See the picture for more info. Really though any type will do, and unless you are picky, all will work about the same. Keep in mind, the better performing condensers are also the hardest to clean.

For install, you will need to service the ac system including replacing the ac drier and evacuating and flushing the system. Most people don’t know that the auto air conditioning system should be serviced every 60,000 miles anyway, so this is good maintenance and will prolong the life of your ac compressor. Most often the condensor is replaced because of contamination, so cleaning out the system is important.
