    Will a home ac compressor run without freon? There is a leak in copper pipe. Trying to figure out if compressor needs replaced even after fixing leak.

    Will a home ac compressor run without freon?

    Yes it will in most cases BUT it is very bad to do so.

    If you caught the problem soon enough a service person might be able to fix the leak and recharge the unit. It sounds simple but there is a lot more to it than just fixing the leak and a recharge.

    It also depends upon the age of the unit. If it is real old you might be better off just replacing it.
