Air Conditioning Parts and Supplies
from:For homeowners that want to do their own repairs and maintenance finding air conditioning parts and supplies can be a challenge. There are several options that range from working directly with the manufacturer or the retailer to obtain the necessary air conditioning parts to ordering online or through repair service companies.

There are some air conditioning parts that can be used on multiple types of brands or models, however many of the parts are unique to one particular type of unit. In addition different sizes of units will required different parts including even universal items like hoses, clamps and fans. Purchasing and installing the wrong air conditioning parts may cause more damage to the unit when you turn it on and can also create a hazard if the Freon or coolant is released into the air.
