Question here for the group. My Janitrol (Heat Pump)system is 13 years
old. The compressor shorted out to ground and needs to be replaced. I am
getting two different stories on how I should precede.

One side saids that the whole unit has to be replace because the new
compressor will not match up with the Heat Exchanger.

The other side saids that Goodman manufactures a comparable Compressor
that will match up with the older Heat Exchager.

The model numbers are Outdoor Compressor CPE18-1AB (1 1/2 ton) the heat
exchanger is model No. A24-10.

Any help would be great.
