How durable and reliable is the DanVard compressor compared to OE?

DanVard units are manufactured from high-grade aluminum and produced to meet original-equipment quality standards, aiming to provide comparable durability and corrosion resistance. Proper installation, correct refrigerant charge, and attention to system leaks are key to long service life—this compressor supplies the hardware but not a warranty on system components outside the compressor itself.

• Construction: high-quality aluminum housing
• Manufactured to OE-quality benchmarks
• Prefilled oil reduces handling and contamination risk during install
• Recommended: replace receiver/drier and inspect lines when replacing compressor

What should I confirm before ordering and during installation?

Before purchase, compare the OE number on your existing compressor and verify engine type and model year. During install, follow torque specs, evacuate and vacuum the system, and charge with the correct refrigerant and oil amount; improper procedures can cause premature failure or poor cooling performance.
