Arrco

Arrco is a manufacturer of remanufactured scroll compressors for residential and light commercial HVAC-R systems, operating as a family-owned business since 1968 in Cookeville, Tennessee. Now in its third generation of family ownership, Arrco specializes in remanufactured scroll compressors for R-22, R-407C, and R-410A systems, building units for condensing units, mini-splits, and heat pumps in the 1.5-ton to 5-ton range. Each Arrco compressor is triple-tested before leaving the facility: an oil pressure leak test, an electrical circuit test, and a run test under load. Arrco backs its remanufactured compressors with a one-year warranty. Installation kits include a dual run capacitor, a bi-flow filter drier, and a five-foot wiring harness, giving technicians the critical replacement components needed in a single package. For HVACR technicians working on R-22 and R-410A residential and light commercial systems, Arrco remanufactured scroll compressors offer a tested, warranty-backed option with all installation components included.

Product Lines

R-22 Remanufactured Scroll Compressors

Arrco R-22 remanufactured scroll compressors serve the installed base of residential and light commercial HVAC systems still operating on R-22 refrigerant. As R-22 equipment ages past manufacturer support windows, Arrco R-22 compressors provide a remanufactured replacement option for technicians maintaining systems that have not yet transitioned to current refrigerants. Each Arrco R-22 compressor is triple-tested through oil pressure, electrical circuit, and run tests before shipment. The installation kit packaged with each unit includes a dual run capacitor, a bi-flow filter drier, and a five-foot wiring harness.

R-407C Remanufactured Scroll Compressors

Arrco R-407C remanufactured scroll compressors are designed for commercial and transitional HVAC systems that use R-407C as a near-drop-in replacement for R-22. R-407C systems are commonly found in light commercial applications and older residential systems converted from R-22. Arrco R-407C compressors go through the same triple-testing protocol used across the Arrco line, covering oil pressure, electrical circuit integrity, and run performance before leaving the Cookeville facility.

R-410A Remanufactured Scroll Compressors

Arrco R-410A remanufactured scroll compressors replace failed compressors in the current installed base of R-410A residential and light commercial systems. R-410A equipment makes up the majority of the post-2010 residential split system market, and Arrco R-410A compressors cover common tonnage ranges in this segment. Each Arrco R-410A compressor is triple-tested and ships with a dual run capacitor, a bi-flow filter drier, and a five-foot wiring harness. The brazing wire used in Arrco compressor construction contains 56% silver content, meeting industry standards for refrigerant system connections.

Why Technicians Specify Arrco

HVACR technicians specify Arrco remanufactured scroll compressors because each unit is triple-tested before shipment and ships with the critical installation components built into the kit. Arrco's Cookeville, Tennessee facility tests every compressor through an oil pressure leak test, an electrical circuit test, and a run test under load before shipping, providing documented quality confirmation for a remanufactured unit. The inclusion of a dual run capacitor, bi-flow filter drier, and five-foot wiring harness in every installation kit means a technician arrives on a compressor replacement job with the components most likely to need replacement alongside the compressor itself. Arrco backs every remanufactured compressor with a one-year warranty. The brazing wire used in Arrco's construction process contains 56% silver for refrigerant-grade joint integrity.

How to Choose an Arrco Product

The most important decision variables when specifying an Arrco remanufactured scroll compressor are refrigerant type, system tonnage, and voltage.

Refrigerant type determines which Arrco product line applies. R-22 systems require an Arrco R-22 remanufactured compressor. Systems running R-407C require the Arrco R-407C line. Systems built for R-410A require the Arrco R-410A line. The replacement compressor must match the system's existing refrigerant.

System tonnage narrows the selection within each refrigerant line. Arrco manufactures remanufactured scroll compressors for residential and light commercial systems in the 1.5-ton to 5-ton range. Confirm the tonnage of the original compressor before ordering. The original equipment nameplate provides the tonnage specification.

Voltage is the third selection variable. Most residential systems operate on 208/230V single-phase. Light commercial systems may require 208/230V three-phase or other voltage configurations. Confirm the voltage and phase requirement from the original compressor nameplate.

For technicians replacing a failed compressor, the most reliable specification method is to match the Arrco unit to the original OEM compressor model number. The Arrco product catalog at arrcoair.com provides cross-reference guidance for matching Arrco remanufactured units to common OEM compressor models.

FAQs

Where are Arrco compressors made?
Arrco remanufactured scroll compressors are manufactured at the Arrco facility in Cookeville, Tennessee. Arrco has operated as a family-owned business in Cookeville since 1968 and is now in its third generation of family ownership. All triple-testing of Arrco compressors is performed at the Cookeville facility before shipment.

What warranty does Arrco offer on remanufactured scroll compressors?
Arrco backs every remanufactured scroll compressor with a one-year warranty. Warranty terms and conditions are detailed in the documentation included with each Arrco compressor shipment and at arrcoair.com.

What is the difference between Arrco R-22, R-407C, and R-410A remanufactured compressors?
Arrco R-22, R-407C, and R-410A remanufactured scroll compressors differ in the refrigerant each is designed to operate with. R-22 compressors serve the installed base of R-22 systems. R-407C compressors serve commercial and transitional systems using R-407C. R-410A compressors replace failed units in the current R-410A installed base. The replacement compressor must match the system's existing refrigerant type.

What tonnage range does Arrco cover in its remanufactured scroll compressors?
Arrco remanufactured scroll compressors cover residential and light commercial systems in the 1.5-ton to 5-ton range. Confirming the tonnage of the original compressor from the equipment nameplate is the first step in selecting the correct Arrco replacement unit.

What is included in an Arrco compressor installation kit?
Each Arrco remanufactured scroll compressor ships with an installation kit that includes a dual run capacitor, a bi-flow filter drier, and a five-foot wiring harness. The kit provides the components most commonly replaced alongside the compressor on a residential HVAC compressor replacement job.

What brazing wire specification does Arrco use in its remanufactured compressors?
Arrco uses brazing wire with 56% silver content in the construction of its remanufactured scroll compressors. The 56% silver specification meets industry standards for refrigerant system brazing, providing the joint integrity required for refrigerant containment at operating pressures. This specification applies across the Arrco R-22, R-407C, and R-410A product lines.
