WHY RETROFIT?
Today’s commercial and industrial property owners are constantly looking for ways to improve their bottom line. An increasingly popular option amongst contractors is to replace old or inefficient compressors in HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Not only are BITZER compressor retrofits a cost-effective solution, but our products lead the market with the highest efficiencies and lowest sound levels in their class.
With an impressive national distribution network, and the ability to replace most competitor models – it is clear why BITZER is the “go-to” for contractors looking to provide top-of-the-line products and services. Enlighten your customers of the advantages a BITZER compressor retrofit has to offer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BITZER matches the cooling capacity of the original equipment’s compressors and replaces them with modern high-efficiency compressors.
OEMs assume that contractors will always replace “like-with-like”, allowing them to charge exorbitant prices to the contractor, which ultimately gets passed on to the end user.
For some brands, such as Carlyle and Copeland, BITZER offers free conversion kits.
BITZER recip compressors are superior by design with higher efficiency ratings, lower sound profiles, and lower oil carry-over rates than our leading competitors’ models.
Our aftermarket recip compressors are assembled with genuine BITZER parts, all new running gears and motors, and are thoroughly tested to the identical specifications as those compressors that ship to our valued OEM customers.
Rebuilders typically replace only the broken parts with generic parts, sacrificing quality and, at times, functionality.
