Closter homes sit on larger, further-spaced lots with more bathrooms and more rooms to cool than the denser boroughs south of it, which affects sizing and often argues for multi-zone rather than a single unit. Across Bergen County the cheapest common failure is a run capacitor - a unit that hums but will not start - and it is worth ruling out before any conversation about a compressor. Low refrigerant always means a leak, since refrigerant is not consumed.
