Q: Will cooling performance improve if compressor speed or capacity is increased?

A: Cooling performance could improve by increasing compressor speed or capacity; however, HVAC system capacity is not based solely on compressor capacity.

Please consider consulting an aftermarket HVAC systems company if you need help in upgrading your system.
