1. A climate-control system, comprising:
a refrigeration circuit including at least one compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator coil, and a hot gas reheat coil; and
at least one first detector monitoring a head pressure of refrigerant exiting the at least one compressor and at least one second detector monitoring a suction pressure of refrigerant entering the at least one compressor;
wherein the hot gas reheat coil is positioned between the at least one compressor and the condenser in the refrigeration circuit;
wherein a capacity of the at least one compressor is modified based on data produced by the at least one first detector monitoring the head pressure of refrigerant exiting the at least one compressor and the at least one second detector monitoring the suction pressure of refrigerant entering the at least one compressor;
wherein the climate-control system is configured to reset the suction pressure of refrigerant entering the at least one compressor by automatically decreasing the capacity of the at least one compressor if the at least one second detector detects the suction pressure of refrigerant entering the at least one compressor is less than a first preset threshold; and
wherein the at least one compressor includes at least one fan, wherein the at least one fan is configured to turn off when the at least one first detector detects the head pressure of refrigerant is below a second preset threshold pressure.
