"From start to finish . . we had a great experience. Larry and Marlon came within a day of contacting Horne to evaluate our previous HVAC and see exactly what we needed. It was determined that our HVAC was in need of being replaced . . and from there we were helped in getting the financing needed and an appointment was quickly set up, our HVAC was installed and we had air conditioning once again. The install was so smooth. Nick and Martine were so professional and courteous and worked hard from the moment they got there to make sure everything was done/installed correctly. They both were very efficient and even vacuumed after the job was done!! The next day I had to call the office to set up an inspection . . and even Rebecca was friendly, courteous and set up the inspection within the next day too. All along the way/throughout the process we received emails and/or texts . . to remind or let us know that someone was on the way and even a picture to help ensure our safety of who to expect. Horne has replaced both of our air conditioning units and both experiences have been great!! I would highly recommend this company anytime. They are quick, professional, courteous, efficient and each time . . a job well done!!"

"I've just been really pleased. The only thing that I kind of have a question about. They said the supervisor would come back out and show me pictures of what they had done under there after they got finished. He had some kind of a conflict and he didn’t come. I have to call and ask them to have him come. But I have the number of the man who talked to us at the begging and he is the one who told me always get pictures when somebody finishes, not just when they start. I think he will come or send whoever is supposed to come. I am not worried about that."

"Service Tech msg when he was on his way. Arrived on time and was very professional. However, the estimate for the replacement unit was 3 times higher than what a unit should cost to replace. So needless to say, I was disappointed in their quote."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Albemarle, NC

A condenser fan motor is a crucial part of your air conditioner that prevents the compressor from overheating. It pulls heat from your AC unit to cool the refrigerant moving through the condenser coils. This allows your system to blow cool air and keeps everything running smoothly.

The most common causes of AC fan motor failure include loss of lubricant in the system due to overheating and a rusted or leaking run capacitor. Poor lubrication can also cause failure in the belt drive, which may impact the AC fan motor. Weather and electrical components can also affect your AC. For example, a storm could send water into your motor windings and damage the internal components.

Air conditioner fan motors last about 12 years on average, though they can last longer if maintained well. This includes keeping them clean and cooled as needed with annual air conditioner checkups. Routine maintenance is essential to catch AC fan issues early. An HVAC inspection can cost between $70 and $500, while AC cleaning services may range from $100 to $400.

A broken AC fan motor may need replacement because this part usually can’t be repaired. Several things indicate it’s time to replace your AC fan motor, including buzzing noises, a constantly running fan, unusually high energy bills, or an aging system. If you notice these signs, call an HVAC pro for help before the faulty motor starts to strain other parts of the AC system.

There are clear warning signs of a bad AC fan motor, including unusual interruptions in the fan operation. The motor might be malfunctioning if you hear weird noises like grinding or rattling or if the fan continues to spin when the unit is off. These indicators compromise your AC’s cooling performance and increase your energy costs. Addressing these issues immediately by contacting a trusted HVAC professional prevents further damage and safeguards your HVAC's efficiency.

Replacing your AC fan motor takes a professional one to four hours. The technician will start by assessing your system and safely removing the damaged motor. If a new part needs to be ordered, it might take a few days. Once the part is available, your pro will install it properly and make sure your system is running smoothly.
