"The repairman arrived toward the end of the assigned appointment window, sitting in his truck for 8 minutes before starting work. He examined the system and told me that the evaporator coils were iced-up, and he recommended that we let the system thaw overnight and have another repairman return the next day to add R-22 refrigerant. When I asked him if there were any other options he offered to run the heat cycle to thaw the evaporator coils and then he could make an assessment. After returning outside, I found the repairman running my water hose to cool the compressor, because it had severely overheated and activated a thermal relay preventing the compressor from running (he explained). I inquired about conducting a leak test, and the repairman said it would have to be scheduled another time for an additional charge. I declined the leak test and went inside my home while the compressor finished cooling. When I returned outside, the repairman had added R-22 without advising me of his intentions. Asking how much he added, he said it took two pounds at $95.00/LB R-22. I left and he continued to check the system operation. Working outside my home near my condenser I saw the repairman on his phone. As I walked up to him he told me that the condenser was not operating at the correct pressure and amperage and that he had only seen a compressor fail in this mode "once several years ago." Accordingly, he needed some advice on how to proceed. After discussing the impractical option of replacing the compressor for approximately $2000, he then offered to price a system replacement (without mentioning any need for evaluation or planning: SEER, cooling/heating requirements, square footage, insulation, ducting inspection, permitting, etc). Here is his official proposal that he squeezed into the end of his "DESCRIPTION OF WORK" section on my invoice: "$5746.68 CARRIER 4TON HEAT KIT AND PAD USE EXISTING STAT, STAND, Copper, drain and electrical." Before he prepared his invoice, I told him that I had an Angie's List coupon for $40. When he presented the invoice, it had 2 1/2 pound of R-22 added (versus the 2 pounds he had previously stated). I signed the invoice after discussing this issue, and the repairman departed approximately one hour and twenty-three minutes after he parked his truck. Issue 1: I never explicitly authorized the repairman to add R-22 to my system. Issue 2: After adding refrigerant, he determined that the compressor was defective. Could this not be detected before wasting refrigerant and my money? Issue 3: In the invoice DESCRIPTION OF WORK he notes: "As I added to 3rd lb [R-22] compressor over amped and STARTED clanking. Excessive oil" I suspect that severely overheating a marginally running compressor in a 12-year old condenser unit would cause further problems (apparently a compressor failure)."

"Prior to using this service, a separate provider incorrectly diagnosed the repair and suggested it would cost $750+ to fix issues that did not exist. The Salt Waves tech correctly assessed the fault and did not price gouge on the fix."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Atlantic Beach, FL

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.
