Aire Serv of Birmingham is a locally owned heating and air conditioning company that serves the heart of our community with integrity and honesty. Forming trust through home services; providing installations, HVAC maintenance, AC repair, duct cleaning, indoor air quality system recommendations and repairs for your HVAC systems. We take pride in our commitment of the Neighborly Done Right Promise™ - if it's not done right, we promise to make it right. Choose Aire Serv of Birmingham for quality service you can trust, from a team that treats you like neighbors.

"November 2024: After more than a decade of using AireServ as my primary HVAC company, with multiple new installs, I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star. Since the recent change in ownership at AireServ Over the Mountain, the quality and integrity of this company have collapsed. During a service call, in November, 2024, I was told every technician except one (Hoyt) has been with AireServ six months or less. In March of 2024 a technician serviced both units at my home but failed to seal the main level air exchanger properly. On November 8th, 2024, this error caused condensation, which led to a premature part failure. The technician admitted the mistake on-site. When the tech communicated this to the new owner, he refused to accept any responsibility whatsoever. The unit was under warranty, but I was charged $426.16 for labor, 20 minutes of work, because of their error. I told them then: they had just lost a customer of ten-plus years. August 28, 2025: Things have only gotten worse. Today, I received a call and text about a “maintenance appointment” that was never scheduled or authorized—followed by a $378 charge to my card. This kind of unauthorized billing never happened under previous ownership. This is fraudulent. I plan to dispute the charge and file a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General. My advice: With the new ownership, do not walk, run away from AireServ Over the Mountain before you regret it."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Birmingham, AL

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.
