Meredith Plumbing and Heating LLC is ready to handle all of your water delivery and removal system needs. We do any necessary plumbing repair and installation to restore efficiency to your system. To prevent backups, we perform detailed sewer services using high-tech equipment. We will take on any job involving plumbing and heating. We are experienced experts in sewer drain cleaning, water pumps and sewer pumps, water filtration systems, gas piping and all gas related services and issues, water tanks, on demand hot water heaters repair or replacements. 24 HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE AVAILABLE!! CALL (603) 455-9269

"Install was scheduled for 9:30 EST 12/22/2025. At approx10:30am called to inquire as to his status. He told me he was 10 mins away. He arrived an hour later. He was somewhat agitated on arrival. We together unboxed the new faucet and he examined the existing functional kitchen faucet. The system in place was result of new construction in 2017.He raised no concerns about new product quality or concerns about getting the job done. He was at the job approx. 2 hours and I was present close by throughout. After approx. one hour he became more and more agitated. He asked me to show him the basement as he "needed more length" to hook up the product. No changes took place in the basement. Shortly thereafter he announced the new product was "cheap" and suddenly "fell apart". He became agitated and told me the only option was to return the product and that he now had to replace the previous existing faucet. At this time on my exam noted one of the water hoses on the new product was no longer functional. There was a short extension on the other hose which I commented seemed to imply he had realized the new product hoses were too short. He quickly took off that extension and put it in his pocket, reiterated the new product was "junk". When done he asked me for 500$ for the two hours work and left. On my further exam of the new faucet after he left was clear he had been trying to stretch these short hoses to the point of damaging beyond repair both (please see pics) hoses. It was obvious all of this could have been avoided by adding extensions from the start. The under sink area would have easily accommodated this. In retrospect I am sorry I paid him. But, I am elderly, live on a rural dead end dirt road and just needed him out of the house. It is why I use a company like Angi to hopefully have some screening responsibility. Follow up communication has been difficult during the holidays. Ultimately I did speak with him. He continued to be dismissive and challenged me to seek legal recourse. I questioned his agitation that day. I asked if he had been drinking (both my parents were heavy drinkers and I regret not following that suspicion that day). He did not deny just replying "If you are so smart why didn't you do the job yourself". I told him that is why I strive to employ reputable contractors, always."

McGinley & Sons: Your trusted Heating and AC Repair experts in New Hampshire. We are a family owned & operated business, with no subcontractors. Our cost is determined by the job. Contact us today!

"Bill was willing to install a heat pump system that I purchased, even though his default was Bosch. His son and helper did the install over two days. It was getting late when they finished and the unit worked, although it whistled. I let Bill McGinley know but couldn't get them to come out to resolve the problem for over a week. Bill figured out that air was being sucked in between the top bottom front panels on the ACIQ central unit and did a workaround -- taping over it. The manufacturer ACIQ was no help in acknowledging that there was a problem with their product. I made a mistake paying on the basis of the quote rather then requiring an invoice. When I tried to apply for the NHSaves rebate, they wanted an invoice. Bill was not very responsive in sending me the invoice. He did when I told him NHSaves would be contacting him. But he was very accommodating in doing the work i wanted done instead of doing what he was used to doing."

"All I needed was a replacement for a broken, rusted toilet flange that was set in cast iron.

To be fair, I didn’t get any other estimates, but it did seem a bit expensive for a job that took only one hour."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Barnstead, NH

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.
