"I've been a customer of Wooldridge for years and have never been disappointed. This time was no different. They are always timely, professional and thorough. Greg pointed out a small problem and was willing to wait while my husband ran to Ace Hardware to get what was needed so we could save money. We are very satisfied with the knowledge and customer service that Wooldridge provides!"

"They were pleasant and efficient from scheduling to repair. The technician knew his trade, and he worked diligently to diagnose the problem, provide us an estimate of what the repair would cost, and then make the repair and check it out to be certain it was working properly. We were entirely satisfied with the Company."

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

"We are new to the area and had previously hired a â top-rated company to install our thermostat. Well...they did, but we had to hire another company to come and fix their error. Johnston was that company. Knowing nothing about them, it was a risk...having already spent money for the initial install. Yet we were out at ease with the initial 730am phone call that weâ d placed for service. The tech was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, answering every question that we had and walking us through the diagnosis/repair. Excellent service all around! Would recommend them any day."
Voila!!

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Bedford, VA

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.
