"The Tech went above and beyond to do my inspection and service. I did nor buy the yearly maintenance plan and I did not buy the $190. furnace filter ($20) at Home Depot. I had and still have a problem with the system. It makes a growling noise every 2 minutes or so. Thanks so much, anyways."

"I would like to share my experience with this particular company.my husband and I both feel that we were treated professionally and with courtesy and gave us a wonderful product that was affordable. The servicemen that came out to install our air and heating unit where professional and answered all of our questions. We would recommend this company to anybody who needs AC and heating services they're fast quick and easy to work with. I really feel that this company also does not take advantage of seniors or try to talk them into things they don't need or into larger units they expressed to us a fair price for their product and labor. Anybody interested in this company please ask for Frank. This is the man that knows all the answers."

"My A/C stopped working last night. I called Fel-Air first thing this morning and they were able to schedule an appointment for me this evening. The technician was very professional. He was able to tell me within 5-10 minutes that I needed a new solenoid. He had the part with him and replaced it, got my A/C up and running! I was so happy to only have been without my A/C for half a day. Also, I was very happy with the cost of the repair. Thank you Fel-Air!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Big Bear Lake, CA

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.
