"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."

"We own a home-based business which relies heavily on our computers operating efficiently. We have had a service contract with another computer repair business for several years. Recently when we were having problems with our computers, we tried contacting our service contractor multiple times. He never responded. Feeling frustrated, I contacted James at North Alabama Technical Services and explained our situation. He instantly came to our rescue. He "cleaned-up" our computers and took care of all the problems we were experiencing. He went above and beyond to help us in our dire time of need. We would strongly recommend James and his company for computer service needs. We have now retained him on a service contract and are looking forward to working with him in the future."

"Overall, our biggest recommendation is to make sure you keep your invoice handy because the company may not remember what you paid for and what you did not. Also, if you opt for the three month sanitizing treatment, make sure that you keep a record of when your ductwork is due. You must call them for the treatment because they will not remind you. If you ask for a refund for services not rendered, they are not handled in a timely or proper manner.

It went very well. The technicians used booties to not track-in dirt-even when it was inconvenient for them. They replaced the filters at no extra cost (I had one, and they provided the other, but they do not charge for this service). I saw them do some of the work, not because I wanted to hover, but because I want to know what is happening in the systems in my house. We may be renting our property, so it is important all is in good working order and also to anticipate any potential problems.

They found a part that was not up to specs-I did not double check if the parameters (that is just me, I tend to double check) were correct, but they did leave the part, so I can know what was changed. The part looks a bit corroded and it is vital for the working order of the unit. I chose to replace it since it is better to prevent than wait for it to not work. I have done some research since their departure and if it did not need changing right away, at least I know it will improve the function of the unit. I feel they were honest in telling me that it may need changing now, or later. Again, since they were here, I decided to go ahead and change the part.  It would have been way more expensive to do this later.

I think they did do a good job; I saw them really taking the unit apart and testing the different components. They were here for a good long while-they checked two units. My upstairs unit is very new, but needed refrigerant. They tested the unit afterward and it blew very cold supers fast, so when the temperature goes up, I know it will work just fine. I am very happy with the value and the peace of mind. I think it is a great service and I am glad Angie's list had a deal. I was unable to buy 2 off he website, but they honor the same deal for a second unit. The technician also explained some aspects of the inner workings of the unit, so I am very happy with all of it.

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Buckingham, 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.
