"Streamline Services is my go to place for plumbing and hvac repairs. I always have fantastic and speedy service. My last service call was truly exceptional and worth taking the time to review. I knew I needed my water heater replaced, and also a repair to my air conditioning system. I didn't feel pressured, and the technician answered every question I had, and I did not feel rushed into any decision. From the first phone call, to the time of install, I received nothing but great customer service. I won't call anyone else."

"I highly recommend Apex-based "A. Maynor Heating & A/C", who replaced my furnace and the entire central air conditioning system (outside condenser unit, inside evaporator coil, and new refrigerant lines) on 7-17-2020 at my Cary house. I also had them install the new outside condenser unit on the opposite side of the house (where it's in the shade, able to operate more effectively) compared to where the original condenser was (in the direct sun). All of their personnel were very competent, polite, prompt, and a pleasure to interact with, from Christy & Tammy in the office, to Carlos & Louis who performed the initial inspection & diagnosis of the original system that had failed, to Norm who performed the house "load calculation", recommended the appropriate new system, and who (since he's a licensed electrician) modified the wiring at the electrical panel as needed for the new condenser location, to Ramon & Christian who performed the new installation, and to Robert who performed the post-installation check and installed a new condensate pump."

"The Air Experts technician, Allen, arrived right on time for our semi-annual system check appointment. Everything was fine except the filter. No hard sale. No unneeded parts or repairs. Such a relief compared to other companies I dealt with in the past. I am grateful to Air Experts for this level of 5-star customer service."

"My experience with Carolina Comfort Air started in September of 2018. Both of our HVAC systems were over 15 years old, constantly in need of repair, and highly inefficient. I solicited quotes from 5 different companies of various brands and size. Justin contacted me quickly to schedule an inspection, as I saw their mailings and good reviews online. Justin was very knowledgeable from the start and happened to arrive while the warranty contractor was performing a repair (also a reputable company). Justin is the only one who crawled under the house to map the duct work, and while doing so, found that a secondary line was detached from the junction box (blowing cold air into the crawlspace). The warranty contractor was able to repair this onsite once it was identified. Justin provided a reasonable assessment and proposal on a 15-SEER package unit and 16-SEER split gas unit. After review of the pricing and brand options from all contractors, I kept coming back to Justin's technical knowledge when describing his recommendations to me and my confidence in his thoroughness. As an engineer, I appreciate this level of detail and felt I would be working with a company who gets it right. In addition, CCA was the second most competitive pricing option (only beaten by a couple hundred dollars) with apples to apples comparison. I went back and forth with Justin on various options, high-efficient models, etc., but given our house's age, came back to his original recommendation. He could have recommended higher SEER models, like other contractors did, but recommended what he thought was right for my house. I could not have been more RIGHT in my initial feeling of Justin and CCA. We were able to execute the contract and schedule installation within 2 weeks. Justin was able to schedule two crews to complete both systems on the same day, and the team lead Jordan was fantastic and on time. They were able to get right to work and put plastic down on the upstairs carpet (took them like 20+ min to do) and put drop cloth down on the floor. I was very impressed the time they took to ensure cleanliness and protection of our home. Additionally, we had just painted the walls in the hallway, and they did not even make a scratch (I looked!). We had a minor issue regarding placement of the outdoor units, but Justin arrived within an hour of hearing about the issue and was able to drive to the town hall and resolve it with the appropriate department. Talk about responsiveness and dedication to making it right for the customer! The team completed the installation around 4pm, and I had two working systems before the weekend. Jordan gave me a quick run-through of the new smart thermostats, and Justin came by later on after 530pm and stayed for over an hour, past 630pm on a Friday, inspecting the work and tweaking thermostat settings to make sure I had the most optimized system possible. If this isn't going above and beyond, I do not know what is. The system then passed the town inspection and Duke Energy rebate audit with flying colors. The inspectors commented on how high-quality of an install it was. CCA filed all of the Duke rebates on my behalf and sent me the tracking information. Duke had an issue with their system, and I did not receive the duct sealing rebate for the systems. Justin and Shannon with CCA worked with their Duke contact to fix/update in the system, and I received the rebates a few weeks later. With so much volume, they certainly can make things happen. However, CCA does not sacrifice quality with their volume. About a week after install, I had their service team out to adjust the split unit blower motor that was set to the default too-high of a speed for my existing duct work, something you don't always realize until the system has a chance to run and get settled. Bill was also fantastic and was able to diagnose and adjust the setting to the right speed to eliminate the whining noise. Brian and an installation supervisor stopped by earlier that day to take a look as well; again, the commitment to customer satisfaction us unmatched. Last month, Brooks was also fantastic when the heating system was inspected and he was able to tweak the gas output to the optimal setting. All was complimentary and response time was next day! Of all the fantastic service I received, and the personal attention and responsivness from Justin, every CCA employee I had the pleasure of interacting with in my home said, in various ways, that CCA will always do what they need to in order to make it right for the customer. "They'll make it right" is not something you hear unanimously from employees about their employer all the time, and I think is indicative of the type of top-notch ship CCA is sailing. Happy employees result in happy customers (and quality work), and I could not be happier with my choice to partner with CCA for this large investment. I have confidence that any issue I have will be dealt with quickly and with care, and that they will do what is right. If you are in need of replacement or repair, I could not recommend Justin more and would give my highest recommendation to Justin and Carolina Comfort Air!"

"On a Friday evening our upstairs air conditioning unit suddenly stopped working. Gand M sent a service technician to our home within an hour of my call to their answering service. The technician, Greg Stephens, was knowledgeable and professional and immediately diagnosed the problem which happened to be the result of a mistake made by our previous HVAC company. I can't compliment Gand M enough for their fast response, quick diagnosis and reasonable price for an after hours visit. After dealing with a couple of other HVAC companies it was a pleasure to deal with Gand M.

"My technician Carlos was friendly, professional, and very prompt. He explained what was uncovered during the Diagnostic check and the rationale for the corrective action. My only dissatisfaction was that I called last month due to an A/C issue. Sadly, the 30-day warranty did not allow for my service call today to be reduced or waived."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Carrboro, NC

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.
