"The Repairman (Dennis Kraklio) was as professional as you can get. He listened to the issues I had with my hot water heater. He suggested several alternatives to repair or replace. I have been out of work for almost a year, so expense was an issue. Dennis said "no problem" and came up with a repair that worked out great for my family. He did the work quickly and professionally. Dennis is a definitely an asset to the American Mechanical family. I would not hesitate to call American Mechanical for any household repair issue in the future. Thank You Dennis for all you have done for me and my family,"

"As always, went excellently.  Extremely knowledgeable and dedicated tech cleans systems, checks them out, makes any necessary adjustments. I have a 3-year contract, which covers six semiannual service visits, timed to prepare the systems for winter and summer systems.  Super outfit.  Great service.  Have used them for years.  Also gave the best deal/price for a new replacement system installation when one of my sons bought a townhouse in Virginia Beach a year or so ago.  Installed my new replacement systems as well several years ago.  Great job. <br />"

"David has serviced my HVAC system. He troubleshooted and fixed my duct work damper actuators. Another time he corrected my control panel output. He has done regular maintenance on my A/C system. All times he was conscientious to get it done right and answered many questions that I asked him. And his service pricing was very reasonable. Will"

"Technician & Comfort Advisor were both very professional and courteous... Initial Technician (Nathan Reedy) was very knowledgeable in diagnosing the problem... And then suggested system replacement due to cost of repair, age of system, & availability of future parts... Opted for system replacement, over repair... Comfort Advisor (Joseph Kansco) was also knowledgeable, as well... And guided us through the process of selecting a quality/best value system that best fit our needs... While, at a week in, I am well satisfied w/ the product & the quality of work, I did not provide a "5-Star" rating because, both the pricing of the repair & the pricing of the system replacement seem a bit high... Even w/ discounts applied, replacement cost was still on the "high-end"..."

"Mr Dailey came out on a Sunday an quoted me significantly less than 2 other companies I had come out. I ended up having him replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it and they had it completed by Monday afternoon! Great company and great service! "

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