"Yesterday Jason, senior technician, came in response to my heat pump not working...another technician had come the day before but was unable to diagnose the problem...was impressed with the rapid response of the office of same day appointments...Jason was excellent ion his problem solving skills and methodical checking each part of the system, including the crawl space where recent work had been done, finding insulation was missing from heat pump vents....he also went above the call of duty, finding other problems which had to do with the previous company's repairs which were adding to my heating bill and took steps to remedy them...he even spoke with the company on the phone at my request and told them the problems...I felt Jason was my advocate...he is professional, friendly, and very effective...I would not hesitate to call him or Specialty Heating again...."

"I had a great experience working with John Sandu, President of Absolute Temp Control. If you need your furnace repaired, and aren't sure who to trust, don't worry, this man is exactly the kind of person you want. Yesterday my furnace stopped working. I called him this morning, explained that yesterday I smelled something that smelled like burning coming from the furnace outlets, and then it stopped entirely. I thought the motor was fried or something serious had happened and I was in for an expensive repair. He managed to work me in today, and he came out, took a look, found a fried capacitor, repaired it in 10 minutes, and was on his way. It was a very inexpensive repair - no games from this guy. I have had bad experiences with others in this business, and I had to make several calls before I decided to go with Absolute Temp Control. I am so glad I did, and next time I need help w Furnace or A/C, there is only one number I am sure I can call for a fast, fair, quality repair. I absolutely recommend John Sandu."

"It went extremely well. Punctuality was perfect. Paying attention to details was perfect. Knowledge and professionalism were perfect. The price was competitive. We interviewed 5 different providers. Ultimately, Columbia seemed to stand out best. We tried it, and we were quite happy with the choice. The service cost was for two independent air conditioner systems ( we have a large, long house), and one new furnace."

"I like that they're prompt in keeping their appointments. They give you a range of about three hours. They always call you about a half hour before they're going to get there, so you know they're on their way. I like that they have kept our elderly heat pump going for several years by servicing it and giving us pointers on using the thermostat, etc. I also just find their agents courteous and helpful. I think they do good work."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Portland, OR

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.
