"Fontana Brothers installed my new Bosch HVAC system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Freddie and Shaquille arrived exactly on time, worked efficiently, and left the work area cleaner than it was before they began. Their attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. As a Realtor for more than 30 years, I’ve dealt with many HVAC companies, and Fontana Brothers continues to be one of the very best. They consistently deliver excellent service to both me and my clients, and their pricing remains highly competitive. I trust them completely with my referrals. Special thanks to Dan Fontana, who heads the service department — always organized, responsive, and helpful — as well as the entire office staff, who are consistently friendly and a pleasure to work with. I will absolutely continue to recommend Fontana Brothers to others seeking HVAC installation, repair, or replacement."

"It went really well. We gladly paid about an extra in order to address a major mold outbreak we had through our entire air ducts. After a thorough cleaning, they even installed a UV light to prevent the mold from re-occurring. Given that we have a really old A/C unit that's on its last legs, it was really needed."

"I woke up at 7 am on a muggy Florida morning and called them - the service answered and said they would call after 8 when it opened. They called at 8 - I told them my a/c was not working and was told someone would be out as soon as possible. Got a call back about 10 min later and was told someone would be there in a half hour. The repairman was here before 9 - and the a/c was up and working by 9.30. I do not know how anyone could possibly do better than that. The tech also filled up the coolent and repaired something he found broken on the a/c."

"Fantastic company. The first time I used them, it was just for a maintenance appointment. The most recent time, my A/C broke down at night. Tom came out to my house at almost 10:00pm and had me fixed up in no time! Super great guy that explained everything along the way. Highly recommend."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Clearwater, FL

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.
