"Home Comfort Systems did a fantastic job with the replacement of my furnace (and my A/C five years ago). Steve is a highly reputable person and explains things easily for people not in the Heating & A/C industry. He is very straight-forward with his quote and doesn't try to pressure or scare you into purchasing something you do not need. Their 10-year labor warranty is also very impressive, and they stand behind their work. A couple of weeks prior, they were able to take a look at my old furnace right away despite having tons of calls due to the first cold snap of the year. The furnace install only took about three hours and was smooth as can be. The installer took great care in making sure floors were protected when hauling equipment in and out of the house. He also made sure to repair some ductwork that extended off the furnace. My suggestion is to make sure you call Home Comfort Systems if you need service or replacement of your furnace and/or air conditioning."

"The thing you dread the most -- A/C not working in the summer on a weekend! I called the company who had last serviced our A/C only to find out they no longer serviced our area so I came to Angie's List to find an alternative. We'd used Lifeline in the past for a shower repair that we were really happy with so I sent an email asking for the soonest appointment during normal business hours. Within 15 minutes we received a phone call that the tech could come out on a Saturday at no additional charge. The diagnostic fee was $79 but would be applied toward the repair if we chose to do it the same day. The technician arrived in the time frame specified, took a look at the A/C and gave us an estimate. It was a reasonable estimate so we proceeded with the work. He completed the repair and inspected the rest of the A/C system. He told us that we could purchase a maintenance plan (which I already had read about on their website) as well."

"My overall experience with Porterhouse Heating & Cooling was very good. I called and requested same-day service due to a gas leak. Porterhouse Heating & Cooling came out that day, replaced the shut-off ball valve, and tested the system after the repair was complete. Also Porterhouse Heating & Cooling ensured the tankless water heater was operable since gas to the house had been shut-off due to the gas leak. Additionally, I had them to conduct my annual preventative maintenance on both furnaces. This was my third (3rd) time using Porterhouse Heating & Cooling. I find them to be responsive, knowledgeable, and customer-focused."

"Brian was the sales person and thankfully he was the first person of four to bid on our job. He took the time to explain what we really needed, why we needed it as well as what we didn't need and why we didn't need it. His professionalism, knowledge and ability to explain HVAC to someone who is not familiar with it made all of the difference. None of the other three companies met the standard he set. The real icing on the cake was that the TR Miller bid was also the most affordable.
Ben and his team came to install the system today. They were on time. They were very accommodating. They worked quickly, efficiently, remarkably quietly and effectively. Ben took the time to explain how everything was installed and why it was installed the way it was. He also explained fully how the thermostat and humidifier work.
Our house, inside and out, is cleaner and neater than when they began their work.
We couldn't be happier. I will actively recommend their service to anyone."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Downers Grove, IL

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.
