"Guy who came gave me good advice and advised that he felt my issue was not needed for repair. He didn't try to sale me any service as he saw no need. I appreciate a plumber who isn't trying to get work out of people whom don't need it."

"The company was fast to send a technician over to diagnose the issue and the rate was reasonable, however, they are trying to sell a new furnace too hard instead of trying to fix the old one, the second technician they sent who was supposed to estimate the new unit cost is pretty rude to my tenant, he basically ignored our questions about the repair cost vs. replacement cost, he said to my tenant 'hey I am not talking to you, you are not the owner of this place' simply because he thought the old unit can be fixed. Once he realized that we want to try the repair first before buying, he got up and left without saying a word. He has a very bad attitude and downright rude. I gave the company 4 stars for sending people over quickly but 1 star for their customer service. they need to train their technician some manners. update 2/4/18, after I posted this review, the company called me to get more information about this event and wanting to improve their service, I was very impressed how they trying to make things right and apologize for this unfortunate event. I understand that it could just be this one technician and the company seems very concerned and wanted to do the right thing. I changed my rating for this company because I think they do care about customer service and is making an effort to fix their mistakes."

"Juan and his team were top tier professional. From the initial consultation to the hvac installation, they handled everything with care. Juan was so thorough answering my questions, the install was done in time, and everything was to spec. When I contacted him with an issue after install, him and his business partner came to take care of things immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat. So grateful for the work they did with removing our furnace and installing a split unit heat pump. Thank you Juan! "

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in El Sobrante, CA

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.
