"Terrific experience. Scheduling was easy. My technician, Guy, gave me a call ahead of time, hit the time he said he'd be here and was courteous and efficient. I ran a large mechanical contracting business for years so understand this business. Guy ran through his checks on what is a fairly complex home system. He pointed out problems that were minor, major, or had the potential to be major. We discussed options and timing. Since our system is old, it will be difficult to repair some of the parts and pieces while others would be fairly standard. We may want to look at a new system this summer to avoid a major problem during a future heating season. I will definitely be talking to Sila."

"I hired this pro in October 2018. I wrote a review then but for some reason, I don t think it posted....I must have done something wrong. I had been trying to find someone to repair my Rinnai gas wall furnace for months. I called several services and did not get even one call back. I found the number of Moulton Mechanical Services and called. Jared answered right away and came out to do the work on a Sunday! He fixed the furnace quickly and offered to clean my mini-split AC system. He is very knowledgeable and educated me on the things I should and shouldn t be doing with my system. He is very honest and his pricing is extremely fair. I am going to hire him again soon for annual maintenance. I highly recommend Moulton Mechanical Services."

"I had originally thought that a high velocity mini-duct central a/c system was the only option for my Victorian home with baseboard heating. But when Joe Carnevale from Airco explained the benefits of a multi-zone slim-duct system with concealed air handlers in the attic to cool the second and third floors and a conventional system tied to existing (unused) floor registers on the first floor, I was intrigued. After rebates and tax credits (which aren?t available for high velocity systems) the cost was extremely competitive and the fact that the system has four individually controlled zones means that I can adjust the cooling levels to keep operating costs lower. The installation was a little tricky as I asked (owner) Steve Duarte and his crew to run the refrigerant, electrical, and condensate lines through an unused chase to the second and third floors rather than affix a conduit to the outside of the house (which wouldn?t have been allowed due to my home?s historic designation.) The work was done efficiently and with practically no disruption to the day-to-day living that went on during the installation. The left the house and basement very clean. I have been very satisfied with the system?s performance during the several heat waves we?ve experienced this summer. All in all it was a very professional job from start to finish and I would highly recommend Airco Home Comfort Services to anyone considering central air conditioning, and in particular to owners of older homes without existing ductwork.

"Excellent communication from Keith; outstanding service from Roger. Professional, timely, and reasonably priced. They came in under estimate on my boiler repair and advised that a second bit of work that had previously been discussed was not going to be necessary. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!"

"Very well. I felt Craig was very professional and very knowledgeable. I think the previous company did me a favor when I was told they couldn’t service my boiler any longer"

"Service expert came the same day I called, worked on the HVAC unit in a wicked downpour but remained cheerful about it. Work performed very quickly and central a/c is back in business. Couldn't like it more."

"Talked to Matt the owner one very hot Sunday in June when my A/Cs were not working. I had my regular folks tell me it was shot and had a leak. Matt sent his team out on Monday and the A/Cs were up and running in about 40 minutes. There was no leak. They worked beautifully all summer. My neighbor's went out this year - her unit was about 5 years older than mine. I gave her NextGenAire's contact info and she just replaced her unit. She is very happy with the price and service."

"The water pump for my over 16 year old central air conditioner stopped working and, as a result, I discovered water in my basement. I searched Home Advisor for a company to fix the problemand selected NSHEC based on customer reviews. I was able to schedule a service call online for that afternoon, then had a few questions about the issue and repair that I wanted answered before having them come out. I called and left a message, they returned my call within minutes, discussed my issue, explained what the possible issue was, how long it would take to fix it as well as the estimated cost of the repair. The technician, I believe his name is Jake, arrived on time and had the part on his truck. He quickly made the repair, explained what he did and that it is common for the these pumps to eventually stop working. If that should happen again in the future, the new pump was wired to shut down the ac and getting water in the basement would now be averted. The final cost was a few dollars more than the phone estimate, service was very prompt, the technician knowledgeable, quick, very pleasant and answered all of my questions before and after the repair. I wouldn't hesitate to call NSHEC again should another issue arise in the future."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Exeter, NH

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.
