"I had a new heat pump installed in my condo last year. This company did sloppy prep work which has resulted in thousands of dollars of extra work needing to be done. Last year I needed to replace my old HVAC system. The air conditioner was out and the furnace was from 2001. After seeing the high price on a quote from a different company, I reached out to AnyTemp. When the tech came out they gave me a couple of options, but they really pushed a heat pump. They took around 5k off the price and I was getting an Amana 2.5 ton heat pump for around 10k, a great price. After it was installed the issues began. As soon as the temperature went above 85, we started to see massive condensation on the visible parts of the HVAC system. We called AnyTemp up and they came out. They told us that our air ducts are uninsulated, as is our attic, so the hot air from the attic is creating condensation since the ducts are so cold. With this system the fan speed cannot be varied. Had I put a normal A/C in or a heat pump where the fan speed is variable, condensation would not be a problem. The solution they said was to replace all of the air ducts. I was very unhappy with this. After consulting with other HVAC companies, I realized that while ideally my ductwork would be insulated, I should have known this before installation. They never bothered to inspect the ducts, which is just sloppy practice, especially given I live in an old building. The manager I spoke with was also very condescending and spoke down to me. Any temp did come and insulate the central visible air duct, however this insulation has done nothing. Overall this company did sloppy prep work and refused to take responsibility for their mistakes, instead blaming me, the owner."

"Nick was courteous and nice. More importantly he didn't waist anytime getting the AC to work. He knew what he was doing. Allowed us to ask questions. The best thing about Nick was how nice he was during the on-site call."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Glen Ellyn, 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.
