"The outstanding AC repair service provided. From the initial consultation to the final repair, every step of the process was handled with professionalism and expertise. Not only did your technicians quickly diagnose and address the issue with my air conditioning unit, but they also took the time to explain the problem and the solutions in a clear and understandable manner. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a job well done truly impressed me. Thanks to your team's efforts, my home is now cool and comfortable again, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to friends and family in need of AC repair. Once again, thank you for going above and beyond in delivering exceptional service."

"Update April 7, 2022 - Another flawless incident of excellent service. Part of our HVAC is an important electronic filtering system we bought 12 years ago when they installed our system. My wife experienced respiratory distress at the same time we noted a "green light" went out on the filter. Specialized Heating & Cooling responded on the weekend to diagnose, set up repair, and clean the system sufficiently to ease her distress. The necessary part was ordered and installed. . Hayden (emergency tech) and Justin (go-to tech expert) were their usual astonishing selves during the process. Sarah Streeter has excellent hiring standards and developmental skills. Her people are TOP NOTCH."

"I had a great experience working with John Sandu, President of Absolute Temp Control. If you need your furnace repaired, and aren't sure who to trust, don't worry, this man is exactly the kind of person you want. Yesterday my furnace stopped working. I called him this morning, explained that yesterday I smelled something that smelled like burning coming from the furnace outlets, and then it stopped entirely. I thought the motor was fried or something serious had happened and I was in for an expensive repair. He managed to work me in today, and he came out, took a look, found a fried capacitor, repaired it in 10 minutes, and was on his way. It was a very inexpensive repair - no games from this guy. I have had bad experiences with others in this business, and I had to make several calls before I decided to go with Absolute Temp Control. I am so glad I did, and next time I need help w Furnace or A/C, there is only one number I am sure I can call for a fast, fair, quality repair. I absolutely recommend John Sandu."

"Dave from Columbia came to my place in Portland from Scappoose on a same-day appt, for what I thought was a dead furnace. (I had tons of smoke flow into the home after furnace turned on.) Rather than just presuming the furnace was dead or even the problem, Dave poked around. He discovered the smoke was from the fireplace/chimey and the furnace turning on had pulled air from the chimney, reignited a smoldering log, and then filled the house with smoke. The problem was with the chimney all along, but Dave/Columbia did not charge me anything for the trip to Portland---or for diagnosing the problem---even when I called later to offer. Great service, great customer relations, great knowledge of how air moves through homes."

"I can not say enough about the team at Revival Energy! I have been working with them for 4 years now on my 90 yr old Portland home. Ben was my introduction to their work with an energy assessment. I wanted to seal up all the drafty areas of my home and install central A/C. During the assessment, Ben quickly identified that my furnace was producing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. I really liked his statement, “if this were a public building, it would be condemned.” In their busy season of November, they put me as a priority and installed a new furnace in under 2 weeks. While I don’t recommend this approach to get your furnace quickly, they recognized that I would have no heat and did their best to help me. I then installed A/C the next year. They did a very smooth install of a very efficient central A/C (Rheem prestige). With further house work, we had to move the A/C. This seemed simple to me, but I didn’t realize it would take them almost 8 hours. That refrigerant removal and refill is a slow process, by necessity! A few weeks after the move, I just didn’t feel like the A/C was working well enough (and in the hottest part of the year no less!). Their office staff and specifically the co-owner, Jim Ballman, fielded multiple, multiple phone calls and emails. Robert, their lead service tech and co-owner, came to my house to check it out. Luckily, the Rheem Prestige has a panel that reports error codes. I’m so happy I had this model installed, thanks to Ben! Refrigerant was low and rapidly addressed by Robert. As he got the refrigerant filled, Robert patiently answered all my sniggling questions. He was very gracious, and a very sharp fellow. I am so thankful for their patience, hard work and expertise in their field. It is very hard to find a quality company like this. Please treat them well, they deserve it!!! Thanks so much to Jim, Robert, Ben and all the office staff."

"Our heat pump failed. The company that I have been using for AC servicing was not able to repair my heat pump in a timely manor, claiming they were waiting for a part. After enduring several weeks of hot weather in desperation I called Oregon Heating and Air Conditioning. Their bid was much lower and the repair was completed just in time before several !00 degree days were approaching. I wish to thank Clint for doing an excellent job of answering my questions and Sergio most of all for braving the heat of the day and working very hard to get the heat pump going. My wife and I are 75 and enduring heat is not as easy as when we were younger. Both Clint and Sergio are heroes for bringing much needed comfort to me and my wire. Thank you so much."

"We were very appreciative of D&W offer of service on December 30th right before a holiday and next day service after we called several businesses which could not offer any service for a week or a month! Professional diagnosis clearly laid out options for the repair and the plumber was able to discuss them and answer questions. Clean, careful work, punctual and polite. Recommend this company for being client-oriented, responsive to our crisis and their rapid availability."

"Of course, your furnace decides to not work on the weekend! Finding repair service on a Sunday? Not highly likely! We were thrilled to find Bryan, and having him come to repair our furnace today was greatly appreciated. He was knowledgeable, courteous, efficient and extremely competent. We could not have been more satisfied. This is a small family businessâ ¦..please support them!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Portland, OR

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.
