"FS Plumbingâ s owner Greg responded quickly to our plumbing emergency. He proactively called local and state authorities to have the property marked out so that underground utilities were located. Greg took the time to explain what it would take to repair the problem and addressed our concerns. Shortly thereafter,Greg provided a reasonable estimate with no hidden fees. He called me on the weekend to see how things were going and gave me his cell number and said to call if I had any questions. The time and effort to arrange the mark outs would have benefited any of the contractors bidding for the job. The thing that impressed us was he had done all of the above and we had not yet hired him. Greg knew time matter and the inconvenience we were facing. He understood the importance of home and family. In business, FS Plumbing is a rarity. Greg and his crew were professional and trustworthy and it was obvious that they took pride in their work. We are grateful to have used HomeAdviser because it connected us to FS Plumbing Heating & General Contracting Corp. I strongly recommend Greg and his corporation for your plumbing and contraction needs. Thank you Greg!"

"After 33 years of solid service, our central air conditioning system failed on one of the hottest nights of the summer. After spending two hot, sticky days in an extremely warm home, we scheduled appointments with several local HVAC installers to see what options they might offer us for a new system. Happily, one of the companies we found through Internet research and ratings on Angie's List and HomeAdvisor was Air Experts. One of their salesmen, Kevin, was at our house the same morning I submitted an online request for a consultation, and he presented my husband and me with several affordable options for our older home. After hearing from the other companies I had contacted, we found that proposal Kevin prepared for us was the most thorough and affordable of all we received. As soon as the final consultation ended, we contacted Kevin and told him that we wanted to proceed with Air Express. He was able to send me all the required paperwork for review and signature that night, and amazingly, he had installers at our house the next morning. The installers worked diligently for many hours to remove our old unit and install a new one; and my husband and I slept quite comfortably last night with our new air conditioner running quietly and efficiently. Thank you, Air Experts!"

Bill and Tito arrived promptly and took time to explain what the issue was and made the repair quickly. Fair price too! Later in the evening I received a call from the office, checking in to see if all went well- great customer service!

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Howell, NJ

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.
