"I had Kevin of S&K repair my A/C condenser. He did a thorough check of my system, did the repair, and everything is working fine. It turned out to be a minor repair, and they did not pressure me, or upsell me any services I did not want (really appreciated that!) I would definitely recommend this company to others."

"We own a home-based business which relies heavily on our computers operating efficiently. We have had a service contract with another computer repair business for several years. Recently when we were having problems with our computers, we tried contacting our service contractor multiple times. He never responded. Feeling frustrated, I contacted James at North Alabama Technical Services and explained our situation. He instantly came to our rescue. He "cleaned-up" our computers and took care of all the problems we were experiencing. He went above and beyond to help us in our dire time of need. We would strongly recommend James and his company for computer service needs. We have now retained him on a service contract and are looking forward to working with him in the future."

"Their services straightened up my drain and completely fixed my problem without having to dig up my floor. He used a jet wash high pressure water spray wash that cleaned out the interior drain.  He also sent a camera down the sewer line to check and see the rest of the drain. In addition, he gave me the advice on what to do with the sewer line and I thought that was nice of him to do that."

Hi Tech gave an estimate over the phone and explained what would be included as part of cleaning furnace duct work.  Included in the price was to also clean the dryer vent while they were here.  They cut a hole in the bottom of the furnace, hooked up a large machine and began the duct cleaning.  They went around to each vent and cleaned them.  They also deodorized the vents. They put a cover over the hole in the furnace once they completed the work.

 It took quite awhile and so I spent the time working on the computer while they were here.  It went well and it was obvious that a cleaning was needed due to the amount of dirt extracted.  I noticed an improvement in the smell of the air and generally less dust but there wasn't as much change in the amount of dust in the house as I had hoped there would be. 

All in all I was content with the job even though the cost seemed rather high.  A former employee of theirs referred me to them and so I felt I could trust them. 

However, 3 months later when my dryer needed service, the technician told me that my dryer vent was clogged and not enough air was getting sucked out the dryer vent because it had not been cleaned in a long time.  He explained that the vent goes up into the attic and then to the outside.   I called Hi Tech because I didn't remember seeing the Hi Tech technicians go into the attic to clean the dryer vent when they were here as promised but at the time, I didn't think to ask them about it until after they had already left.  Hi Tech said that dryer vent cleaning was not written on my invoice and, therefore, they have no record of promising to clean the vent and so they did not clean it.  They refused to come back and clean the vent unless I paid an additional $140 which was about $20 more than their competitors charge.  I didn't think that was fair so I went with the competitor on the dryer vent cleaning. 

Maybe I should have stood by and watched more closely everything their technicians did.  Maybe I should have double checked the receipt they gave me.  Maybe I should have remembered to ask about the dryer vent cleaning before they left.  Lesson learned but the fact is, we had a verbal agreement over the phone of what would be included and it wasn't done.  I think they should have honored that verbal agreement or at least given me a discount on coming back out to clean the dryer vent.  Since they didn't, I probably won't use them in the future.

"On 7-29-2021 I put a post out on my local FB Community Page. Dan Sizemore with Jacobs Mechanical responded to my post and direct messaged me via FB Messenger. The fan on my external AC unit was not engaging and the temperature in my home had reached a stuffy 81 degrees. My fiancé and I have an eleven month old daughter who is in a Spica cast (essential a body cast from her chest to her toes) so it is critical to keep her cool. We had to camp her out in our basement the night before in her pack and play instead of her bedroom due to the rising temperature and her tendency to sweat. I was unable to call the office to set the appointment because I was on a four hour conference call I couldn't break away from. Using the unconventional methods of scheduling between FB Messenger and work emails Dan was able to coordinate his technician to arrive within minutes of when my conference call ended. Aaron, The Jacobs Mechanical technician showed up, assessed my problem and dove into fixing it. He was extremely thorough, explained what he was doing, showed me why it was failing and once maintenance was completed and he verified everything was functional and back together, left without a trace of ever being at my home. The effort made my Dan and his team to shift their appointments around due to my unique situation and prioritize my request on top of his teams professionalism and cleanliness has made Jacobs Mechanical my preferred HVAC Contractor. Jacobs mechanical epitomizes professionalism, cleanliness, product knowledge and most importantly they show up on time and are eager to get the job done and get you back on track. I would urge anyone who is having any HVAC issues to reach out to Jacobs and speak to Dan."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Independence, KY

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.
