"I called just minutes before 10pm and expected to be told I'd have to wait until morning for a plumbing issue. Instead Jake showed up happy, polite and willing to find and solve our issue with in 35 to 40 min. Let me tell you Jake worked on our house for 2 hours solid, determined to fix our problem. Jerry showed up after Jake had been diligently trying everything to offer an extra hand. Both Jerry and Jake then worked an additional hour before finding and fixing our issue. Let me tell you, it was now very close to 2am!!!!!! This customer service, dedication and hard work was appreciated so much! I cannot say enough good things about Jake, Jerry or this company. Very honest, hard working people. Its hard to find this type of buisness nowdays!!!!! If i ever have another issue I will only call and use Liberty Plumbing and Heating.

"I obtained several quotes for replacing or repairing an old furnace and a/c condenser unit.  Each provider had a slightly different opinion on how much of the system should be replaced and what capacity unit should be used. Carini's prices were in line with other providers, but Kurt, who gave the estimate, seems the most knowledgable.  He did appropriate follow up after the install.  Would use them again. "

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"I researched and obtain estimates from 4 different companies to install new central AC units in our house. We chose Cano Heating and Air because Javier, the owner provided a very detailed assessments and work plan. The other companies talked straight about the cost and didn’t even bother to look at the furnaces. He explained everything and even drew some of the work and parts that need to be done in the attic to ensure that we won’t have any future issues later. He also provided the most affordable package with high quality equipment. I also like the fact that’s it’s a family-owned business. His two sons are the technicians who installed the units and are very professional. They also got the job done sooner than expected. They explained everything that they were doing and what to expect. The units are really quiet and gave us all the required information for the warranty registration. They also helped us set up the thermostat controls in our cellphone so we can control them anytime and anywhere. They covered our floors and stairs to ensure there will be no mess and damage that will happen while transporting the equipment and supplies and while going in and out of the house. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would highly encourage you to consider them if you need any heating or cooling services. They are the best!"

"Bob was very responsive called back within a few minutes of me leaving voice mail. He was able to schedule a tech to fix our leak, before another plumber returned my call. Bob was concerned that our attic crawl was tight and his tech that day was a big guy, so when the other plumber said they had a little guy, I asked Bob if he'd prefer to do the job or let the other plumber do it. Bob was gracious and said it might be better for the other guy to do it. The other folks came and did a fine job. I would not hesitate to hire Personal Plumbing for any other job."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in La Jolla, CA

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.
