"We bought a home that unfortunately had 2 units over 20 years old. We received a letter and coupon from Service Star for annual maintenance (addressed to previous owner). We had not been having any issues with our AC but thought maintenance was pretty important, especially with summer coming. Louis came out on Tuesday, April 28th and did a thorough inspection of our units. He was very friendly, engaging and we felt confident and convinced that he was quite knowledgeable in this field. Turns out there were big issues with our unit including the huge mold issue, coil issue, fire hazard issues, etc. (yikes!). Our units were working pretty hard and getting pretty hot and there was zero efficiency going on. Basically, the life of our units had come to an end. We opted to replace the units and he gave us a pretty good deal which included upgrading the digital thermostats (pretty awesome!). My husband is a vet so there was a nice discount I appreciated how he explained everything to us and outlined what replacing the units entailed. We were pleasantly surprised that they had the units available and could start the work that day! There was a two-person crew that came in around 3:30 and was completely done and cleaned up by 10:30 pm. No small project. They were professional, competent and worked diligently to completion. We were quite impressed and what a big difference in the quality of air! We can say enough good things about Service Star, we definitely recommend them for all HVAC needs. GREAT job Service Star. Triple-A rating!!"

"Thomas answered my search for help promptly and made a service visit to access the problem. He returned Sunday morning and repaired the A/C problem. Within an hour of the repair, we were comfortable with the reduced levels of heat and humidity. We sought help from other companies but experienced scheduling problems with them."

"Leading Air and Heat is fantastic! They are very fast, efficient and HONEST! My ceiling had a crack in it and come to find out, it was a condensation problem with some of the A/C duct work. The cover on the insulation was torn up and It had caused the insulation to absorb water, which put pressure on the ceiling causing the crack. I found this out because I had a company out to repair the crack in the ceiling and smooth out my ceiling. When they pulled down the part of the ceiling that was cracked, they discovered soaking wet insulation. I had gotten an estimate from another company. The other company told me I needed to replace ALL of the duct work. He said it was all in terrible condition. I received an estimate for $5,200.00! He deducted the $79 I had paid the evening before when they had sent someone out who couldn’t even get up in the crawl space, so the actual quote was for $4,923. That $79 was for a “service call”. Since I had already looked up replacing the existing duct work to see what I should expect to pay, this estimate was more in line with a brand new initial install of duct work for a brand new system, not just replacing existing ducts. It was more than double the price I had anticipated, and I was figuring high. I went on Angi right away so I could get a second opinion. Leading Air and Heat contacted me right away. Michael, who is the owner, came out within an hour or so after that initial contact. He climbed up in the crawl space and took a quick look around. He said everything looked pretty good except for the area at issue. He didn’t charge me to come out and my estimate was far less than 10% of what the other company tried to charge me. The repair was done the very next morning by Richie. He was on time and very efficient. He’s super respectful and nice as well! I asked him if he could take another look around to see if there are any others we should take care of soon and he did find one other duct that probably should be replaced since there are some tears in it. It’s not quite as bad as the one that I had repaired and is not leaking or anything, but it would be a good idea to replace it before there is any trouble with it. He took pictures of it and I will be sent an estimate on that one so it can be repaired before it causes damage like the first one did. I highly recommend Leading Air and Heat. They do great work quickly and are honest, which is extremely important, especially these days. I will be calling them for all of my air and heat needs going forward."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Melbourne, FL

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.
