"I am posting this review to share my personal experience with 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric. Everything below reflects events that occurred in my home and my personal observations and opinions based on those events. My wife and I hired 128 Plumbing for an oil to gas conversion and related heating work, including the installation of a Lochinvar WHB 110 gas boiler. The total financed cost was approximately $25,371 after rebates, with an additional roughly $2,000 for a gas line related to a stove conversion. After the installation, we experienced repeated operational issues with the system. These included multiple boiler lockouts that resulted in periods without heat. When the system was running, temperatures in certain rooms were inconsistent. One bedroom used for sleeping experienced significant temperature fluctuations that made it difficult to maintain consistent comfort. During the course of the work and follow up visits, we also experienced several issues involving d"

"The first HVAC contractor (a national chain) I had in to look at my central A/C diagnosed the air handler's fan blowing backwards as a result of a lightning strike scrambling the circuitry. (I told them about the lightning strike in the interest of full disclosure.) This other contractor said it likely needed a new fan but because of the strike they would not repair it. Instead, they would only replace the entire air handler...to the tune of $5700. We were prepared to suffer through the imminent heat wave and fork over the big bucks, but I wanted to get at least one other quote. I had found B&M on HomeAdvisor and requested an appt for a quote. HomeAdvisor wound up canceling the appt because they hadn't heard back from B&M. I decided to call directly. I talked to Paul M and he said they were so busy and couldn't commit to the HomeAdvisor appt time but that they would squeeze me in. I was expecting only a quote, but they didn't give up and wound up fixing it on the spot. It's been working like a champ through the heat wave, and it only cost me $217. Paul even followed up a few days later to ask how it was performing. I highly recommend B&M."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Milton Village, MA

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.
