"Shawn Thompson did a great job diagnosing our AC issue and repairing it promptly. He is an above-and-beyond the call of duty kind of guy who came out after hours to help us out during a heat wave. I couldnâ t recommend him more highly."

"From start to finish, NETR did a fantastic job. I met 3-4 other vendors, and they didn't come close to NETR's responsiveness, professionalism, or timeliness. NETR earned my business before I even got a quote from some of the others. The salesman, Mark, arrived on time, was respectful & attentive to what we needed, explained our options well, and provided a competitive quote before he left my home. NETR also offered a 5-year 0% interest loan for the project (via a relationship with GreenSky). It took only a few days to schedule installation. The installers were prompt, professional, respectful of our property, and did an excellent job installing the electrical components, compressor, branch box, and 5 heads. They did a nice job of consolidating and hiding the lines on the outside of the house. This past year, we've worked with many contractors, some good, some terrible, so I can compare. NETR was one of the best, and I would hire them for my next project in a heartbeat. "

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Needham, 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.
