"Eddie was very friendly and informative. He actually showed up 2 days earlier than planned. He was very honest and explained why my ac did not seem to be cooling, he did not try to do unnecessary repairs. He also answered a ton of questions I had that were not even related to the issue he was here for!! I would definitely recommend his company to anyone that needs service. He was a pleasure to have at my home and deserves a 10 â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ review!!! Diana and Steve Dawson"

"The team of 3 arrived as promised! They set up the work station by spreading cover on the floor to protect my tiles. That was very satisfying to me. They were actually busy working diligently throughout the day. They provided 3 space heaters for my use if I needed. I was informed of what was going on that needed my attention. The end product seemed very good although it is too early to judge its quality. This review would have been rated with 5 stars, but I have concerns in some areas. First, the height of the exhaust pipe was shorter than I had expected. Their reasoning for not raising the exhaust pipe is not accurate. They claimed my windows were in the way. There is a clear pathway to place the the pipe if they had wanted. I’m still concerned about the exhaust fumes entering my living room if the window is open. I was told quality inspection would be performed, that has not happened yet. I hope it happens! Second, the thermostat wiring on the second floor or zone 3 does not have common wire C. The bypass that was installed in the Teco relay system didn’t work. It worked briefly for short time and then stopped. When I contacted the sales agent, he referred me to the office to explain my issue. I thought he was going to take me out of the loop as most customer satisfaction oriented company would have done. I complied and the customer service office referred me back to the same person! When the he got back to me, it was more in defense than empathy. He tried erroneously to cast the blame on my supplied thermostat, which was not involved. Eventually, he sent someone who was able to fix the problem. Third, the sales agent didn’t provide the most critical info on the contract form, the AHRI number. This number is needed for MassSave loan application. He provided it later. So far, the Lennox hot water and boiler combi and my 3 google nest learning thermostats are working very well. Even with the stated issues, I would definitely recommend ARS Rescue Rooter for providing a good product at a fair price. This company has the potential to leap frog competition to become the leader provider in this industry. If only it implements hassle free procedures for its customers."

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