"Exceedingly STELLAR work; BEYOND professional decorum elicited by the company’s OWNER AND staff MEMBERS (specifically the technicians that performed the installation). Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this company to neighbors, family, friends, coworkers & even strangers in our community that may be in need of any HVAC or others services for their homes and/or businesses. Financially, they were on par with our anticipated costs for the work we needed done. FAST, QUALITY WORK that we’d NEVER hesitate calling on again for any future needs that this EXCEPTIONAL, ‘5-star worthy’ company provides! Thank you especially to Ron, Carlos and Brandan… we truly enjoyed meeting you and the pleasure of your company while you worked diligently in our home was all ours. Perhaps this review seems “over the top”or contrived, but we truly wanted to reward this company properly with a review that sufficiently and congruently matched their “talk with the walk” behavior. As you (a co-consumer) know there are so few these days that that elicit good, old- fashioned business ethics. We want you to know this was honestly a job TRULY well done!"

"Bill and his assistant were very nice, friendly, experienced and professional. I was very happy that Bill contacted me within less than half hour of my submitting an inquire through home advisor, and I also like he confirmed his work before leaving and explained the problem of system during the work. This is the kind of customer service that will make me use him for all future plumbing work. Highly recommended."

"After another vendor recommended major repairs to a central AC system, so I called Parker Heating and Cooling to get another quote. Although I did not ask for a diagnosis, Jeremy inspected the system and discovered an overlooked minor problem, which he took care of. His diligence and honesty saved us thousands of dollars! Jeremy was very responsive and easy to deal with and checked back to make sure the problem was resolved. These days "five stars" has diminished in meaning, but this truly was excellent service!"

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

"It's a rare thing when you find any contractor who is both an expert at their craft AND honest! When initially calling on Lloyd for help with my failing central air system, I was skeptical about all the 5 stars reviews. However, I quickly learn that the reviews were spot on. I plan retaining Lloyd's services for all my future HVAC needs."

"The servicemen were exceptionally polite, knowledgeable and professional. They diagnosed a long standing problem that other plumbers did not and fixed it right then and there. I thought the price for putting in the new vent on the pump was great ($475). $200 for cleaning out the shower drain (full of hair visible to the eye after they popped the cover to show me) was a little high. But I would definitely hire again if needed. Thank you!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Old Lyme, CT

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.
