"Our AC unit failed in early summer 2017 and I called them for repair. The age of our old unit and cost of the repair and Freon made replacement the best option. They had a unit available and installed it in a couple of days. I was happy with the quality of their work, they cleaned up afterwards and were friendly during the entire process. Recently they called and offered a service call to check for proper operation, and to clean the unit. Again the service tech was professional and left the work area cleaner then he found it."

"Eric and Josue came out the same day to diagnose the my central AC. They explained what had failed, what needed to be done and how much the repair would cost. A couplle of parts were necessary and Josue rea[laced the parts and cleaned the outdoor unit. He took pictures of the unit and the parts replaced. AC works great! Josue and Eric are very professional. THey even watched out for the house cats so the cats wouldn't get outside. Repairs completed at the price quoted. I am very impressed with Service All-Stars and its employees."

"Excellent diagnosis and prompt service and repair from Southland Heating & Air’s technician Albert Mendoza. Albert successfully resuscitated our LG mini-split inverter by identifying the problem with the unit which called for replacing worn-out sensors. Thanks Southland & Albert!"
This is the outdoor unit that offers 17 SEER Hyper efficiency and super quiet operation of 54db's compared to 80 plus on older units

"One of the best experiences I have ever had with a service tech. He was polite and friendly. He explained everything in ways I could understand. He pointed out things that needed to be fixed, but he did not try to force me to fix them right now. I will use him again when we have a problem with our AC."

"My central air went out at the worst possible (heatwave) time and all technicians (including Michael) were overwhelmed with work. Still, he was able to swing by to take a look early the next morning, order the part and I was up and running almost immediately. Whew! I was entirely at his mercy (price-wise) as everyone was desperate for technicians and I would have paid double anyway just because he came so quickly while I was melting. But he is too nice a guy! His sense of fairness matches his professionalism and I found what he charged to be very reasonable under any circumstances, let alone desperate ones. He is the kind of super nice guy you like having in your home. The kind of guy I actually like to pay rather than some schmuck I found them online."

"Igor came to look at my a/c. He discovered that it was most likely a warranty issue, so he told me to call the manufacturer and have the work done through a warranty claim to save me money. He didn't even charge me for the visit. Thanks so much! Will definitely use them in the future for non-warranty related issues!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Pacific Palisades, CA

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.
