"We bought a home that unfortunately had 2 units over 20 years old. We received a letter and coupon from Service Star for annual maintenance (addressed to previous owner). We had not been having any issues with our AC but thought maintenance was pretty important, especially with summer coming. Louis came out on Tuesday, April 28th and did a thorough inspection of our units. He was very friendly, engaging and we felt confident and convinced that he was quite knowledgeable in this field. Turns out there were big issues with our unit including the huge mold issue, coil issue, fire hazard issues, etc. (yikes!). Our units were working pretty hard and getting pretty hot and there was zero efficiency going on. Basically, the life of our units had come to an end. We opted to replace the units and he gave us a pretty good deal which included upgrading the digital thermostats (pretty awesome!). My husband is a vet so there was a nice discount I appreciated how he explained everything to us and outlined what replacing the units entailed. We were pleasantly surprised that they had the units available and could start the work that day! There was a two-person crew that came in around 3:30 and was completely done and cleaned up by 10:30 pm. No small project. They were professional, competent and worked diligently to completion. We were quite impressed and what a big difference in the quality of air! We can say enough good things about Service Star, we definitely recommend them for all HVAC needs. GREAT job Service Star. Triple-A rating!!"

"Thomas answered my search for help promptly and made a service visit to access the problem. He returned Sunday morning and repaired the A/C problem. Within an hour of the repair, we were comfortable with the reduced levels of heat and humidity. We sought help from other companies but experienced scheduling problems with them."

"Malcolm was extremely knowledgeable and efficient in diagnosing the issues with my older system and once we determined the best course of action was a new system he was able to get me a great price and quick install. Tanner surprised me with a full vent box rebuild which is well insulated and looks great. I am extremely pleased with the outstanding service from Climate Experts and will be sure to refer them to anyone needing AC service or system replacement."

"I had a great experience with Robert, the owner of the AC repair company. He’s not only very knowledgeable but also honest and patient. What stood out most to me was how clearly he explained everything—step by step—in simple language I could actually understand. He also took the time to give me tips on what to watch for so I can catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Robert is also very careful about the parts he uses—he makes sure anything he replaces is a quality brand that will last. That level of care and integrity is rare these days. I highly recommend him to anyone needing AC service!"

"Leading Air and Heat is fantastic! They are very fast, efficient and HONEST! My ceiling had a crack in it and come to find out, it was a condensation problem with some of the A/C duct work. The cover on the insulation was torn up and It had caused the insulation to absorb water, which put pressure on the ceiling causing the crack. I found this out because I had a company out to repair the crack in the ceiling and smooth out my ceiling. When they pulled down the part of the ceiling that was cracked, they discovered soaking wet insulation. I had gotten an estimate from another company. The other company told me I needed to replace ALL of the duct work. He said it was all in terrible condition. I received an estimate for $5,200.00! He deducted the $79 I had paid the evening before when they had sent someone out who couldn’t even get up in the crawl space, so the actual quote was for $4,923. That $79 was for a “service call”. Since I had already looked up replacing the existing duct work to see what I should expect to pay, this estimate was more in line with a brand new initial install of duct work for a brand new system, not just replacing existing ducts. It was more than double the price I had anticipated, and I was figuring high. I went on Angi right away so I could get a second opinion. Leading Air and Heat contacted me right away. Michael, who is the owner, came out within an hour or so after that initial contact. He climbed up in the crawl space and took a quick look around. He said everything looked pretty good except for the area at issue. He didn’t charge me to come out and my estimate was far less than 10% of what the other company tried to charge me. The repair was done the very next morning by Richie. He was on time and very efficient. He’s super respectful and nice as well! I asked him if he could take another look around to see if there are any others we should take care of soon and he did find one other duct that probably should be replaced since there are some tears in it. It’s not quite as bad as the one that I had repaired and is not leaking or anything, but it would be a good idea to replace it before there is any trouble with it. He took pictures of it and I will be sent an estimate on that one so it can be repaired before it causes damage like the first one did. I highly recommend Leading Air and Heat. They do great work quickly and are honest, which is extremely important, especially these days. I will be calling them for all of my air and heat needs going forward."

"Kris is Amazing! He came over and fixed AC that others deemed, done. Kris came on the same day and spent considerable amount of time to diagnose, step by step, until he found true causes. He got a missing part within an hour, and came back to finish the repair. Our system was back up and running soon thereafter. He made sure all the levels had perfect readings - pressure, cooling temp etc. Kris is very skillful, knowledgeable, honest, hardworking, and he is curious about the true case of the issues. What makes Kris and his company stand out amongst other AC contractors is that he actually enjoys fixing things and trying to find out the true case of the problem and he gets the job done! He is polite, punctual, very pleasant, intelligent, kind, humble and compassionate. He provides you with the best solution for the repair estimate and advice, and, if by any chance, your parts are not available due to not being in stock or your system is old and being phased out he will try very hard to make sure you have options to get your home comfortable. He gives you an estimate for new system (if you are interested) if all other options to get your AC running fail. There are no sales tactics. If you are in a situation where your system failed and you are on a budget, or new system is not an option due to financial issues you need to contact him as he will find the best solution for you. If you are already considering another contractor I strongly suggest to call Kris for a second opinion. You will save yourself a lot of problems as he will honestly tell you what is going on with your system. Beware of contractors with many positive reviews. Not all of them are what you hope to get. Many consider keeping their ratings at the high levels the top priority and will do anything to achieve that. Remember that when hiring those with high number of positive reviews. Often their service prices are double of the average, techs are rushing through jobs. This also matters if you choose to have a new system installed as you must consider service rates for your maintenance or repair costs. Another reason to contact Kris is if you need a new system. Remember, you dont have to pay 10k - 15+k per average size system. He will provide you with different options, for different budgets. His company offers financing. I honestly wish I had met Kris many years ago. A lot of problems can be prevented if you choose a right company. Moore's Air and Heat is a right choice. Many talk about integrity. Kris doesnt talk about it, he has it."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Palm Bay, FL

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.
