"Brian and his crew did a great job servicing the 2 A/C units and swamp cooler. He is very thorough. During the service of one of the A/C units he discovered the fan motor was over amping. He removed and replaced the fan unit all under warranty. The poor air flow problem in two of the rooms was somewhat of a mystery. After all other avenues were exhausted an access hole had to be cut into the ceiling (no attic access is available) to expose the ducting. It turns out that a piece of the insulation in the sheet metal duct work had been poorly installed when the house was built (not Brian) and had fallen away blocking the ducting to the rooms with the poor air flow. Mystery solved. Brain left no stone unturned in the resolution of this problem. The attic where the ducting is located is extremely small and it was very hot but Brian did not let the conditions deter him from doing an outstanding job. Brian is the only one I will call for any A/C work!"

"We had our tankless water heater drained - annual maintenance. They show up when they say they will and do it right the first time. In the past we've had issues with AC's, plumbing and more. Evey time they've exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend them for any heating, AC or plumbing. We've used them for well over 20 years and wouldn't want anyone else. They are the best."

"I’ve had so many AC technicians through my house, and I have to say, Carlos Cetz is the best technician I’ver ever had. I’ve had him four times now, and he has solved all my problems no matter how complex, weird, or alarming. Carlos is always so calm, observant, and very, very knowledgeable. The first problem was when I had a lot of water coming out the side of my house. Carlos knew what the problem was and went to my attic. There he saw the drain wasn’t draining. He was able to drain it and found that cement, insulation, and dirt was stopping up the drain. This must have been from the time my house was built. The second problem was a problem I had called many times for and no amount of technicians could figure it out. They would say it was the door rattling, the motor was dirty, or another excuse. But Carlos did a thorough inspection and found one motor needed replacing. When I told him the noise was only on the upstairs unit, he inspected it well and said everything was in working condition. Carlos went out of his way to inspect the room where the noise was coming from. He found it was from one of my light fixtures in my study room that was making the noise due to the vibration. Sure enough he was correct. He tried getting the loose screw out, but it was too deep. I need to call an electrician for this problem, but I am so relieved. This noise was bothering me for a year and a half. I kept hearing it day and night and kept thinking something was going to break in my attic, but now I don’t have to worry about that. Carlos finally solved this annoying mystery, and I am just so grateful! The third problem was a rancid smell coming from my air conditioner vent. Due to my asthma and on-going fires around me, I had the fan going on all day and night and the air conditioner going on and off throughout the day. Carlos was able to explain how the condensation around the air conditioners work and why this situation was happening. Immediately we knew that that’s what happened. Even when I had a hard time understanding the mechanics, Carlos illustrated it so well. Carlos is so smart and a great communicator. He has a presence about him. Whenever I see him, I know my house is in good hands. He always uses a shoe cover when coming into my house, pets my barking dog so she isn’t scared anymore, covers my clothes with sheets, cleans the insulation that fell from the attic, and explains clearing what he did to solve the issue. The fourth problem was with the motor that was used to blow more air to the room farthest away and over the garage. The room gets so hot during the summer and cold during the winter. The motor kept failing to blow. Then Carlos had a creative and brilliant idea to connect it directly to the A/C and heater directly. Sorry this is so long, but this survey is way overdue and covers 4 different services. To sum up, Carlos is the best technician I have ever met. Thank you On-time Air for having caring and knowledgeable technicians like Carlos."

"I would like to take a moment to commend Ricky Aroz, Blair Heating and Air, for his outstanding customer service. On March 31, 2017, I required a replacement air conditioning unit.  I had just lost my husband and was under incredible stress.  Ricky Oroz not only professionally replaced the air conditioning unit, but his excellent customer service and compassion put me at great ease.  If I could, I would give him 10 out of 5 Stars for his customer service.  Ask for Ricky Oroz at Blair Heating and Air if you ever need an air conditioning professional. Thanks again Ricky! Sincerely, Darlene Lacy"

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