"I can't say enough positive things about this company. My AC was on the blink and the Home Warranty service called a different company to come and fix it. The other company never showed or returned my phone calls. So I took advantage of an Angie's List discount with Sullivan Super Service. They gave me a window of when they would show up and then gave me a 45 minute notice of their arrival. They showed up on time with a clean truck and two professional, well groomed men in clean uniforms. I was impressed before they even started the work. These professionals knew what needed to be done and worked with my home warranty company to repair the AC. They got it done right with no shortcuts. My AC works better than ever and I am a very happy customer. They exceeded ALL my expectations! I highly, yes highly recommend their service!"

"J A Sauer has well-trained, efficient, courteous installers. They communicate well, clean up after the work, take away removed equipment, and offer maintenance advice. We have used Sauer for about four years now and have a Mitsubishi Slim system and a Carrier AC system they installed. Very happy with the work--not the least expensive, I'm sure, but fair for the quality of work and equipment they offer"

"Brickhaas Plumbing was extremely helpful and put up with a lot of questions throughout the process of running a new gas service line for my new house. The owner was very patient with me even when paperwork needed resubmitted to the gas company due to mishandling on their end. I would absolutely recommend Brickhaas to friends and family."

"We have the Reliable Homeworks coverage from Peoples, so I placed a call to their emergency number this morning, Sunday, July 24th, at approximately 10 am. They told me a rep from Wade Heating and Cooling would be giving me a call. At just past Noon I got a call from one of their techs in response to my request for service. He said that he was nearby and would be by my house in approximately a half hour. He did arrive in that time. I had explained to him what had happened when my A/C stopped working. He thought he knew what the issue was before he even got here. As soon as he arrived he got to work. Long story short, he had our A/C up and running in a half hour, by 1:00 pm, an hour after he called me back. Now that's what I call service. Wonderful cool air is coming out of my vents again and cooling my house back down, couldn't be happier. The tech was very professional and friendly, and obviously knew his job well."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
