I noticed in our mail thing that we are due for service on our system to keep our warranty up; to do so we are actually going to do a maintenance contract with them  it is about $96 yearly, but they come out and do inspections and everything. The owner is the one who came out and gave us a quote. We had them replace another system which was nor working correctly so the first the thing they did was send someone to inspect the old system to see what were the problems. They fixed it on the spot for free and did not even charge us to come out. They were very nice, courteous and stayed in contact with us the entire time. They were very nice, professional and they got the job done in an efficient manner. They did not charge us an insane amount of money for it. We had a name brand system. It was a well worth investment to have it done right.

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"So after the crawl was all done, they sent an inspector.  The inspector pulled apart some plastic and found old plastic.  I didn't realize they did that and went down and found the rip.  I was very upset.  But they knew about it already and planned to come redo the work and remove the old plastic as promised.  I inspected a lot of the crawl and didn't find any more attempts to conceal trash or old plastic.  Keep in mind with any contractor regardless of angies list reviews you have to research the project, understand what is supposed to be done and observe throughout the process.  Sorry but its the reality.
Unfortunately, crawlspace encapsulation doesn't work very well, at least not in my old house.  My hygrometer sensor shows humidity as high as 80% especially during these rainy, high humidity summer days.  Short of another huge investment in a commercial grade dehumidifier, your crawl will still be humid.  When it is colder outside then inside my crawl, I open the crawl door to let the moisture out which helps and place chicken wire and screen to keep out animals. 
On the plus side your crawl will be colder/warmer depending on the season.  Mold/bacteria/mildew also need warmth to grow well, I am an operating room nurse and microbiology is important to us in the OR.  We keep the OR between 68-72 degrees F for this reason and ideally 30-60% humidity.  I try to keep the crawl at 68 and below to discourage microbial growth.  It also discourages insect life which is a positive, I rarely see spider crickets which used to be everywhere before the encapsulation.
Overall I am glad I did it for the temperature control.  It also has modestly reduced my HVAC use as heat rises through the floor and into my home.  A colder crawl in the summer helps prevent that.

"Chris told me exactly how it would go and that it would take about 4 hours. Well he and his co-worker finished in about 2-1/2 hours, cleaned-up and hauled all boxes and old equipment off. Very professional, knowledgeable in a lot of different areas, and punctual (shows-up on-time or calls to explain why he can't be there i.e. weather). I would definitely hire this service(s) again."

"I live way out in the sticks (40-50 minute drive) so it was great that they service homes that far out. Called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way and showed up on time. He even took his shoes off out of concern for my carpet! He was very knowledgeable, took the time to answer my questions and explain what I did or did not need. Didn't try to "get over on me" or sell me something I didn't need. I would definitely recommend them and use their services again myself."

"I had purchased a big deal for the service, and it turned out terrific. They were good. They were prompt. They were very clean, they cleaned up after themselves, and they were great about accommodating my schedules, because it is hard to find time."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Radford, VA

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.
