"I am very thankful that I found DG Mechanical on Home Advisor. After getting a few estimates from big name companies for getting central air conditioning installed in our home with existing ductwork I was getting exhausted with hearing all the upsell tactics. Derek was straightforward and prompt with all communications and very fairly priced. I felt even better after the work was done and seeing how nice and neat he left everything. While we aren’t using the air conditioner just yet it won’t be long now and we have Derek to thank during the upcoming hot summer days for keeping us cool and comfortable. I highly recommend DG Mechanical for all your HVAC needs."

So, why choose K-Wood, LLC, for your HVAC needs? The reason is we are fanatics about doing the job right. Not only do we choose the best equipment, we choose the best equipment for the job. We will also size the unit to your house. We take into account insulation, windows, and even the positioning of your house relative to the sun. We do this because a poorly sized unit is not good for anyone. If it is an air conditioner and it is too small, it will be running too much. This will increase your power bill and decrease the unit's life. If it is too large, the unit will short cycle (or turn on and off too quickly), which will also decrease the units life span. In the summer this short cycling won't allow for the humidity to be removed properly. The best equipment costs more up front, and a proper installation is not cheap either, but when you pay for both of these up front, you will have fewer problems and save a significant amount of money compared to the cheaper guy.

"This is a great company, Very honest and easy to communicate with, The technician arrived on time and took care of the probably with ease."

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