"Streamline Services is my go to place for plumbing and hvac repairs. I always have fantastic and speedy service. My last service call was truly exceptional and worth taking the time to review. I knew I needed my water heater replaced, and also a repair to my air conditioning system. I didn't feel pressured, and the technician answered every question I had, and I did not feel rushed into any decision. From the first phone call, to the time of install, I received nothing but great customer service. I won't call anyone else."

"I highly recommend Apex-based "A. Maynor Heating & A/C", who replaced my furnace and the entire central air conditioning system (outside condenser unit, inside evaporator coil, and new refrigerant lines) on 7-17-2020 at my Cary house. I also had them install the new outside condenser unit on the opposite side of the house (where it's in the shade, able to operate more effectively) compared to where the original condenser was (in the direct sun). All of their personnel were very competent, polite, prompt, and a pleasure to interact with, from Christy & Tammy in the office, to Carlos & Louis who performed the initial inspection & diagnosis of the original system that had failed, to Norm who performed the house "load calculation", recommended the appropriate new system, and who (since he's a licensed electrician) modified the wiring at the electrical panel as needed for the new condenser location, to Ramon & Christian who performed the new installation, and to Robert who performed the post-installation check and installed a new condensate pump."

"Before the service visit the dispatcher had asked for the make and model of my refrigerator so they <br /> would be sure to have any parts needed.  The technician arrived on time and was very neat with his work. <br /> He took everything out of my freezer, placed the items in a plastic tub I provided.  He removed the liner of the freezer compartment and then defrosted and vacuumed out the drain. He added a heater to keep it from freezing up.  It took less than an hour for the work and he put everything back in place as well as adding a screw that he noticed was missing from the freezer.  I was very pleased and impressed with the work as well as the price.  I wish I'd gotten in touch with them earlier.  <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Crabtree service great, I had scheduled a visit as soon as they had one available because my home ac wasn t working. Bobby came out that afternoon, two days ahead of the scheduled service. I was Stunned. Bobby was pleasant and knowledgeable about my older trane unit.Checked it with his equipment, repaired it, and had it working in no time. Charges were quite reasonable compared to others I had service it in the past. He explained about there service plans and how I would get discounts and routine appointments. If I signed up including today s charges. I took there two year maintenance plan. Overall one of the best deals I have seen in a while. I came away feeling this company really cared."

"TLDR: I’m very satisfied! I was in the market for a new HVAC system, so I started doing my research. I knew I wanted to spend a little more for a quality system, but the contractor installing and servicing it was more important. Someone can have the best system there is but if it’s not installed correctly there’s going to be problems. I got a few quotes from other contractors and all they did was look at my equipment briefly and give me the quote. Jordan P from Carolina Comfort Air came to my home and conducted an extensive calculation of my HVAC requirements that considered so many variables I lost count. He also noted that my duct work had been poorly installed, was the wrong size in certain spots, and would be inadequate for a new system. Jordan spent several hours at my home explaining everything to my wife and I, answering all our questions, and I felt confident this was the contractor for me. Some would consider the system I purchased to be expensive, but I wanted to ensure I was getting quality equipment and it would be properly installed to provide decades of problem-free performance. Plus, they offer a pretty sweet financing program and a stellar warranty. So I pulled the trigger and went with a full Trane system and to have my duct work fixed/upgraded. Jordan quickly had the job scheduled for the beginning of the following week. It was a very smooth process. When Rodolfo G promptly arrived the morning of the job start day, I could tell this was going to be a professional operation. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and was more than happy to answer all my questions. His assistants Dean T, Brian S, Jeremy F and the electrician Jerry H were equally as professional in their demeanor and job performance. It was very hot both days and even hotter up in the attic, but these men busted their a**** to ensure I got the best service. Rodolfo made it a point to keep me informed on the progress of the install and briefed me before departing each day. Jordan A and Jordan P also stopped by at separate times to check on the progress and were kind enough to answer a few other questions I had. My wife and I were very impressed with how well everything went. Once the team had finished the install, Rodolfo gave me a few final notes on what they had done, showed me how to use my new Trane Smart Thermostats, answered a few more questions and they departed. I’m definitely a stickler for detail so I climbed up in the attic to see how it compared to what was up there before. I was blown away! The level of detail and quality of work was night and day better compared to the old system. The Trane air handler looks perfectly installed, all the way down to tape-labels to identify what each wire does, and the duct work was definitely overhauled and upgraded. Even my wife, who doesn’t know anything about HVAC stuff, said “WOW that looks awesome!” when she poked her head up there. And to top it off, the whole area was very clean. No leftover parts or trash from the previous system or from the installation of the new system. I could tell they took care in cleaning up after they were finished. Most folks who have had HVAC work done and actually look in their attic afterwards know this is uncommon. The outside heat pump unit was also professionally installed. Rodolfo replaced the old pad that the unit sits on and took the time to level-out the ground underneath to ensure everything was flat. The wiring and coolant piping installation looks very professional too and I can tell Rodolfo is a true master of his craft. Overall this was a very pleasurable experience. The whole team made everything very easy. I’m very happy with Carolina Comfort Air as a contractor and the quality of products and services they provide. I will be signing up for their maintenance program to ensure my equipment stays in good working order and provides me with many years of worry-free cooling and heating. I highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for HVAC services."

"On a Friday evening our upstairs air conditioning unit suddenly stopped working. Gand M sent a service technician to our home within an hour of my call to their answering service. The technician, Greg Stephens, was knowledgeable and professional and immediately diagnosed the problem which happened to be the result of a mistake made by our previous HVAC company. I can't compliment Gand M enough for their fast response, quick diagnosis and reasonable price for an after hours visit. After dealing with a couple of other HVAC companies it was a pleasure to deal with Gand M. <br />"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
