Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric proudly serves Roanoke and surrounding area, all of Franklin County, and everyone located around Smith Mountain Lake. When our dad Daniel Wisler put our name on his business back in 1986, he committed to doing what was fair and right. He led by example and he taught us to do the same. He taught us to stand up, work hard through adversity; to take responsibility for our mistakes. It’s not easy, but it’s the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives. Wisler’s foundation of beliefs lights our way, from policies we live by to the people we hire.

"Both technicians were efficient, courteous, and took time to explain what they were doing. I would highly recommend Wisler to anyone needing electrical work."

"After years of freezing winters, we signed up for a membership with this company—a decision that changed everything. When Ryan, our HVAC technician, arrived for a routine check, he immediately noticed something wrong. The thermostat read 90 degrees, but the house was 50. For five years, I lived without heat in that house. I called company after company, but no one could fix it. Eventually, I lost hope and convinced myself the old house was beyond repair. Unable to face another winter, I moved to another city. But Ryan didn't give up. He went to the crawlspace and within five minutes found what no one had discovered in five years: the wiring was wrong, and the heating cable had never been plugged in. For the first time ever, warmth flowed through my vents. My home was finally warm. I'm incredibly grateful to this company for employing skilled, dedicated technicians like Ryan. I only wish I'd found them sooner—it would have saved me years of suffering and a move I never wanted to make."

Hello neighbors! I am licensed and insured as a one man operation. I offer many smaller scale, reasonably priced jobs on shrubs, bushes, trees, and branches that would otherwise cost a fortune to remove. If the tree isn't a threat to any structures or power lines I can trim it, drop it, buck it, stack it, and remove it. I also enjoy talking about vegetable gardens if yours needs some support. If I won't do it, I will point you to a trusted professional who can :) Give me a call to see how I can help! Paul

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