"It was a scam. The price was too good to be true. My AC was not working and all I needed was someone to take a look and see what needs to be fixed. The cost quoted was $59. I even scheduled the appt. But once I called them for something, they said the appt process through Angie's list does not work and the $59 is only for changing the filter or something silly like that and I had to upgrade to the $89. But for the $89, the guy did spend time with me explaining what is wrong and if its worth fixing or not. So, why advertise as $59 with bunch of details that you won't even perform?"

"We actually called this company out on the previous Sunday.  We were getting small gas explosions whenever the furnace turned on.  We first called out PG&E, and their field-service person red-tagged the furnace and said that we would have to call out a professional service to deal with the repairs. <br /> The company owner came out promptly on Sunday and inspected our furnace, and gave us an estimate of about $500 to repair it; he clearly and thoroughly described what the issues were and what needed to be replaced.  However, the furnace was over 40 years old, and he suggested that I consider replacing rather than dumping that much into interim repairs.  His comments seemed reasonable to me, so I agreed with him and asked for an estimate for the work, which was $2600 for everything involved.  Once I heard that, I was *very* pleased, because when we previously got a quote to replace it, the other company (no longer recall who) had wanted over $4000!!! <br /> Anyway, his workers came out yesterday, arriving a few minutes before the 0800 appointment, got immediately to work, and had the entire job done in 5 hours.  They did <em>immaculate</em> work, didn't mind me watching over their shoulders as they worked, and I am quite pleased with all of their work. <br /> We also love the new furnace!!!  We never realized before, how weak the old blower was; the house heats up *amazingly* fast now, and it has an electronic ignition, so we don't need to worry about pilot lights any more.  The reason I'm mentioning the equipment is to communicate that they clearly choose good-quality equipment to install. <br /> Highly recommended! <br />"

"Juan actually fixed the furnace instead of trying to sell me a new one. He explained what was broken and what he could do to further the life of the furnace. Great service, great value for money."

"I highly recommend Aire Serv of Campbell & Saratoga to anyone in need of HVAC services. Alton helped me find the right system that works for our home within my budget. Alton was knowledgeable and truly explained the different options & HVAC available that would fit for our home. Alton answered all my questions with patience and expertise.

They treated my home with respect, cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I like their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right the first time. Thank you for making our home energy efficient. I'm happy with the results."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in San Jose, CA

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.
