"They were able to come out the same day and were great to work with. From booking the appointment with Krystal with ease and Daniel who repaired the AC was great. I highly recommend Petrocelli Services."

"From start to finish everyone I met and talked to was professional and helpful. They answered my questions and went out of their way to make sure I had the correct information and equipment I needed. I was able to talk to the owner of the company as well as the warehouse manager and service personal. The installers showed up on time and called before they arrived. They cleaned up before they left and took all the debris with them. Same for the service staff who came out the next day to make some adjustments. The installers and service people were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system knew what they had to do to get it right. Most of all they were honest besides knowing what they were doing. I have never met an HVAC company or service department that were so honest and forthright. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact, I am going to recommend them and tell my neighbors about them also. There is absolutly not question I would use them again. Dave Greer"

"The job was done efficiently and competently. I've signed up for a service plan. Time will tell whether it is worth the money, as there is not really much done in servicing a working AC/heating system."

"The guy was just phenomenal.  We liked that when he came out, he did an assessment of what we needed.  He kind of laid it out for us and we had to do some things to replace another board on our a/c, rather than just saying that it would cost so much to get it.  He gave me options to see if we could find the part independently.  If we could then he would charge a minimal fee to come in and to put back into to make the a/c work correctly.  We did some things and he came in temporarily to make it work until we could find an a/c to replace it.  We called him that time and had him consider our a/c system back again.  We appreciated his honesty.  When he came in, he spent a good 45 minutes to figure out what the issue was.  He didn't even charge us for the service because he couldn't fix it with what he had.  If it needs to be charged then he would have to order things.  They are doing best for the people in this economy get what they want to get."

"STEPHANIE IS FANTASTIC!!! My needs are small and out of scope for A-plus but that’s not the end of this story. Before calling me to say so, Stephanie researched other businesses that might be a better match. When she called to say A-plus can’t work with me, she also had name and phone # of company she’d ALREADY CALLED HERSELF to confirm my needs are in their scope of services. Who does that??? My only regret is that I don’t currently have need for A-plus’s services but you can be sure they’re top of the list for future need. Stephanie is a true gem!!"

"I told this man if my system ever needed service in the future he would be the first person I would call. Truly good work, I went up in the attic and reviewed all he did to the AC unit with him there to explain each action taken. All very good work. Hire him! That is my advice. LRB"

"As an Airbnb host, it is imperative that my a/c unit be operational and so when it went out in this Texas heat I needed someone who could diagnose and repair ASAP. Jose was very responsive, informative, efficient and affordable. I will be using him for my regular AC maintenance and am pleased to find a company I can call upon for emergencies. Highly recommend."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
