"Initially I had my AC repaired due to a leak. They were upfront about it possibly not holding the Freon..But for a couple of hundred dollars, I wanted to try it over replacing the entire HVAC sysrem. Mine was 33 years old at that point. So the Freon lasted about a month and I said let's just try it one more time and they were willing to try although again they said it probably isn't going to last even with "stop leak" added. Well it lasted about 5 days. So, when I called them to have them install a new HVAC, they took the second service call and credited it to the new HVAC. I have had the new HVAC for about a month, with the Google Nest thermostat and I could not be happier. Tony, JD, Mike and the other guys are the best. Amazing, professional, honest, with a fair to low price. I honestly would have paid more based on other bids. I would say don't even bother with other bids, but that wouldn't he prudent. So, get other bids but go with these guys. I promise you you will not be disappointed. I could not have asked for a better experience!!!"

"It went well. Not sure how many years it's been but Dave continues to solve the many riddles around our boiler (house circa 1930). This time was not so bad but I simply don't call anyone else PERIOD. Waste of time when you can work with a savant. Just as an FYI - he's pretty much done my entire basement from PEX to a water filtration system."

"I had been advise that the compressor on my a/c unit was dead and I needed a new central a/c unit. I called to get a quote and when he came, he looked at the unit and said he thought they were wrong, and inside 20 minutes had it running like new. He could have just given me a quote for a new unit but went out of his way to repair my unit, telling me what to look for in the future, and charged me less than half of what I was charged by my â service â carrier, who was totally wrong as to what the problem was. I highly recommend him for his honesty and knowledge, as well as his service. Thank you Challenger!"

"My central air quit during a nasty heat wave and they responded quicklyâ within a few hours a technician arrived that evening, followed shortly by the salesman when I decided to replace instead of repair. The job was scheduled for the very next morning! The installers were on time, friendly and cleaned up the areas. Everyone I dealt with was knowledgeable and professional. Interest-free financing was a huge selling point. Very good experience!."

"Excellent! The team worked diligently for 5 days to install a central air system in our old house with Plaster Walls. It was NOT easy, yet they did a fantastic job. They were able to add all ducts to the first floor with out any "chases" or enclosures requiring to be build. And almost none of our first floor lines up with our second floor closets, but they figured it out. Great time and fantastic service. Make sure you get Brandon and Sean. The work their butts off, and ensure your house stays clean (they cleaned up everything after every day - not an easy feat). Cannot say how happy am I with their work!"

"Their customer service as well as technician are wonderful! I would definitely hire them again. I needed a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician urgently check and certify the work done by someone else because of the Township codes. (It was a garbage disposal replaced by my general contractor while kitchen remodeling in my rental condo, and in installation wise, everything was good.) Because my new tenants were scheduled to move in less than two weeks at that time and all the inspections had to be passed...or else they were not allowed to move in. I had contacted several licensed plumbers and electricians, but they all declined because they didn't want to certify work done by someone else. I was furious. Then, Home Advisor found "Rich's Plumbing" for me. Sheri the customer service from Rich's Plumbing called me. I explained my situation. Sheri confirmed that she can send one of technicians to my property and check and certify the plumbing part. Not only that, Sheri also tried to help me find a licensed electrician too. She was such an angel! I was able to schedule both electrician and plumber for the following day. Anthony the plumber came and checked the garbage disposal thoroughly. Everything looked good, said Anthony. Then, while I was asking questions for the bathrooms (also newly remodeled) Anthony spotted one of the bathroom sink plumbings had used a flexible pipe that were illegal (not allowed) in NJ. He told me that just because Home Depot sells it doesn't mean we are allowed to use it. (The reason why my general contractor and I decided to use the flexible piping was because the new vanity's drawers was taking too much space and didn't leave much space to put a traditional piping.) But Anthony explained me why we needed to use a P-trap type piping instead of the flexible type, and it had to be done even if we cut and alter the vanity drawers. I understood that the sink piping had to be corrected in order to pass the inspection. I thought Anthony was going to say that he needed to come back another day to fix, but instead, he was so confident that he was able to fix it right away. He stepped out once to get a necessary part from the store, and he flew back and LITERALLY fixed it right away. Not only that, he cut and put the piping in the way so that the vanity drawers fit and close perfectly without touching the piping (so, I didn't need to alter the drawers). Amaaaazing!! Anthony also taught me the proper way of testing leakage. It was so educational. I had hired licensed plumbers in past here and there, but I had never met anyone who was so experienced, friendly, confident, and educational. I think his confidence comes from his experiences, and it also made me feel very comfortable and confident in his work as well. I was so happy! Lastly, Rich's Plumbing team was very accommodating for my need. I needed to file and request the inspection ASAP because of my new tenant's scheduled move in date. They prepared the paperwork by following morning, so that I was able to pick it up early morning and filed it directly at the Township. I had such a wonderful experience with Rich's Plumbing. When they say they will, they will. I know that I can count on them. Thank you very much for Sheri, Anthony, and all Rich's Plumbing team! You are amazing!!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Somerville, NJ

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.
