"We originally found found Presidential Heating and Cooling on Angie's List at least 15 years ago. We liked the company immediately. We have been on a contract for at least 10 years. They installed our current furnace. All the employees are great. James came to service our furnace today. We have never had a problem with any of the techs who have come to our house. The office staff is great also."

"Tech found a dirty sensor that was causing the furnace to shut off and on thereby causing too much cold air to build up in ducts. Too early to tell how much improvement as no really cold days following the fix."

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received from McCrea Heating and Air Conditioning Services of Maryland. Upon returning from vacation on a 100 degree July day, I found my old HVAC system basically dead (90 degrees in my kitchen!) ... Shane immediately came out to provide an estimate, we signed a contract on the spot, and he kindly provided some freon to hold me over until the new system could be installed. Brian and Nick showed up exactly on time to install the unit, used drop cloths to protect my flooring, and were exceedingly polite and professional throughout. I'd highly recommend this organization."

"

we had a leak problem and the tech came and looked over our equipment, fixed the problem and left. It cost us nothing and we have had their home heating service contracts for over 20 years.  They have NEVER ONCE not shown up or not helped and in the two furnace emergencies we had--they were here with in 1hr. 

We are very happy.

I am very satisfied with the new system and with the great customer service."

"Isak was of great help in servicing our 15 y/o forced air and heat pump furnaces. He described every step of the service, taught us how the units work, and where to look for early failure. Isak also helped install and properly program our Nest thermostats so we have an efficiently running house and HVAC system. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for help!"

"Lucky and his team member came out twice to help us with our washing machine issues. They were able to come immediately to help fix the problem. I very much appreciate the superb service and knowledge that they shared about our machine and potential future issues and things that we could do to improve things. I would absolutely call them again for future repairs, they are a class act and wonderful people to work with. Thank you Lucky!"

"Got the Furnace tune up deal for Sila through Angie's List for $59 and scheduled appt less than 7 days, very smooth process. Technician was 3 min early. So I will just state the facts here and leave out the emotion. The tune up deals from Sila states: "Furnace tune-up includes: heat exchanger inspection; blower system; electrical components; ignition components; safety device inspection; checking gas pressure; flue connector inspection; temperature rise; filtration inspection; gas components inspection; combustion air inspection; condensate inspection; thermostat inspection; duct and piping inspection; checking overall system efficiency" What was definitely NOT done on list stated above was 1) Checking gas pressure and 2) Combustion air inspection. When I ask the technician Nate, about checking these items, his response was "Both tools were stolen and the company has not given him a replacement yet". Therefore no Manometer (tool to check gas pressure and pressure switch) or no Gas Combustion Analyzer to measure flue gas oxygen, carbon monoxide, stack temperature, and draft...AKA the bad gas levels. Technician didn't call for help for someone to deliver or assist him in the matter. A third thing to add is that Nate did NOT properly check the capacitor for the blower motor. The process was not done with the wires still connected to the capacitor when he did a meter test. Every furnace tune up I had said the capacitor should be disconnected to test. Also you can google how to properly test a capacitor as well to verify. Besides the 3 mention items, which are all important, not getting checked, Nate did perform the other items on the list. So Would I hire again....wish there was a 3rd option of maybe, but for now it is NOT a convincing yes. One guy who used to check my furnace made a statement when I felt cheated about a previous tune up compared to all the items he check and explained and found a failing capacitor I might add said this "A company is a good as its techs and 1 lazy tech says more about the tech which can be inferred to the company...AKA 1 bad apple in the bunch spoils the rest.""

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system service projects in Washington, DC

Most blower motors last 10 to 20 years—the same life span as the furnace or AC they serve. Annual tune-ups keep the bearings clean, the capacitor healthy, and your airflow strong. Call an HVAC pro if you hear grinding, smell burning, or notice weak airflow; catching issues early can save you from a pricier mid-season breakdown.

Plan on two to three hours for a standard swap. Your tech will cut power and gas, pull the old motor, slide in the new one, then test every setting before buttoning up the furnace. Tight quarters or extra part replacements can stretch the visit, but most homeowners are back to comfy airflow well before dinnertime.

Signs of a tired blower motor include weak airflow, unexplained spikes in energy bills, and new sounds—think grinding, rattling, or buzzing—coming from the furnace. If hot or cold air isn’t making it to your favorite chair, schedule an HVAC pro right away; catching the issue early can often mean a quick part swap instead of a full-blown system repair.

There is no difference between an AC and a furnace blower motor. Both systems use the same essential motor to circulate heated or cooled air through your home. This unit fulfills the identical role whether it supports central air conditioning or furnace heating. In some configurations, separate units might be installed for redundancy, yet their operating mechanism remains the same and efficiently delivers comfort throughout your home.
