"Kody quickly diagnosed the issue with our system, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and offered honest recommendations without any upselling or pressure. The repair was done efficiently, and he left the workspace clean and tidy—something I really appreciate. If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and skilled in HVAC work, I wouldn’t hesitate to call Kody again and will be recommending him to friends and family without hesitation! "

"Jan 2026 I want to share my terrible experience with Total Comfort Heating and Cooling. To start, I scheduled a routine maintenance appointment for my furnace in November and they could not find an opening until early January. As I get no notification the day before that my appointment is still on the books, I call to verify and they say it is. They do not give me a time window and then call me the day of the appointment to ask if I can reschedule. Their next opening is not for 3 weeks. If you are looking for something to actually show up on time and within a reasonable time frame. Stay far away from Total Comfort Heating and Cooling."

"I recently purchased a new dryer, but when it arrived, it wouldn't turn on. At first, I thought I had received a faulty unit from the store. However, the delivery man suggested that the issue might actually be with the outlet. Concerned about the situation, I called Aquarius for assistance, and they quickly sent David Schaeffer to diagnose the problem. I have to say, David was incredibly helpful. He efficiently determined that the issue was indeed with the outlet rather than the dryer itself. This experience marked my second time using Aquarius. My first encounter was for a plumbing issue they resolved for me earlier. I can't recommend Aquarius enough! Their team is always friendly and eager to assist. A huge thanks to David for fixing my outlet. Now my new dryer is up and running, and I am very satisfied with the service I received!"

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"The owners of Countryside Heating & Cooling completely lied about the Labor and Warranty for our HVAC System. During the sales process, the owner himself promised 5 years of labor, including 10 years for parts and service. They are not honoring that claim. At first sign of an issue with the system within days of installation, they stated that the system only had a one year labor warranty. We had to go back and forth countless times before the owner finally agreed to that. They also stated after the system was sold and installed that in order to keep their labor warranty, we would have to purchase an expensive monthly service plan to keep the labor side of the warranty. This was never disclosed in any documentation, or by word of mouth prior to or during the sale of the system. One year later, sure enough a part of the system is already broken and they refused to service it without purchasing their expensive monthly service contract, and the owners have not responded to any of the requests we have made for service. They also stated that in order to keep the parts warranty, we would be required to pay this service or Bryant corporate wouldn't honor our parts warranty. I called Bryant Corporate and opened a case with them. Both the initial rep and the rep escalation Manager assured me that was 100% untrue what Countryside stated, and my warranty was valid regardless of Countryside's demands for 'professional HVAC servicing'. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, even their own electrician during the install stated multiple times how their owner would consistently embellish the extend of the electrical work required. They don't even put any guidelines in the quotes for you, it's just the products and prices. Do yourselves a favor and go with a reputable HVAC company, not Countryside."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Watertown, MN

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.
