Monday, August 14th, 2023

How to Spot a Blower Motor Problem

Monday, October 11th, 2021

No, we’re not talking about leaf blowers or a box fan, we’re talking about your air conditioner! Sometimes there can be a problem in your AC unit that has nothing to do with the refrigerant or the compressor, and instead the problem persists in your system’s blower motor.

How do you know if you’ve got a blower motor problem that requires AC repair in Gainesville, FL? Well, there are a few telltale signs that can point you in the right direction.

Keep reading, we’ll get into all the details about blower motor problems and why you need to call us if you suspect this problem is occurring in your own home.
