Ace Heating and Cooling | Reliable HVAC Services in Newberg, OR

Yes, that humming sound often indicates a failing compressor, which is a frequent problem in our area, especially during our hot summers when systems are under heavy strain. The compressor is the heart of your AC unit. We recommend turning the system off immediately to prevent further damage and calling us for a professional diagnosis. Our technicians can assess if a repair is possible or if a replacement is the more reliable, long-term solution.

Our preventative maintenance service is specifically designed to catch issues like impending air handler fan failures before they leave you without heating or cooling. We thoroughly clean the fan blades and motor, check electrical connections for corrosion, lubricate moving parts, and test the capacitor and blower motor amp draw. This proactive care reduces strain on the system, improves efficiency, and is one of the best ways to extend the life of your HVAC unit, saving you from unexpected breakdowns.

In most cases, a failed air handler fan can be repaired. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a bad capacitor, a worn-out motor, or an electrical issue—and provide you with a straightforward repair option. We always use high-quality replacement parts. However, if your system is very old and inefficient, we might recommend considering a replacement to improve your home's comfort and energy savings. We'll explain all your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your Newberg home.
