Qualified HVAC Services in Gardner, KS 66030 - Wesco Heating and Cooling

Yes, that's a common symptom of outdoor fan motor failure, an issue we see frequently in the Gardner area. The motor might be seized or the capacitor that starts it could be faulty. Continuing to run the system in this state can cause further damage. It's best to turn the system off and call us for a diagnosis. We can test the motor and capacitor and perform a reliable repair to get your cooling back online.

For most homes in Gardner, we recommend checking your standard 1-inch filter every month and changing it at least every 90 days. However, with pets, high pollen counts, or if anyone in the household has allergies, changing it every 30-60 days is better. A clogged filter is a top cause of HVAC strain, reduced airflow, and higher energy bills. During our maintenance visits, we always check and can remind you of your specific schedule.

Our Gardner-focused maintenance tune-up is designed to catch issues like failing fan motors and airflow restrictions early. We thoroughly clean the outdoor condenser coil (a major factor in motor strain), check electrical components and capacitors, lubricate moving parts if needed, and measure system pressures and airflow. We also inspect and clean the indoor blower and, of course, check your air filter. This proactive service helps prevent the breakdowns we commonly fix and keeps your system running efficiently.
