Blower Motor Failure — Full Restoration of the Air Conditioning System

We were called out by Alma from Palo Alto, who reported that her air conditioner suddenly stopped delivering any airflow. The outdoor unit was running as usual — the fan spun, the compressor kicked in — but inside the house, there was zero air movement. That’s a classic sign of a failed blower motor, the internal fan motor responsible for pushing air through the evaporator coil.

Once we opened the furnace cabinet, the issue became obvious. The blower motor was completely burned out, and the blower housing showed signs of an old DIY “fix” — electrical tape on the casing, loose wiring, and a misaligned blower wheel that had likely been vibrating for a long time, slowly killing the motor.

What we did:
✅ Removed the failed blower motor
✅ Installed a properly matched new motor
✅ Cleaned and balanced the blower assembly
✅ Corrected and secured all wiring
✅ Tested the system — airflow fully restored

After the repair, the air conditioner is once again delivering stable, consistent airflow, and Alma finally has proper cooling throughout the house. Total cost: about $1,200.
