My RUUD AC condenser fan is no longer turning. Which I believe is preventing the house from being cooled. The motor appears to be working though. Need ac service and repair.

Recently purchased home in Naperville, West Highlands, tri-level. Previous owners replaced furnace and blower 3 years ago with new Lennox unit. Current A/C unit is very old Sears model. Not functioning properly, and would like estimate on possible repair or replacement.

Maintenance
With regular AC maintenance, your unit should be able to give you trouble free service for 15 years or more. Unfortunately, because an air conditioner is a strong piece of machinery that is designed to undertake wear and tear, many Cleveland home owners neglect to undertake regular air conditioning maintenance of their appliance. Keep in mind that small annual investments made in maintaining your HVAC system can save you hundreds of dollars in repair expenses down the line. AC maintenance not only prevents air conditioner problems, but can also keep your AC functioning at its optimum efficiency. Studies show that an air conditioner can lose up to 5% of its sufficiency each year. However, with regular air conditioner maintenance you can keep your unit running at the same efficiency that you bought it for years. In fact, with periodic AC maintenance check ups your unit will hold on to up to 95% of its efficiency. Consider the cost of an annual HVAC maintenance check up, and compare it with the annual cost of HVAC repairs on your air conditioner. You will see that HVAC preventive maintenance is the cost effective choice. Besides, an AC that is well maintained can remove excess moisture from your home better than a neglected unit.
Air conditioning maintenance consists of a few preventive HVAC maintenance tips that can be performed at home. First of all, clean your air filters regularly or get them replaced. Air filters can quickly get blocked with dust particles, especially during the dry season, and this obstructs the air flow. It can also affect the evaporator coil. If your air conditioner has a reusable filter, simple cleaning will do, otherwise, it will need to be replaced. Air conditioning maintenance technicians recommend that you replace the filters at least every month. If your air conditioner is used heavily, or if it is dry and dusty season, the filters may need cleaning more often. Keep the outdoor condenser coil clean by removing leaves and other debris from the area. If there is any foliage at the back, get it trimmed to enable proper air flow. Your evaporator and condenser coil fins can be cleaned using a fin comb. Other central air conditioner maintenance includes making your ducts airtight. Your AC maintenance technician can seal your ducts, and can also insulate the ductwork, especially in areas like attics.
