ac blower motor replacement cost

How much should it cost to replace an inside air conditioner blower motor? I need information about install of new 3/4 h.p. 1075 RPM 115 v Blower motor with 15-start/run capacitator.This would include all parts and labor for a total price. Do you have the same question? Angie's List>Project Cost Info Your Search the List category is Heating and A/C.You did not give make or model, so I jumped on one of my favorite HVAC parts sites and looked at a few common units like Lennox, Amana, Carrier with 3/4 HP 1075 rpm motors - looks like generally about $250-350 range for the motor with capacitor (so maybe $300-450 with contractor markup), plus should take about an hour or maybe two to remove covers and grates, remove fan blade, remove motor, reinstall all and test - so probably about 150-300 labor I would expect. Maybe BayAreaAC will jump on here with his estimate, since he is a full-time HVAC contractor. Answered 2 years ago The answer is more complex than the answers that have been offered to this date.

Some manufactures have product specific compoenents (Original equipment parts) Or OEM Parts that are specified by the design Engineer and are only acquired from that manufacture and then through an authorized Dealer or Servicer. If the equipment is designed to address higher efficiencies or specific Static pressures you will see higher cost in replacing these compoenents. Variable speed blowers incorporate a motor and motor module allowing a variation in the amount of air moving throught the structure at any given time. This capability addresses Efficiency and comfort of balanced temps throughout the Home or buisness. These become very exspensive to replace.For any motor replacement the capacitor should always be replaced as the stresses that caused the motor to fail have also stressed the capacitor and even if it tests good at the time of replacement of the motor, the capacitor may fail at any time and damage the new motor compoenent. My company is one of the largest TRANE Dealers in the nation and we use the same pricing structure as New Car service centers.

Example: If you take your car to a Authorized repair Center the Repair person will give you a price of the repair,parts and labor combined.The (2) parts of this pricing structure is Parts and Labor.Parts are costed at a competitive rate for what ever market your in.Example: The cost of a compoenent is not the same on the East or West Coasts or North or South,but driven by vender and delivery costs.Labor is figured on a National average , this rate will be relitively close in all areas with some diviation.Parts + Labor = Cost to customer.My Technicians are paid from the labor portion of this calculation and make no commision for selling compoenents.If a quoted repair pays the Technician 1hr labor and it takes the Tech 3hrs the customer pays no more than the original repair quote. I got mine replaced from BAILEYS in Modesto for **WAIT FOR IT***$135.00 that included the service call and everything. THEY ARE THE BEST.

Removed the shroud with motor and capacitor. When it came time to separate the fan from the motor, i placed the shroud on bricks and, after removing the retaining bolt for the fan, I took a hammer to the armature.

how to replace a capacitor in an ac unitStill determined to avoid calling the repair guy, I took the entire assembly to a local electric motor shop. The tech removed the motor with a torch. I told him I was going to replace the fan and capacitor. When I returned an hour later, he had already reinstalled the motor with a new fan, re-wired the motor to fit my old harness, and made the shroud look brand new. i wasn't charged for the extra work.

Total bill was $198. i installed the shroud in about fifteen minutes and now she purs like a kitten. Not sure how accurate this is, but he told me an AC repair guy would have likely charged around $700 to do it all. There is something to be said about the satisfaction you get from doing it yourself.

Repair of a bad blower motor replace blower motor 1997 E38 BMWHVAC Systems use the blower motor to feed warm and cold air to the rooms of your house year round. The only time they don’t seem to be working is for a few months in the fall and spring when the weather is mild enough to not need heating or air conditioning. Because they work so often they need to be made to run for many hours before replacement is necessary but like all things eventually you will need to have your furnace serviced.

There are two parts to the fan in your heater.. the motor and the fan cage. The fan cage almost never gets damaged to require replacement but the motor that drives it can have a variety of problems that all motors run into. You can have worn contact brushes, a bad bearing or a shorted armature. If you could obtain the brushes for your motor the cost would probably be under $15 for the brush set but you will need to remove the motor, remove the cage fan from the motor, disassemble the motor and install the brushes. Once you have the motor off of the fan cage it is almost always best to just go ahead and replace the motor. In almost all furnaces the motor can be replaced with a generic equivalent. Generic motors are used not only for the furnace but also for your external air conditioning unit. The rating and size of the motor should be on a label on the motor. You can visit your local electrical supply house that serves the HVAC industry or you could possibly purchase the motor online if you can wait for delivery.

Waiting in the summer is not that much of a problem but in the winter you don’t want your house to get cold and your pipes to freeze. If you don’t think that you can perform the work yourself then you can hire a HVAC Technician. Labor for HVAC repairs can be expensive. Although the work is not normally that difficult if your heating unit is located in a basement with lots of room you can expect to be charged at least a full hour but most likely 2 hours labor. If the company sends two techs you could even end up paying twice as much in Labor. That is not really reasonable but I have seen it happen. The cost per hour will depend where you live but you can expect to pay $60 per hour or more. You should ask about labor costs before the technician visits your home. Ask if there is a 1hr minimum and if they bill in hours or if they bill in quarter or half hours after the first hour. Also if you call at a time of day other then normal working hours you will probably pay a premium.

Weekends and Holidays are also a premium. The extra fee could be equal to more then an hour of labor. Oil heaters are normally feeding a baseboard hot water system however oil heat also requires a motor to feed the furnace with air to allow the oil to burn. Although the systems are different the same premise exists. You have a motor and a fan system. Some fans are of the squirrel cage type and others are propitiatory. But luckily the motors are also available in generics. Replacing the motor on an oil heat furnace should take no more then an hour and the process is pretty easy. The only hard part about replacing an oil heat furnace fan motor is that the motor also runs the oil pump. It can be a little tricky but the install is not impossible for the average home owner who is not rushed to heat a freezing home. Fan systems on Oil heaters are often referred to as inducers. So you can do the work yourself if you can get the part in a reasonable amount of time.
