The typical cost for an hvac service company to perform this task would be over $200.

Our guide will walk you through the process of diagnosis, motor selection, and replacement. **NOTE** Only you can assess your ability to perform this task. This is a guide and cannot provide all of the details for every situation.If you suspect the condenser fan motor is bad you should check to be sure before you replace it. Begin your diagnosis by shutting the power off to the air conditioner. Next, you should check to see if the fan blade spins freely. If it does not, the motor should be replaced. If the blade spins freely, you should feel the motor to see if it is hot.If the motor is hot, you should check it's run capacitor using our handy guide and replace it as necessary. If the run capacitor was bad, you should allow the fan motor to cool. Then you can turn the unit back on and see if the motor starts and comes up to speed. If the fan fails to start or does not run at full speed, it should be replaced. The next step, in air conditioner fan replacement, is to select the proper replacement motor.

This is also a good time to consider a money saving upgrade for your air conditioner.All motors have a model/manufacturers number on them. You can usually find an exact replacement with that number. You can purchase your replacement motor through the condenser fan motors category of our parts store on Amazon.If you are unable to find an exact replacement, you can usually use a universal replacement. Here is what you should look for and match:1. the motor diameter in inches (3.3, 5, 5.5, 6.5) 2. the operating voltage (115, 208-230, 460)3. the horsepower (1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2) ** Many universal replacement motors have more than one horsepower rating**4. the size of the shaft in inches5. the speed in rpm 6. the direction of rotation ** Many universal replacement motors are dual rotation. The direction of rotation is easily changed to meet the required need.**7. To begin your air conditioner fan replacement, ensure that the power to the unit is off. Then, you should write down the colors of the fan motor wires and where they are connected.

Next, you can remove the motor and fan assembly. There are several different ways that they can be mounted. Generally, what is required is to loosen the bolt on the band that holds the motor in place. On some units, the motor mounts are built into the motor.Now, you can remove the fan blade from the motor. It is important that you note the orientation of the blade on the motor shaft. To remove the fan blade, loosen the set screws and twist and pull the blade off the shaft.apartment size ac unit The replacement motor is installed by simply reversing the removal procedure. what causes a window ac unit to freezeYou should pay special attention to make sure the fan blade is centered in the opening on the unit.how much does a wall ac unit cost to run

Also, the run capacitor should be replaced anytime a motor is replaced. Ensure that you have the proper size for your motor and the desired horsepower (for multi horsepower motors).After the motor is installed, you should complete your air conditioner fan replacement by verifying proper rotation and cooling system operation.HVAC 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. It is probably good to call around your area or ask at your local supply center now before you need one and ask about generics and how to spec the motor size, volts, speed, amps. In the end you should not have to pay more then about $350 to $500 maximum for a new blower motor but if you have a oil delivery service contract then they should cut you a break and the lower end of the scale should be your maximum.
