I bought this vinyl to replace the vinyl that deteriorated in an old Lasko window fan. At over twelve bucks,this is a pricy investment for two pieces of vinyl.

The panels don't stay, and there are no screw holes or anything. It doesn't even do it's job.air handling unit great product , better than what comes with air conditioners when purchased , very heavy rubber material that will last I hope. cheap outside air conditioning unitsI love a good product .price of window unit air conditioners Works as it's supposed to. I used some window caulk to seal it up nice against the a/c unit after I installed it in the window. Way better than buying a new AC. Took a little longer to install than expected but worked out fine Good product, but didn't work well with my 2 fan window configuration ... I'll save it for an air conditioner if I ever need one? These are flimsy and lose stickiness after just one week.

Not happy with my purchase. Very fussy install but worked - would buy again.With our air conditioner fan replacement guide, you can do it yourself and save. 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. The replacement motor is installed by simply reversing the removal procedure. You should pay special attention to make sure the fan blade is centered in the opening on the unit.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.

I had a service technician come to inspect the unit. He said the electronic board that controls the defrost cycle is not working and must be replaced. The estimated cost is about $350. However, due to the advanced age of my heat pump, the service technician recommended replacing my entire unit — inside and outside. The cost of replacement is about $5,000.Generally speaking, I love my current heat pump. It is very reliable and very economical. I have extremely low monthly utility bills and the unit does a good job in winter and summer. Which leads me to my two questions. Do heat pumps really need to be replaced at such an early age?

Everyone I talk to seems to say heat pumps generally only last about 10 to 12 years. Anything more and you are on borrowed time. Everyone tells me that the service technician is right -- replace the unit, don't fix the part. I don't get why a heat pump should need complete replacement after only 10 to 12 years -- in my case 15 years. It seems like you should be able to repair and fix the unit many times before you will ever match the cost of replacing it. I know many older furnaces would last for 30 plus years.Our society seems to be a very "throw away" society these days.Wouldn't it be wise to invest money into repairing a heat pump, before replacing it?Do you feel that both units should be replaced as a "matching set"? Or can you just replace one unit at a time? My outside unit is the one with the problem. The inside unit is fine. Although it is even older than the outside unit -- probably 20 plus years old. But once again, everyone seems to tell me the same thing -- replace both units.

I don't seem to understand the logic behind replacing both units.I'm going to echo the advice of your service provider and the other wise folks with whom you've consulted. I must tell you, however, that your 15-year-old compressor/condenser has done its job and doesn't owe anybody anything. It has served you well but it's time for it to go for a couple of reasons. Sure, it seemed to you to work well and operate at a level that did not weaken your bank account, but all things are relative.Let's look at it in its 15-year time frame and compare it to what happens today. Heat pumps have a reputation for lasting from 8 to 12 years -- in my experience -- on average. Some last longer -- some less. That's because they do double duty; both heating and cooling. Those furnaces that you eye enviously lasting 30 years plus are only working less than half the time the heat pump does -- no A/C -- so proportionately the heat pump's right up with them. When I see a heat pump working well at the age of yours I always say the good news is, it's still working and bad news is, it's still working.

The older a heat pump is in today's world the more electricity it will use to do its job.There is a formula that is used in the industry to calculate the energy in against the heating and cooling that comes out of it. It called the SEER rating and means seasonal energy efficiency rating. You see them written on the sides of the newer units and they are numbers that hover around 10 and up a bit. The SEER number indicates the amount of electricity that goes into the unit against the amount of heating or cooling capacity that comes out- - the higher the number the more efficient it is.Your 15-year-old unit is probably 10 SEER or less. Since January 23, 2006, every unit sold in the U.S. has to be at least SEER 13. That's pretty darn efficient and to do that the heat pump engineers had to go to a different coolant and had to redesign the units – both inside and out. That's why both have to be replaced.Pouring money into your old unit is not economical in the short or the long run in view of the requirements.
