Our topic for today: In my experience at newtons heating and air conditioning or really in the HVAC industry I can safely tell you who you chose as a HVAC contractor for your Ac repair truly matters a lot for your Clearwater Florida home. Ill give you an a example, I had a customer that contacted me to get a second opinion on replacing her evaporator fan motor because she got a crazy high quote at nearly $2200 dollars. The reason this motor is so high is because the government puts mandates on how energy efficient your HVAC equipment needs to be. They rate this measurement in something called a seer rating. This motor is called a ecm fan motor and it basically has a computer board on it and that part is called a module. These break all of the time because here in Clearwater Florida or really all of Pinellas county we have a very bad electrical grid. That’s why sometimes you come home and all of your clocks are reset or maybe your watching a movie and all of your lights flicker. This is called a surge or a brown out meaning you electric which is called voltage in this case raises and lowers. That is what typically destroys these modules and worst yet you have to order these from the supply house and is not something you can stock on your truck because they are unit specific. That is what 90% of new equipment has installed from the factory sense maybe 2010 or early to mid 2000’s. Its rarely ever the motor that is actually bad its the module and the module is like 20$ cheaper than the motor module combo so it also makes sense to replace both. When these motors become out of warranty from the equipment manufacture the motors can get expensive as $1500 for me the HVAC contractor to buy at cost. So when you call out a company they are going to do one of two things, they are going to quote you for a motor for $2200 or $2500 or maybe tell you its not worth putting that much into a older system which might makes sense at that time. Here is the 3rd option that we do often at newtons heating and air conditioning. We can actually convert that motor you have from a expensive ecm fan motor to a psc motor. Now this has many benefits first and foremost its way cheaper! easily under $1000 and they are way more reliable then a ecm fan motor in addition when they do go bad typically due to a weak capacitor and we should have one on our truck to get you up and cooling right than and there and the part is typically under $200 to be installed! So in conclusion it is very important to pick a good HVAC contractor to do your Ac repairs because not only can they save you money on the repair but also maybe prevent you from having to replace the whole system in your Clearwater Florida home.
