HVAC Blower Motor Replacement in San Antonio, Schertz, Converse, Floresville, Elmendorf, New Braunfels, and Surrounding Cities

A blower motor is an essential component of an HVAC system. It activates the fan in the unit, pushing the air from the condenser and circulates it throughout the space. Essentially, the blower motor is responsible for ensuring the indoor temperature matches the temperature on the thermostat.

Shopping for replacement blower motors can be tricky if a home’s blower motor fails. There are two blower motor options—variable-speed models and single-speed. HVAC blower motor replacement costs vary based on the type a system requires. 

For example, variable-speed models operate at different speeds, meaning they control the home’s airflow more efficiently. On the other hand, single-speed models activate when the thermostat detects the indoor temperature is different from the preferred setting.

Neither type runs efficiently without regular maintenance. Anyone who suspects the system is constantly operating or feels the indoor temperature is different from what they expect should contact a certified professional.

Regular maintenance prevents blower motor problems from occurring in the first place. Moreover, a technician has the skills and tools to handle HVAC blower motor replacements without difficulty.

Signs It’s Time to Replace an HVAC Blower Motor

Several reputable companies make high-quality blower motors across North America. But none are indestructible. Whether a system uses a Trane blower motor or a Carrier blower motor, there’s always a chance the component may malfunction. In that case, homeowners should know how to recognize the warning signs.

The most common symptoms of blower motor failure include:

  • Poor airflow: This is usually the first indicator the blower motor is struggling to do its job. The component could be clogged or broken down. It’s not unusual for dust and debris to block the motor, but leaky air ducts may also be the culprit. Sometimes, it may mean that the system needs a replacement motor. Only a qualified technician can determine the cause of the issue.

  • No airflow: The blower motor is likely completely broken if the system fails to produce airflow. The best solution is to contact an experienced HVAC technician who can diagnose the problem and recommend replacement options.

  • Increase in energy bills: Blower motors consume a lot of energy. Increased energy consumption may indicate the component has reached the end of its service life.

  • Strange noises: Rattling, clanking, screeching, and squealing may indicate belt or bearing issues. Never ignore banging sounds since they usually signal it’s time to retire the faulty blower motor.

  • Odd smells: An overheating motor produces a burning smell whenever someone runs the heat.

Costs to Replace a Furnace Blower Motor

On average, homeowners should expect to pay around $450 to replace their blower motor. However, always check whether the system is under warranty. If so, the labor-only fees are roughly $150. Note that replacing a blower is more expensive if the unit is in an area difficult to access. In these cases, the replacement cost can go up to as much as $2,000.
