Hi,

I would get another bid to replace that motor if it were me. Most
vendors will give you a bid for free, so what can you lose. If this
vendor has the best price, then i would replace the blower motor and
save the new furnace for later.


Most companies will give you a free bid on replacing your equipment.
None hardly will give you a free bid on repairs. That would be utter
insanity

Are you saying auto mechanics and auto repair
owners are insane?

HVAC man, not cars. Hell, if I could get all my customers to bring
their furnace or central air conditioner into my warm well lit
comfortable shop Id probably be happy to give all kinds of free
estimates too. Until that day comes, it just aint free.
Ive even started charging for most estimates. I do the work and your
estimate fee goes towards the install price.
Im tired of handing customers all my ideas, paperwork, Manual J's and
all just to have the $3hr hack read my work word for word and do it
cheap. Let him figure it out on his own.
Customers waste tons and tons of man hours by getting 5, 10 and more
bids and then some decide "Uh, thats too much, I'll think about it
next year." Next year the whole process starts over and it doesnt get
done again.
