That is all probably true.


If you buy and use it as constant speed blower at an
expense, that is fine for the purpose of experiment
but economy wise I don't think you'll recover initial
cost and if it fails......


In a previous post, I've already roughly calculated that I'd probably
save $40, possibly $60 per year if I changed my PSC motor for an ECM
motor.

The question that I continue to ask is: What is the
"over-the-counter" price of an ECM motor?

I can walk into any hardware or farm supply store and buy a 120v, 1/3
hp PSC motor (for $75 to $150).

Where do go when I want to pick up an ECM motor?

Who sells them "over the counter" ?
Hi,
Lennox is known for selling parts only to trade people. You can contact
other brand supply house or try on-line search. Another issue maybe
mechanically fitting it into your existing set up. Prepare to pay
over a grand for motor and controller. How much is electricity cost
where you are? I have locked in rate of 7 cents per KWH for next 5 years.
