Gas company is saying the power-vent brought to you
by "fieldcontrols" (see http://www.fieldcontrols.com) will set me back
$600 plus $250 in labor. "It's very hard to replace it, will take at
least 3 hours".


Hilarious. Love some of these guys. They probably get maybe a 1/5th of the
business with their prices. 1/5th the work - same money. Maybe not
exactly, but you get the idea. Gotta give them some credit. Where do I
sign up?

$600 is probably more than most installers' cost for an entire super
efficient voodoo special top of the line furnace - and it would likely take
a good tech in a typical install less than 3 hours to rip out and install an
entire new furnace to boot.

Shop around for the motor. HVAC parts warehouses will have cross-reference
and application catalogs.
