I must be doing something wrong. When my former boss and I used to do
furnace installs, it would take us (two men) typically two days to get it
all in.


Then you are doing something wrong...we installed a new heat pump, with gas
backup today, with complete new ducts..and that was 3 people, the other 4
were out installing 3 gas packs on a rooftop....guess what?
All got roughed in this morning, and first thing tomorrow by 8am, final
inspections wrote off...
Yea..
you did alot wrong.

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.
