Sounds fair to me, considering where you live (maybe even a little low,
depending on how difficult the job). The motor probably cost anywhere from
50 - 150 bucks ... plus the cost to get it there, an hour or so of time to
install it, plus overhead, insurance, advertising, profit, etc etc.

My neighbor called me over, said that the AC/Furnace and basement
lights were off but the breakers weren't tripped. So I looked, found
one labled basement lights which seemed to be tripped but very little.
I turned it off, then on and the lights came on but the furnace didn't.
I told her to turn the fan on at the thermostat. She did, the lights
went off. She wanted to call an electrician, I suggested a furnace man.
Saw her a little later and she thanked me for the suggestion. The
repair guy came, run a few tests, said that it looks like a job for an
electrician. Then he tried one more thing and determined that it was
the furnace blower motor. He replaced it and everything was working.
It's a 13 year old Carrier High-efficiency furnace. The motor and labor
was $310.
This seemed like a lot to me. I didn't say so.
What do you think, was she over charged??
