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??



Maybe, maybe not.
We just replaced a furnace for a customer because the blower motor went

out.

Our cost for the motor was $800!!

Obviously not an average house.



I assumed you were talking about an industrial
sized area, office building.

But you are right, I don't know anything about
$800 fan motors. In fact I don't know anything
about $800 motors. I would expect at least a 5
horse for that amount of money.

An $800 fan motor is crazy in an average house of
1500-2500 square feet. And, any home owner that
bought one must be a real push over, or have more
money than they know what to do with. What does
the furnace and A/c total for installation,
$6000? Did they put a $2000 front door on it.
How about, $50 outlets and $60 light switches?

There is nothing normal or average about an $800
motor for anything in a single family residence!
Somebody is probably just pushing expensive stuff
that will probably operates as well as Denver
Airport baggage system.
