Is $1,200 to replace the AC fan motor a fair price?
Project Details
My AC unit is 20 years old. Last winter, it started making a whirring noise when running the heater, but it went away after a few days. I ran the system for a few days without realizing the AC had an issue, and the technician said I could have damaged the compressor by running the unit without a fan. I'm not comfortable installing the motor myself, and I'm asking if the pricing is reasonable and if it's worth replacing the whole unit now.
