Is $360 to replace a broken Trane blower motor a fair price?
Project Details
My new Trane unit, installed in 2023, has a non-functioning blower motor. The dealer said they have to replace it. Although the part is under warranty, I still need to pay a $360 labor fee. I am located in Texas, and it's not livable without AC these days. The order for the blower motor is still on the way, and I don't know when it will arrive.
