Is $850 to replace damper motors a fair price?

Project Details

I am not a HVAC person and I'm learning as I go. One of the actuator motors for my dampers is malfunctioning and is remaining closed and not opening. My system uses a Honeywell TrueZONE® HZ311 Panel, and currently has Carrier HF21KJ005 damper motors. We got a quote to replace the motors of $850.00 which seemed high, especially when the process to replace the motors does not seem all that involved, that is it seems like a remove and replace. I do my own home repairs and am pretty capable. I am guessing based on the fact that my current motors are power open power close, that I do not have a spring return in the vent though I have not checked. Can anyone recommend a good replacement for these? The Carrier replacement model GHF21KJ007 are 350.00 on supply house but I do not know much about the field, are there any other decent brands or products to replace this? Otherwise would it be easier to put in a spring return damper and get a honeywell motor? I appreciate any help or advise

Replace two zone dampers

The quote is for the replacement of two zone damper units. The HVAC company diagnosed hot and cold spots in the house, identifying two dead Honeywell zone damper motors. The technician stated that the entire damper unit needs to be replaced, rather than just the motors/actuators, due to them being Honeywell units and potential compatibility issues with other brands. - Service: Zone damper replacement with installation - Number of units: 2 - Damper Brand: Honeywell
