Is $2,000 to replace a Carrier motor a fair price?
Project Details
I am a single mom and $7,000 is a significant expense for me. My current Carrier system is 16 years old, and while the HVAC technician said it's at the end of its lifespan, it appears to be in great shape. I'm concerned that if I spend $2,000 to replace the motor, other components might fail soon, leading to wasted money. My friends suggest replacing the motor to extend the system's life. I'm also confused about the manufacturing dates; the motor says 2009, but the furnace unit says 2013, making me wonder if the unit is newer than initially thought. I've since discovered my Carrier Infinity ICS unit is covered by a parts warranty until 2030, which makes me lean towards getting a second opinion and keeping the current system for a few more years.
