Is $1,100 to replace an inducer motor a fair price?
Project Details
I am an experienced DIY homeowner and have previously repaired this HVAC unit. My Rheem combination A/C and propane furnace, which is 13 years old, had its inducer motor diagnosed as failing due to low amp draw (0.08 amps vs 0.34 amps on the label). However, the motor starts fine and makes no noise. I've checked for blockages and found none. I'm questioning if replacement is necessary based solely on low amp draw, especially since I have a wood stove and live in a mild climate where it rarely gets near freezing.
