Is $1,200 to replace ECM motor a fair price?
Project Details
My AC unit fan stopped blowing, though I could still hear power and clicking. I turned off the system and had a technician come out. He initially suspected the capacitor but then diagnosed it as the ECM motor needing replacement. I'm looking for thoughts on these quotes.
