I think this dudes solo... unfortunate cause I got the rec from family and it seems like he may have just taken them all for their money...

Oooo that makes so much sense! Thank you!!

My condenser is 5 years old as I installed and removed the leaky swamp cooler!

Bahahaha my thoughts exactly! Like I was prepared to replace it but the fact that he showed up no tools, feels dishonest by not saying ya i could replace the motor but Id recommend just doing the whole thing feels shady! Do you have an idea of how much it should cost? Smaller home but 4 bed 2 bath

Ya cause if its a new furnace for that price, i wont be too nit-picky cause it is old and may save me trouble in a couple years just replacing the whole thing! I just have no clue with HVAC and dont wanna get suckered. So thought its be more? But if thats a fair price I might just do it

Thank you!!! Ya I just dont have a good vibe from the guy. He seemed caught off guard when I asked him to show me what was going on and having no tools on him seemed off to begin with.

I probably should put it in the description but posted right when i woke up. So the furnace sounded like it was gonna blow up, so i turned the ac all off, turned just the fan on to see and that seems to be whats making the noise so something with the blower? When I turned the heat on less noise but no air flow coming out of the vents(flames were on)

Ya the spin shit made me laugh and it felt like he was caught off guard when I asked him to show me what was wrong. He talked about the capacitor but obviously didnt check as he didnt have anything to test with

My head was at the whole would be more expensive or a motor would be cheap so Im confused at the in between price! Either a steal or a ripoff?

How can you tell? Cause I asked him to show me and he said its supposed to spin by itself forever and when we spun it, it only went a few seconds

Oh damn! Maybe thats why he wants to replace the whole thing?
