carrier 8000 variable speed furnace
My 10 yr old Carrier 8000VS furnace has been running all week (heating fine the area near the furnace but not the distant areas of the house)without the blower motor functioning, so I assume I have a bad blower motor.
The cost for a replacement motor is an astronomical $1400 so I am hoping for a cheaper fix. Could there be another (cheaper fix) cause for this problem? If not, perhaps a cheaper solution such as replacing it with a cheaper (non-variable speed)motor?
