Master Chief,

The number you gave does not seem to match the nomenclature of the current model ADP air handlers

You want to know whether the replacement is a PSC motor or an ECM motor. If it is an ECM motor, the installed price you gave seems reasonable. If it is a PSC motor, I would say it is on the high side.

The best thing to do is get a second estimate. You can also ask about the type of motor.

Should be part number off the motor itself including frame number, HP, RPMs. Many times these are off the shelf type motors and can be purchased from a motor shop. If it is a conventional PSC motor, I agree price is high but typical.

IMO

Also, check the capacitor before you buy a new motor. $900 is robbery.

Thanks everyone. dovetonsils That model comes directly from the unit. its possible this model has been discontinued. The air handler is 10 years old.

Take the bottom panel off and look at the motor number, and post it. The are about $150. They are charging you $750 to install it. I take it you weren't an engineer rating.

Exactly what issues are you having that come and go so frequently?

issue has been resolved. another company came to the house. This company did what the other company was supposed to do. The opened up the air handler and performed some diagnostics. The capacitor and relay needed to be replaced. motor is fine. thanks all.
