Converting furnace motor to ECM - where to start?
I spoke to the sales rep of a local (and reputedly very reputable) HVAC dealer and service company who told me not to bother replacing the HP until it goes.
Since the HP and air handler may have another 5-10 years of life left, if not more (he used to install 80% Carrier back in the era when my current house was built and thinks it should last another 5-10+ years - circuit boards re what goes these days).
I've heard that savings from converting the motor from AC to ECM can be significant. Just wondering where and how to start? Size of the motor and mounts, and voltage as a start?
TIA
