The blower motor pushes air through your ductwork. With expert maintenance, most blower motors last 16 to 20 years.

• PSC blower (Permanent Split Capacitor): Uses about 840 kWh per season (~$134/year).
• ECM blower (Electronically Commutated Motor): Uses about 270 kWh per season (~$43/year).

The difference: Choosing an ECM blower instead of a PSC can save about $1,800–$2,600 over 20 years. ECM motors also run quieter, adjust airflow automatically, and deliver steadier comfort.

Based on a 2,000 sq ft home at today’s 16¢/kWh rates:

• Standard 10–12 SEER system: ~$756 per summer.
• High-efficiency 26 SEER2 system: ~$302 per summer.
• Savings: ~$454 per summer (~$9,000–$13,000 over 20 years).

• Older systems: Single-stage compressors run ~12 hours/day.
• High-efficiency systems: Variable compressors & ECM motors usually hold comfort in ~8 hours/day or less.

• Too large: Short cycles, poor humidity control, wasted energy.
• Too small: Runs constantly but never catches up.

• Single-stage: On/off operation, lowest upfront cost.
• Two-stage: Runs low most of the time, high only in extreme heat.
• Variable-capacity: Adjusts in tiny increments, quietest and most efficient.

Replacement often makes sense when:

• The system is 12+ years old and not maintained properly
• Repairs are stacking up
• Energy bills keep rising
• Comfort is uneven, or system runs constantly
