Motors make the HVAC world go ‘round — or, at the very least, in the HVAC business, they make the air go ‘round. And while some motors last for many years without any issues, others stop working prematurely, leading to frantic service calls from customers who no longer have heat or air conditioning due to a fried motor.
Motor failures can be attributed to a number of causes. To minimize motor imperfections, contractors must stress the importance of a comprehensive inspection, properly identify and diagnose the root cause of the deficiency, and be able to explain the failure to customers in terms they’ll understand.
