About 'blower motor replacement cost'-should i run my furnace fan all the time








               Part               1               (Time               frame:               early               February)               
               I               went               to               Home               Depot               earlier               this               week               and               bought               $1000               worth               of               insulation               with               the               idea               that               I               would               do               a               little               to               stop               wasting               energy               and               cut               my               summer               electric               bills               by               hundreds               of               dollars,               while               taking               advantage               of               the               energy               tax               credit               that               is               currently               available               (free               money               from               the               stimulus               bill!).

The               Home               Depot               man,               whom               I               might               add               is               a               very               persuasive               and               successful               salesman,               said               that               two               reasonably               capable               folks               could               install               the               75               bags               of               insulation               I'd               purchased               in               just               about               2-3               hours.

With               my               keen               engineering               brain               I               quickly               calculated               that               I               could               pay               my               20               year               old               son               $15               an               hour               and               my               13               year               old               son               $7               an               hour               and               we               could               do               the               job               for               less               than               $75               of               labor.

Heck,               the               blower               they               lent               us               had               a               picture               of               a               petite               young               woman               in               a               frilly               smock               donning               a               paper               mask               handling               the               job               with               ease.

How               hard               could               it               be?

I               assumed               (wrongfully               so               -               this               in               literary               terms               is               referred               to               as               "foreshadowing")               that               among               the               five               of               us               Harris's               there               were               at               least               a               combined               two               reasonably               capable               persons               …               I               was               wrong.

So,               to               make               a               long               story               short,               Saturday               afternoon               we               spent               from               2               PM               to               6               PM               and               managed               to               get               roughly               4.2               of               the               75               bales               dispersed               into               our               attic               which               now               has               two,               what               I               would               call,               size               13               foot               "vent               holes"               protruding               into               our               living               space               --               one               in               our               laundry               room               ceiling               and               one               in               our               master               closet               ceiling.

I               consider               these               "vent               holes"               to               be               an               undesired               consequence               of               the               insulation               dispersal               process               and               therefore               I               will               choose               to               repair               them               rather               than               leave               them               for               the               next               homeowner               to               admire.

Luckily               no               one               was               seriously               injured,               although               my               older               son               was               walking               with               a               slight               limp               afterward.

I               again               used               my               keen               engineering               brain               to               calculate               the               cost               of               repair               for               the               "vent               holes"               at               about               $60               each               (from               a               handyman               I               know)               and               by               extrapolating               the               labor               time               and               repair               costs               for               the               completion               of               the               dispersal               of               the               remaining               70.8               bags               of               insulation,               and               the               ensuing               cosmetic               damage               and               potential               medical               bills,               my               total               cost               for               the               job               would               be               roughly               $12,682               (I               used               an               excel               spread               sheet               to               calculate               this)               and               require               approximately               288               man-hours               of               labor               (not               including               medical               personnel),               seven               4               x               8               sheets               of               drywall,               232               ft               of               drywall               tape,               and               three               trips               to               the               emergency               room.

Don't               say               anything               about               the               possible               expense               for               the               divorce               lawyer,               alimony,               child               custody               considerations,               and               child               support.

So,               now               I               will               hire               a               handyman               to               repair               my               vent               holes               and               complete               the               insulation               job               probably               at               a               cost               far               greater               than               any               savings               I               would               have               realized               within               the               time               span               that               I               plan               to               stay               living               here               at               my               current               address.
               Part               2               (Completing               the               job)
               On               Monday               we               completed               the               dispersal               of               the               remaining               70+               bails               of               insulation               into               our               3000               sq               ft               attic,               which               now               looks               as               if               it               was               downwind               from               a               significant               volcanic               eruption.

The               good               news               is               that               the               whole               insulation               job               cost               me               only               $335               for               labor-which               is               only               about               4               times               my               original               estimate               (I               am               a               Government               engineer,               what               did               you               expect?)               plus               9               hours               of               my               time               that               otherwise               would               have               been               spent               celebrating               (read               as               lounging               around)               President's               Day.

After               hoisting               up               70+               25               lb               bales               of               insulation               and               feeding               them               into               a               noisy               cantankerous               hopper               style               insulation               blower               (designated               as               Blower               #               1               --               more               foreshadowing),               I               was               sore               for               3               days.

I               will               not               go               into               much               detail,               but               after               dispersing               approximately               3               bales               of               insulation,               the               aforementioned               hopper               style               insulation               blower               (#1)               did               suffer               what               I               would               call               an               unfortunate               mishap               involving               twisted/broken               rotating               metal               parts               followed               by               a               raucous               clanging               noise               that,               had               it               not               been               for               one               key               safety               shield,               may               have               resulted               in               careening               metal               projectiles               that               would               have               surely               slashed               through               my               garage               door               opener               motor               mounted               to               the               underside               of               my               garage               ceiling.

Let's               just               say               that               the               aforementioned               hopper               style               insulation               blower               was               prematurely               retired               from               service.
               I               believe               that               the               Home               Depot               service               representative               that               checked               in               the               "defective               equipment"               was               so               flabbergasted               by               the               situation;               i.e.,               the               prospect               of               property               destruction               and/or               bodily               injury,               and               the               ensuing               plethora               of               paperwork               that               would               have               been               required,               that               he               gladly               issued               me               a               replacement               hopper               style               insulation               blower               (blower               #               2),               no               questions               asked,               for               the               completion               of               the               job.
               In               the               end,               it               was               all               worth               it               though               as               I               seemed               to               have               redeemed               myself               with               my               very               benevolent               spouse,               and               hopefully,               will               see               a               significant               energy               bill               savings               this               summer.

The               moral               of               the               story               is:               buy               a               house               that               is               already               insulated.
