To learn more or schedule HVAC maintenance if you are experiencing problems with your HVAC blower motor or any other HVAC components, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> experts at Galmiche &amp; Sons in St. Louis today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_HVAC_Blower_Motor\"><\/span>What is an HVAC Blower Motor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To explain it in simple terms, a blower motor is a key part of your HVAC unit that ensures that your home temperature is set according to the thermostat. It is responsible for sending the conditioned air from the heat pump, air conditioner, or furnace into the entire home. Once the air is cooled\/heated, the blower turns a fan that forces this air through the ducts and out of the vents located in different parts of your house.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blower_Motor_Types\"><\/span>Blower Motor Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know the answer to what is a blower motor, it is important to understand the types. Every HVAC unit comes with two options for blower motors. The two types are single-speed blower motor and variable-speed blower motor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single Speed Blower<\/strong>: This type of blower motor turns on only when the temperature of your house (as indicated in the thermostat) increases or drops well past the set temperature. Once the appropriate indoor temperature is reached, it switches off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variable Speed Blower<\/strong>: This blower motor is quite different from the first one, as it comes with the ability to move at different speeds. As a result, the flow of air into your home can be better controlled. Also known as Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM), the variable speed blower motor is considered to be more energy-efficient as it runs at low speeds to provide continuous air circulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_Better_%E2%80%93_Variable_Speed_or_Single_Speed\"><\/span>Which is Better \u2013 Variable Speed or Single Speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-a-blower-motor-2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"What is an HVAC Blower Motor and what does it do?\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-a-blower-motor-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-a-blower-motor-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Single-speed blower motors and variable-speed blower motors are quite different from each other. The best way to understand them is with this example of a car with multiple gears. When driving a car, you will find that you have to switch gears based on what is needed, which is exactly what a variable speed blower motor does with its speed. A single-speed motor, on the other hand, runs at only one speed (full or nothing). So, here is what makes the variable speed motor better:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Variable speed motors consume only around 2-4 amps of electricity, making them more energy-efficient. Less energy consumption translates into lower utility bills.<\/li>\n<li>They prevent cold spots in your home by circulating air through the home more frequently.<\/li>\n<li>Variable-speed motors operate with lesser noise than single-speed ones.<\/li>\n<li>They deliver consistent performance and more comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Common_Issues_with_Blower_Motors\"><\/span>What are Common Issues with Blower Motors?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you understand what a blower motor is, it is important to understand the problems that can occur. Problems with your HVAC unit&rsquo;s blower are bound to occur from time to time, which is why regular maintenance is necessary for ensuring smooth operation. Common issues include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Faulty control or fan relay<\/li>\n<li>Faulty fan belt<\/li>\n<li>Faulty motor<\/li>\n<li>Bad wiring<\/li>\n<li>Weak or bad motor capacitor<\/li>\n<li>Blocked filter<\/li>\n<li>Climate control switch problem<\/li>\n<li>Debris-clogged blower wheel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_Your_HVAC_Unit_Servicing_with_Galmiche_Sons_Today\"><\/span>Schedule Your HVAC Unit Servicing with Galmiche &amp; Sons Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To prevent any blower motor problems from occurring in the first place, it is a good idea to get your HVAC unit serviced regularly (before the start of every winter or summer).
