A little DIY can go a long way. Air conditioner fan motor blew out. repairman wanted $250. Best online price for the part was $76 plus shipping, and it would take "3-5 business days" to get here. (Dude, it's August in Las Vegas...) Carlson Electric, @ 709 N. Main St., Las Vegas, rebuilt it for $45.80 out the door, SAME DAY SERVICE. They will rebuilt any electric motor (HVAC, Generators, Pool Pumps, etc.) $50 or less, usually with a one day turnaround.
