Frequently Asked Questions
Which AE Air units do these blower motors fit?
Our remanufactured ECM X13 motors cover the AE Air water source vertical air handlers on the WSVX platform: WSVX036, WSVX040 and WSVX042. All three are 1/2 HP assemblies and every motor ships 100% programmed, so the speed taps and rotation match the original. The model number is on the cabinet data plate, and the tonnage sits in the last three digits: 036 for three tons, 040 and 042 for the larger cabinets. Our HVAC serial number lookup will decode it if the label is worn.
Why does an AE Air motor share its part number with First Co.?
The WSVX water source cabinets are built on a shared platform, so the same blower assembly is fitted whether the unit is badged AE Air, HYDROTECH or First Co. That is useful when you are sourcing: if nothing comes up under AE Air, search the WSVX number itself. Underneath it is the standard GE Genteq ECM X13 platform, and a motor pulled from a First Co. WSVX042 is the same part as one from an AE Air WSVX042. Match the WSVX number, not the badge.
How to identify if my AE Air blower motor needs replacement?
Determining whether your AE Air blower motor requires replacement involves observing various symptoms indicative of malfunction. These symptoms may manifest as weakened airflow, unusual noises emanating from the system such as grinding or squealing, or even a complete cessation of air circulation. Upon noticing any of these signs, it is imperative to promptly address the issue to prevent further damage to your HVAC system.
What is a remanufactured HVAC blower motor?
A remanufactured HVAC blower motor is a component that has been restored to a like-new condition through a comprehensive refurbishment process.
During remanufacturing, the blower motor undergoes thorough inspection, disassembly, and cleaning. Any worn or damaged parts are replaced with new or refurbished components to ensure optimal performance and reliability. The motor is then reassembled, tested, and calibrated to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications.
What are the main advantages of a remanufactured blower motor compared to a new original one?
Opting for a remanufactured HVAC blower motor offers several advantages. Firstly, remanufactured motors are typically more cost-effective than purchasing a new original one, providing significant savings. On average, opting for a remanufactured blower motor can save you approximately 30% to 50% compared to purchasing a new original blower motor.
Additionally, choosing a remanufactured motor contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing waste through the reuse of existing materials.
Do you provide any warranty for your remanufactured blower motors?

How much does it cost to replace an AE Air blower motor?
The cost associated with replacing AE Air blower motors can vary based on several factors, including the specific model of the motor, any additional parts required for installation, and potential labor fees if opting to hire a professional for the job. Additionally, the overall duration of the replacement process may vary, typically taking several hours to complete depending on the complexity of the installation and any unforeseen complications encountered along the way.
Can I replace an AE Air blower motor myself or do I need a professional?
Deciding whether to undertake the replacement of an AE Air blower motor yourself or enlist the services of a professional depends on your level of experience and familiarity with HVAC systems. Given the technical nature of the task, replacing a blower motor necessitates a certain degree of expertise in handling electrical connections and system disassembly. Attempting the replacement without prior experience may pose risks such as electrical hazards, improper installation leading to system malfunction, or potentially voiding warranty coverage.
