How To Buy A Replacement Blower Wheel

Dirty blower wheels can often be cleaned as a part of a servicing but are also inexpensive to replace if they become damaged. You should be comfortable working with your heating and cooling system before attempting to clean or replace the blower wheel. To remove or replace the blower wheel, turn the unit's power off, short the capacitor (such as with an insulated screwdriver), then remove the wires from the blower assembly. On the underside of the blower assembly is a set screw, known as the "hub," which holds the motor shaft and blower wheel together.

Who Makes Blower Wheels?

Blower wheels are typically available from the manufacturer of the HVAC unit and from third-party sources. Manufacturers of blower wheels include Carrier, Teledyne Laars, ProTech and others. Many online stores carry uncommonly found blower wheels for older or discontinued units. Some vendors will also make blower wheels if the type needed is unavailable. You will typically need to provide sizing information to receive a quote for a custom blower wheel.
