HVAC Question: Dunkirk Boiler Inducer blower motor cost.

[Clarence Martin]

Got the Estimate back to replace that Inducer Blower Motor on my Dunkirk XEB-3 Boiler.

$105 for labor

$398 for the Inducer Draft Blower Motor,

Total with tax is just over $547


On the price for the Inducer , is that too high or is that what they cost ? I tried calling a few places that sell them, but they will only sell to Contractors, so they would not give me the price on the Inducer .

I'm a heating contractor. That price is what I would sell it for. The labor would be lower where I am though. Inducer motors are notoriously expensive, especially on units older than ten years.
