Nothing really they're just a pain in the ***. Awesome units to do routine work on or even troubleshooting. But the ****ing components are impossible to source. Blower motors and condenser fan motors are made specifically and exclusively for AAON so of course you get raped. Nothing comparable from Grainger or RE Michels, or anywhere. (I like that place by the way. 
) I've never had trouble finding **** for most York, Carrier, and Trane units. I don't know... $600 for a 3 hp, 480 3-phase, 1725 rpm, belt driven blower motor. Of course it's no big deal because I'm not buying it, the company is. But I still have to listen to all the BS from the store about it being too hot
. Not to mention we're a multi-billion dollar corporation and we're on a nationwide strict spending budget. I need a new job...

I need a new job...Our top of the line Bryant/ Carrier residential units, Blower motor's on the Evolution line. Are very expensive. They are a direct drive , variable speed motor that is rectified from 120 v.a.c. to d.c., and can deliver different cfm based on multiple parameters all on the fly. Well retail price for just the motor is somewhere around $900 dollars just for the motor,does not include labor.

oem parts are nothing new, just getting more and more normal for the hvac business. one other place might be united electric motors, i think they're in washington, pa now.
and that price isn't that bad for that motor, we got hit for $450 from trane for 1hp single phase cfm for a voyager rtu.

Looks like there's a few of us on here who do the same work.
I'm no expert, still learning a lot, but getting better each day. I take care of 6 different stores all with different setups. I don't have my recovery certification yet, but I do everything else.
One day I'm working with water cooled recip's... the next day I'm working on a York Screw chiller. (Totally clueless on chillers.)
I have one store with 21 total 20-ton York units. One store with four 90-ton Trane units and one 60-ton unit. Another store with 15 Carrier RTU's. One with a weird *** DX split system and some various RTU's. Ever see a 60 hp motor on an air handler? It's located in it's own room and you can't even open the door when that thing is running! I actually have three that are very similar setups. Then I have one store with water cooled reciprocating compressors and a sectional boiler... It's a different experience each day.
Overall, I do the most with RTU's. Some of that other commercial stuff is crazy.
Know of the best place to get parts for Lennox units? I need a heat exchanger and a damper motor.
