Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase air conditioning fans, both new and used, online

Buying a new HVAC fan probably means it comes with some type of warranty. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions exactly to keep the warranty intact. If you buy used, you can expect a savings of up to 50% but be prepared to eat your savings if you encounter a problem during or after installation. You'll have to cover the cost of replacement yourself.

I recommend: Save 40% to 60% on HVAC fans and accessories at OddballSUPPLY.com after you sign up for a free account. Electric Trading Company devotes a web page to fans, blowers and heaters.

But trusting the professionals will assure the job is done safely and correctly.
