Victor, if in fact you have a DC blower motor instead of an AC one, that
information is correct.
They are referred to has digital motors, DC motors, solid state motors.
The bottom line is they are a 12 volt DC motor that with proper adapters could
be run by your standard car battery.
Now depending on the speed setting allowed by your unit as compared to AC
motor speed settings will vary the cost comparisons. Lets say you have a one
third HP AC motor and it runs non-stop for a month, depending on how clean the
system and unit is, it will cost approximately 14 to 21 dollars. The air
circulation moderated the warmer temps on higher floors with lower temps on
lower levels and allows more comfort.
Now with a DC motor that ramps up from 0 rpm to max speed with no starting
surge and has an air flow equal to the one third HP AC motor, the power
consumed might be 35 bucks a year or so for a non-stop operation and less.
They can also be programmed to run multiple speed variations depending on what
you want and cost less than 20 dollars a year. Quite a savings and boost to
comfort. These motors have been on the market for at least 15 years, and quite
popular the last 10 as products have been added by the slower companies adding
the newer technology..................................bob
