A blower motor is the
component within a
home's HVAC system.
The motor blows heated air
through vents when the heating
system is in use. Conversely, some
blower motors blow cold air when
the air conditioning system is in use.
There are two main types of blower
motors: single-speed motors and
variable-speed motors.
What Does The Blower Motor Do?
The blower motor controls the airflow
for the heating and cooling system;
it is one of the main components for
the HVAC system to operate properly.
The blower motor turns on the fan in
your HVAC system, allowing the air to
circulate out of the system and into the
rooms of your home.
In layman's terms, a blower is
a device which increases the
velocity of air that is passed through it.
Effectively, a blower is designed
to move air and gas at low to high
pressure to perform a specific function.
Simply put, an HVAC blower
motor is the component that turns
on your system's fan that pushes
the hot or cold air out of the unit
and into your home.
Air heating systems such
as electric and gas furnaces
, air conditioners, heat pumps,
and mini splits all utilize a b
lower motor to transfer this air.
The blower motor turns the
blower fan, which forces air
through the HVAC system and ou
t of the car's vents. When the HVAC
system is set to heat, the air from the
blower motor is directed across the
heater core and into the cabin to warm
things up.
