Fasco A196 1-Speed Blower Motor 115V 1.35Amp

The Regal Rexnord - Fasco A196 motor is a dependable replacement option for single-speed airflow applications in residential HVAC systems. This single-phase motor operates on standard household current (115 volts) and offers a modest horsepower rating of 1/25 horsepower (HP). It efficiently converts electrical energy into rotational energy, spinning a shaft at a constant speed of 3200 revolutions per minute (RPM). The A196 motor finds primary use as a blower motor within furnaces and air handling units. A blower motor's function is to circulate conditioned air (either heated or cooled) throughout the ductwork of your home. In a furnace, for example, the A196 would power the blower fan, drawing air that's been heated by the furnace's heat exchanger and pushing it through the ductwork to deliver warmth throughout your living space. Similarly, in an air handling unit, the motor would circulate conditioned air throughout the ductwork system, providing consistent heating or cooling as needed. Replacing a worn-out A196 motor can significantly improve the performance of your HVAC system. A properly functioning motor ensures efficient airflow circulation. This translates to improved comfort control in your home, as warm or cool air is delivered consistently throughout the various rooms. Additionally, a properly functioning motor can potentially contribute to improved system efficiency by reducing strain on the furnace or air handler. At a manageable weight of around 5.85 pounds, the A196 is easy to handle and install within compatible HVAC units. Be sure to consult your specific unit's manual for compatibility information before ordering.
