Fasco A269 Inducer Motor 208-230V 1/35Hp

The Regal Rexnord - Fasco A269 Inducer Motor is a key component responsible for safe and efficient operation within your gas-fired furnace or some unit heater models. Unlike blower motors that circulate air throughout your living space, inducer motors handle a specific task within the appliance itself. This single-phase motor operates on a higher voltage range of 208-230 volts and boasts a modest horsepower rating of 1/35 horsepower (HP). Despite the lower horsepower, it efficiently spins at a high speed of 3000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The A269 inducer motor works by creating airflow within the furnace or unit heater. This airflow serves two crucial purposes:
Combustion: The motor draws in fresh air from the surrounding environment. This incoming air mixes with the natural gas supply to create a proper air-fuel mixture for clean and efficient burning within the furnace or unit heater.
Venting: The induced airflow helps vent combustion gases safely out of the appliance and your home. This prevents the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, ensuring the safe operation of your heating system. Replacing a worn-out A269 inducer motor can significantly improve the performance and safety of your gas-fired appliance. A properly functioning motor ensures proper air intake for efficient combustion and complete venting of exhaust gases. This translates to cleaner and more efficient operation of your furnace or unit heater, while also prioritizing safety within your home. At a lightweight 5.04 pounds, the A269 is easy to handle and install within compatible HVAC units. Remember to consult your specific unit's manual for compatibility information before ordering.
