Spoke with homeowners about motor that was replaced and that the sounds are completely normal and any psc motor would make same sound, they asked about about replacing with the original from carrier and I reminded them I did give them the option a couple times that I could send it as a quote if they wanted to think about it and if the original it would have a wait time of a few days and be more expensive and they did want the repair then. I informed them that we cannot repair old motors as they wanted to know if I could’ve repaired the original. I apologized that it’s not as quiet as they’d hope but they would all make a motor sound and I wouldn’t want them to have to spend more to have the same issue. See notes.
