4 yr old house hvac system. Tenant's did not replace air filter for over 6 months use, so the coil is covered in dust and the blower is not working due to excessive dust buildup. How much to replace blower and clean out coil?

Your home air conditioner can account for between 40 to 60% of your energy bills. An optimized home air conditioning system can actually help you save energy and reduce your power bills. Unfortunately, many home owners make their residential AC purchase blindly without taking into consideration the house layout, weather, and other factors that affect energy usage.
The size of the residential air conditioning unit plays a big part in determining energy efficiency. For instance, a residential AC that's too large will be forced to run in a series of short cycles. Every time the unit senses that the optimum temperature has been reached, it switches off, and then restarts again. This constant switching on and off can mean drastic wastage of energy. Besides, these intermittent cooling cycles do nothing to suck out moisture levels in the home. Humidity levels rise, and mold can begin to grow. On the other hand, a residential air conditioner that's too small will not be able to cool the house efficiently. The home air conditioner will have to be kept switched on continuously to meet the increased cooling needs during hot days. The result is a hugely inflated power bill at the end of the month. The best way to determine the efficiency of a home air conditioning system is to check for the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio(SEER). Generally, an AC with a higher SEER can be taken to be the most energy efficient.
If looking for a home air conditioning system that offers maximum operating efficiency seems confusing, consult a professional residential air conditioning contractor. He will not only be able to advise you about the right home air conditioner for your house, but will also help with residential HVAC design and installation. You can also rely on him for installation of residential central air conditioners, HVAC installation, HVAC ducting and HVAC maintenance.
