Hi, I've read other threads about the Breckwell fans but didn't find all the answers to my questions.
I have a 1994 Breckwell P32I that has used about 1 ton of pellets each year since it was installed. I've had two convection motor failures and two combustion motors fail.
Since their prices are 'high' and they seem to fail even with good cleaning & oiling.
Should I keep using their motors?
Are the bearings in the old style replaceable?
Are the bearings in the new 'open' style (supposedly ball type) replaceable?
The last motor they sent was the open design with a 3000 rpm motor speed and a smaller squirrel cage blower. The motor for the old assembly that has bearing noise was about 1550 rpm with a bigger squirrel cage.
Is the higher speed motor "not installed yet" going to be noisier?
What would possibly be a better brand motor or fan assembly be?
About chimney cleaning, how often should the exhaust stainless 4" flexible pipe be cleaned? It is about a 23' foot rise installed inside my old chimney?
