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?

If your current home air conditioner is several years old, then you are likely stuck with an inefficient model that inflates power bills. Spending money on air conditioner maintenance and repair of your current unit can be a waste. Consider replacing your residential AC with a newer more energy efficient model that comes with an efficiency rating displayed. A one time investment can lead to monthly savings on your utility bills. Plus, newer models are guaranteed to be more reliable and better at controlling humidity.
The proper size of house air conditioning system is critical to achieve high energy efficiency. A home air conditioner that is too large for a room will operate in brief cooling cycles whenever the desired temperature is reached. Not only does this mean energy wastage, because the system keeps switching on and off when the desired temperature is reached, but these shorter cycles fail to remove moisture, increasing humidity and the potential for mold growth. A residential air conditioner that's too small on the other hand, won't be able to coo the room effectively during peak season, effectively, thereby defeating the purpose of installing a home AC. Plus, the system is forced to run continuously to meet the home's cooling needs, thereby inflating your energy bills. Look for a home air conditioner with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). These are more expensive, but you'll be able to make up the costs in operating savings.
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) that is displayed prominently on every home air conditioner is the best measure of the system's energy efficiency. Look for a residential AC with a higher SEER. If you have trouble selecting the right kind of home air conditioning unit for your home, trust the advice of a reliable and professional residential air conditioning contractor. A home AC technician will not only give you sound advice about the size and type of AC for your needs, but will also undertake residential central air conditioner Installation, HVAC ducting, maintenance and repairs.
