  • $578.00


The Bard HVAC 8106-068-0152BX Blower Motor is a high-performance 1/2HP variable speed motor designed specifically for Bard wall-mounted HVAC units. Operating at 230V (208/230V), this OEM programmed motor provides precise airflow modulation to maintain consistent indoor climate control and maximize system efficiency. As a direct 8106-068-0152BX replacement for the discontinued S8106-068-0152 and S8106-068-0153 models, it ensures seamless compatibility with existing unit electronics and control logic. The variable-speed technology allows for smooth adjustments in air output, reducing noise levels and lowering energy consumption compared to standard fixed-speed motors. Built with overload protection and heavy-duty components, this motor is engineered for reliable service in demanding commercial and residential applications. For HVAC technicians and contractors, using this genuine Bard replacement part ensures the system operates within original factory specifications, maintaining the integrity of the heat exchanger and cooling coils through optimized static pressure management.

Key Benefits for Contractors:
  • Precision Airflow Control: The variable-speed blower motor adjusts CFM output dynamically, ensuring optimal HVAC system performance and comfort.
  • Direct OEM Swap: Engineered as a drop-in Bard replacement motor for S8106-068-0152, eliminating the need for mounting modifications or complex wiring changes.
  • Energy Efficiency: Integrated 230V 1/2HP design reduces operational costs by matching motor RPM to the specific heating or cooling load.
  • Enhanced Durability: Features robust internal construction and overload protection to withstand continuous operation in wall-mount environments.
  • Quiet Operation: Advanced motor ramping profiles minimize the "air rush" sound and mechanical vibration during startup and high-speed cycles.
Common Questions & Technical Insights:

Is the 8106-068-0152BX pre-programmed for specific Bard models?
Yes, this is an OEM programmed variable speed motor. It is flashed with specific logic to work with the control boards found in select Bard wall-mount units. Always verify your unit’s serial number to ensure the programming matches your specific cabinet size and tonnage.

Can I use this motor to replace a single-speed PSC motor?
No, this 1/2HP variable speed motor requires a compatible ECM/variable-speed control board. It is not a universal replacement for standard 230V induction motors without significant control system upgrades.

What are the primary indicators that this blower motor needs replacement?
Common failure points in HVAC blower motors include module burnout due to voltage surges, bearing wear leading to high-pitched whining, or failure to ramp up despite receiving a signal from the low-voltage control circuit.
