In the case of standard motors, repair may not always be the best option. The motor service centre should be able to offer premium efficiency replacement alternatives to repair which may save you money. Bear in mind, however, that many motors are special and not readily available off the shelf. This may make repairs the best option. The motor service centre probably specializes in certain sizes and types of motors. If the motor is an ordinary one, they should be able to offer replacement models to meet your needs in a timely manner. Here are a few basic issues that arise as far as motor rewinds are concerned.
How you can get the motor in for repairs
Most service centres can pick up the motor but in some cases you need to deliver it to them. In the case of a very large motor or a motor that is located at a remote site, some coordination with a crane or other material handling equipment may be necessary. Some service centres are also licensed contractors and can install or remove the motors for you. If not, they may be able to suggest a qualified contractor who can perform these services, if you need them.
What is the cost of the repair
You should expect to receive an accurate cost estimate for motor rewinds but the repair costs can vary once the shop actually starts the repair because they may find hidden problems that were not readily apparent on their first inspection. You need to be prepared to work with them to obtain the best repair possible.
Possible repair options
Many service centres can offer repair or replacement options. In some cases the motor — because of its age or type — may not be readily or economically replaced. In other cases, a new motor may be the best way to go. You need to work with your service centre to find the best motor rewinds solution for you.
What the repairs involve
The service centre should tell you if the motor needs rewinding or whether replacement and clean up procedures are a necessity. They should tell you what tests they performed to substantiate these findings.
How long it takes to complete the repair
A good repair including motor rewinds can take several days or more. Cutting corners on repairs can cost you money and even result in premature motor failure.
