Should Fan Blade Be Replaced with Motor Replacement

Question:

Im replacing old V2044 motor with new BVD0218 motor. Will I need the new replacement fan blades or can I still use the original fan blades. Do I use the old piece transformer or whatever its called. Will I have to replace that also? Thanks

It is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the fan blade if you are changing over from an older model motor to a new one because the old blade will usually not fit the new motor correctly.

If you have the Ventline Ventadome, you will need this Ventline fan blade # BVD0215-00. If you happen to have the Ventline Vanair, you will need Ventline's fan blade # BVD0217-00.

The motor comes with mounting hardware and will mount to your current setup with the supplied hardware, in some cases you may have to drill a hole into the existing bracket to mount it properly.
