Where to buy HVAC surplus stuff in Calgary?

[Stainless]

I'm looking for a place that sells HVAC surplus parts. Specifically, I want a 115 V furnace blower fan and squirrel cage to hack into a garage exhaust setup because I'm sick of having black snot after a welding night.

Shockingly, anything on Kijiji is usually overpriced garbage, and I'm not really interested in buying new.

Any ideas?

Could try habitat for humanity... You know... That store that the homeless people sell there stolen crap from construction sites too.

Simon's right. There's a plumber here on the board that also installs the occasional pedestal fan that can help you out with this.



Pro-tip: He will probably accept payment in beer, cigars, or XJ parts.

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, I've thought about this, but my welding table is on wheels, so it wouldn't really work in my case. I think it's a really neat idea for a static welding bench, though.

I haven't been there in awhile, but I don't remember seeing parts like this last time I wandered around HFH. I'll check it out.

Fans and Motors. 12th ST just north of 32 AVE.... west side of 12th. Dude's name is Jeff. He will have blower housings and fans and motors.

You're kinda fucked, then, aren't ya?

Very angry for a plumber, aren't ya?

Seriously though. If kijiji stuff is overpriced junk, and he doesn't want to buy new.....

Todd, the A/C at your house won't be working this year.

Perhaps PM wsquared this summer. Apparently he may have some parts for sale for a system that is too expensive to repair. Also, should you ever need a plumber, immortals your man.

Hey Simon,
My TV crapped out on me. I need you to repair it. Willing to pay you in pocket lint, and a bucket full of sarcasm.

Hey, man, you can be as snarky as you want here, but I'm not paying $150 for a blower that's advertised as "nearly new!!!!111" but hasn't actually been nearly new since 2005. I'm also not really interested in throwing a couple hundred bucks at an actually new blower for my garage when a throw-away from a scrapped furnace would do just fine. I can't speak for you, but I certainly can't afford to waste money like that even if I was willing.

But, I appreciate your advice about the place on 12th. I will look into it and also contact some furnace replacement operations to see if they're willing to sell parts from the furnaces that they replace.

So a used fan for half price is seriously overpriced?  Sounds like you want a new fan for dirt cheap/free.  The way I see it is kijiji crap and used crap from a surplus store is still going to be a gamble, if you don't want the gamble stop complaining and go buy new.

You can't really get mad at Trevor for getting upset either.  He's a nice guy but I'm sure he's pretty busy and doesn't really want to spend half a day at a strangers garage for $15 of lucky lager.
