📦 What “Surplus” Means

• Surplus motors are often new old stock (NOS) or unused spares from warehouses.
• They may come without original packaging or warranty.
• Pricing is usually lower than new production units, making them attractive for cost-sensitive replacements.
• Functionally, if unused, they perform the same as new motors, but buyers should verify condition and compatibility before installation.

🔍 Notes on GE HVAC Motors

• GE no longer manufactures fractional-horsepower HVAC motors directly; production has shifted to Genteq, a division of Regal Beloit.
• The 5KC43 prefix indicates a general-purpose AC motor series.
• Motors in this series are commonly used in legacy HVAC systems, so surplus units are often sought for replacements in older equipment.
