Rheem 70-101729-08 Genuine OEM Blower Housing with Wheel Assembly
The PROTECH™ 70-101729-08 is a comprehensive Genuine OEM Blower Housing and Centrifugal Fan Wheel assembly engineered for Rheem, Ruud, and WeatherKing residential furnaces and air handlers. This assembly serves as the "lungs" of your HVAC system, containing the blower wheel that pulls air through the return and pushes conditioned air into your ductwork. Replacing the entire housing and wheel together ensures perfect factory-balanced rotation and maximum airflow efficiency.
Technical Performance:
This assembly features a high-grade galvanized steel housing designed to resist corrosion and dampen operational vibration. The internal blower wheel is precision-balanced to eliminate "wobble," which protects your blower motor’s bearings and ensures a whisper-quiet startup and run cycle. Being a Genuine OEM part, the 70-101729-08 meets the exact static pressure requirements of your furnace, preventing the restricted airflow or "whistling" noises often caused by generic, off-balance aftermarket wheels.
Key Features and Function:
- Factory-Balanced Airflow: The pre-installed blower wheel is balanced at the factory to prevent vibration and extend the life of the blower motor.
- Genuine OEM Fitment: Dimensions and mounting holes are pre-aligned for Rheem and Ruud blower decks, allowing for a "drop-in" replacement.
- Heavy-Duty Galvanized Construction: Built with corrosion-resistant steel to withstand the high-moisture and high-heat environments of modern HVAC systems.
- Noise Reduction Design: Precision-curved wheel blades move the maximum volume of air with minimal decibel output.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip: Check the Motor Shaft
When swapping this housing, inspect your existing blower motor shaft for rust or pitting. Use a piece of emery cloth to sand the shaft smooth before sliding it into the new blower wheel hub. Always ensure the set screw is tightened securely onto the "flat" side of the motor shaft to prevent the wheel from slipping or creating a dangerous imbalance during high-speed operation.

Michel & Siso are very knowledgeable and explain everything to where I could understand! Amazing experience! Thank you will always come here for any AC needs. Trustworthy and excellent customer service.

Happy Shouts From Our Thrilled Customers
William Bartlett
Cecil really saved me with troubleshooting tips over the phone. Thought I was going to have to replace the blower motor and ended up only needing a motor run capcitor. Thank you and God bless!
Riley Connolly
Cecil and Fidel were absolutely amazing and so helpful. We were happy they were open on Sunday, but was impressed with their knowledge and willingness to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need parts or service or install, I would recommend.
Cole Meger
Our AC went out during the hottest stretch of summer, and with a one-year-old at home, we were desperate for a quick fix. These guys came through big time — not only did they source the part faster than anyone else in the area, they also walked me through DIY troubleshooting while I waited. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and run by a solid local family. As someone who owns rental properties nearby, I’ll be sourcing all my HVAC parts from them moving forward. Highly recommend!
Carl T. Droste
Had a power outage last night and during the 100 degree heat today noticed that the AC was not blowing any cold air. Pulled the capacitors to have them checked and also took video of the relay making noise even with the breaker was off. The proprietor and her staff were very friendly and helpful. She had the video analyzed and confirmed something was wrong. She checked one of the capacitors was a little low. Capacitor replacement is the biggest ticket item for HVAC repair. It is hundreds of dollars with the a capacitor only about $20.
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Cecil and his family have been a life saver. I walked in with very little knowledge on parts let alone how to repair my unit. All I had was my brother in FL who knows more than I do and Cecil at HVAC Depot. With 2 young kids at home I couldn't afford to wait for a HVAC tech. Cecil walked me through what I needed to know, even after hours when the shop closed. I successfully repaired the fan motor and replaced the capacitor. Thank you HVAC team for being totally awesome. Prices were amazing and I'm forever going to support this small family business. You and your family are what Texas is all about!!!
Linda Robinson
I called HVAC Depot and was absolutely blown away by the fast, courteous and exceptional service. They were very knowledgeable about explaining what they were doing and what had happened to the ac system. If you ever need a HVAC team they are best and they won’t hesitate by coming out and they won’t leave until you are happy with the service. Thank you so much for your excellent service. Kudos to you Michelle for your amazing customer service.
Paul Hamer
My AC went out in our home on Friday night. I went out and got the capacitor details and took them here first thing Saturday morning. Lady at the counter was friendly and had the capacitor I needed! When I got home, I installed the capacitor and AC is all good!!
Jeff Ledesma
Awesome support and had everything I needed for an older unit! Then helped me out with the DIY!! Air conditioning back up and running at 100%!!
Thanks for everything
