[s-cars] Chirping sound from HVAC fan?

[Mark Strangways]

My fan has chirped so long that I don't have any idea when it started.
Maybe I should replace it, but I guess I don't consider it broke. And it's 
not worth any HP gains so what's the point :-).

My point I guess is they can last a real long time after they start to 
chirp.
YMMV of course.
