4 yr old house hvac system. Tenant's did not replace air filter for over 6 months use, so the coil is covered in dust and the blower is not working due to excessive dust buildup. How much to replace blower and clean out coil?

AC not working sparks came down from vent and only regular air comes out but not as strong as before.

Your home air conditioner can account for between 40 to 60% of your energy bills. An optimized home air conditioning system can actually help you save energy and reduce your power bills. Unfortunately, many home owners make their residential AC purchase blindly without taking into consideration the house layout, weather, and other factors that affect energy usage.
Consider the layout of your house, including the floor area, the size of the windows, as well as insulation properties in the home before you make a home air conditioner selection. Many people assume that a large sized residential AC will cool the home faster, thus saving them energy bills. The opposite, in fact, is true. An over sized AC will cool in a short cycles, switching off every time it reaches the necessary temperature reading. This constant switching on and off can drag down the efficiency of your unit, and increase your energy bill. Besides, an over sized unit doesn't eliminate humidity, creating ripe conditions for mold infestation. A small sized residential air conditioner on the other hand, won't cool efficiently leading to constant use throughout the day. Modern house air conditioning units come with an SEER rating. This is the seasonal energy efficiency rating, and it's the recognized way to measure the efficiency of a residential central air conditioner. Ideally, a system with an SEER rating above ten is considered the bare minimum. A number of the most efficient home air conditioners are rated 14 and above
There are other things that can affect the efficiency of your house air conditioning system. For instance, placement of the AC unit, and whether it is a residential central air conditioner or a split AC system. If you need help determining the right size and type of home air conditioner for you, consult with a professional experienced residential air conditioning contractor. You can expect solid advice about an energy efficient unit for your home, as well as professional residential HVAC design, central air conditioning installation, air conditioning servicing and repairs.
