Keeping another one around isn't my idea of cost-effective in a situation like this, but what 'ya gonna do..... no airflow means no cool.
If I owned the house I am living in instead of renting it I'd replace all the motors in the HVAC system with these: http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Motors/..... Then I'd step up to 480V and power them from PowerFlex 70 drives.

It would be slightly overkill and not at all cost effective but it'd be bulletproof, not to mention all the tinkering possibilities you get when all your motors are controlled by a programmable VFD.
