An air handler is a crucial component of your HVAC system, especially for your air conditioner or heat pump. This unit consists of evaporator coils, ventilation parts such as filters, and a blower. It sits alongside your AC and helps distribute cool air throughout your home. The ducts send cool air from the AC into the handler, which then distributes it throughout your home.

Reasons To Have an Air Handler

Air handlers help push hot or cold air through your home. They are especially useful if you have a heat pump. This additional system helps distribute air around your home, reducing the wear and tear on a heat pump. This extra help will improve the longevity of your system and ensure it’s working properly for years to come.

If you have a traditional oil, gas, or electric furnace, you may not need an air handler. A furnace already comes with a blower to push air through the ducts, so an air handler may not be necessary.

When your air handler gets worn out or breaks down, our expert technicians will take care of the problem. We’ll remove your current unit and install a brand-new unit that pairs with the rest of your HVAC system. Every home is different, and we tailor our extensive air handler installation services to meet your specific needs.

Installing a new air handler can take around 8 hours. While we work, our certified technicians will make sure you get updates every step of the way. We’ll pay extra attention to the details and check everything is installed and connected properly so your system is ready to go.

Signs You Need To Replace Your Air Handler

While air handlers are designed to last for years, nothing is indestructible. Knowing how to troubleshoot your system can help you know when it’s time for a replacement.

Signs you may need a new air handler include:

• Poor Airflow: You should have a steady flow of air from the ducts. A weak or inconsistent airflow can signal something wrong with the air handler. From clogs to frozen components, a professional technician can diagnose the problem and create a personalized solution.
• Increased Energy Bills: It’s normal for your energy bill to fluctuate slightly from month to month, but a sudden spike can indicate that something in your HVAC system is not working properly.
• A Frozen Air Conditioner: If your air conditioner is covered in ice during the summer, this can point towards a refrigerant leak or malfunctioning air handler.
• Aged HVAC System: Older HVAC systems and air handlers lose efficiency and require more frequent repairs. If your system is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement.

When your air handler starts to fail, you may be susceptible to poor air quality, uncomfortable home temperatures, and other potential problems. No one wants to deal with a warm home in the middle of summer, and our air handler repair services will make your home comfortable again.

From clogged air filters to a failed blower motor, our team is trained to handle it all. We’re available when you need us, and we’ll work to get your system back up and running in no time.
