Air Handler Repair services

An air conditioning unit consists of two parts: one located outside, and one located inside–the component located inside–is the air handler. If you’re wondering why it doesn’t come directly to mind, you probably haven’t seen it much, if at all. The air handler is typically located in the attic or in a small closet. This part of your air conditioner typically contains the blower, heating, and cooling elements, and a few other parts. Its main function is to circulate warmed or cooled air through your home via ductwork.

Because your air handler contains the blower and is responsible for circulating air, it is a vital part of your home’s HVAC unit. When you call Call Dad AC & Heating to inspect your air conditioner annually, we will ensure everything is functioning efficiently. It is also imperative to keep your air filters clean and have us replace them when needed.

During your annual air handler maintenance, Amigo AC & Heating will:

Checking for noise and vibrations that could indicate electrical or mechanical problems

Lubricate the motor and blower bearing

Ensure that the motor belt and pulley are working correctly

Look for damaged wiring or loose connections

Inspect the unit’s bypass valve

Air handlers circulate air around your home through ductwork. An air handler is installed inside and works in conjunction with an outdoor air conditioning and/or heat pump condenser unit helping to make the air hot or cold.

Air handlers move air around. They aren’t involved with temperature control. Air conditioners are designed only to cool air by absorbing heat from the outdoor air.

The lifespan of an air handler is determined by climate, the quality of the installation, and how well it is maintained. They typically last between 10 -15 years.
