Having trouble with your AC or air handler? Our licensed technicians are ready to help you with all of your central air conditioning repair needs.
What Is an Air Handler?
Air conditioners are made of two separate components that both need to be working to keep you cool. The air compressor is like the motor of a car. It does the work that provides the cooling power of the central air conditioner. The air handler is like the wheels of a car. It is responsible for distributing cool air just like the wheels are responsible for transferring power to the road.
The air handler can be located as a part of the compressor in a package unit or it can be located indoors in a residential unit. The air handler is made up of ductwork and powerful blowers that move air across chilled coils. When it fails to do this, all kinds of problems can be the result.
Signs That Your Air Handler Is Damaged
The air handler is such a major part of your air conditioner that when it has problems they are usually very apparent. Luckily, quick repairs from our technicians can restore service to you in no time. Some of the problems to help you identify air handler problems are:
- Poor Air Quality: All of the air that flows around your home or business passes through the air handler. When the air handler has dirty filters or dust has been allowed to build up inside, it can lead to poor quality air with high amounts of dust. It can also allow humidity to child up inside leading to clammy air.
- Inadequate Air Flow: Poor airflow is usually linked to an obstruction, like a clogged filter, or a problem with the blower fan. Our technicians can check to verify that the fan is in good working order and replace the filter to restore lost airflow.
- Noisy Operation: Most of the moving parts of an air conditioner are in the air handler. So, when a mechanical problem happens it can be heard near the unit and through the ducts. Most often the source of the noise is a belt or a bad bearing.

Benefits of Replacing Your Air Handler
While most air handlers can stay in service for many years, they will eventually wear out. When that time comes, replacement is the only viable option. While replacing an air handler can seem stressful, it is important to recognize the benefits so you can fully appreciate your new equipment. Some of the good things to expect from your new air handler air:
- Lower Bills: When old air handlers reach the end of their lifespan, they cost a lot in repair bills. A new air handler with a warranty won’t need any repairs for years.
- Increased Efficiency: Efficiency is one of the ways that air handlers have improved over the years. New motors and special control circuitry allow air handlers to lower cooling bills with better energy-efficiency.
- More Comfort: You will probably notice that a new air handler moves air better, increasing the feeling of comfort around your home.
- Longevity: New air handlers give you a new lease on the life of your air conditioning equipment. Owners can expect them to last as long as 20 years with good, professional maintenance.
