What Is the Air Handler?
The air handler is an essential part of any forced–air system, which includes gas furnaces, electric furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps. It takes on the job of regulating and circulating the air of an HVAC system that goes through the ventilation network. A standard air handler consists of a fan (or blower), refrigerant coil/heating elements, and dampers. In some situations, a building may need air drawn from the outside—rather than air recirculation—and the air handlers that take care of this job are known as makeup air units. In ductless system, the smaller air handlers found in the systems are referred to as terminal units.
If you don’t have a working air handler for your HVAC system, you won’t have a working system. The AC or furnace will condition air, but that air won’t end up going anywhere. At times, the air handler that serves you house may need to have repairs—or even a full replacement.
Repairs and Replacements for Your Air Handling Unit
If you notice that you’re not receiving sufficient airflow from the vents in your house—or any airflow from them at all—it’s possible that the issue is a broken air handler. The blower motor may have burnt out and will need to be swapped for a new one. An older air handler might need a full replacement. Watch for early warning signs of a faulty air handler, such as rattling or clanging noises that can indicate the air handler is loose or the blower fan has sustained damage. A terminal unit in a ductless system can sometimes fail for a variety of reasons, so when you discover that one of the blowers is not operating as it should, call on technicians to fix it or replace it.
