Jackson, Michigan's Air Handler Experts

An air handler, also known as an air handling unit (AHU) or fan coil, is a device that circulates conditioned air throughout a home as part of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. It’s usually a large metal box located in the attic, basement, or closet that contains several key components:
  • Blower or fan: Circulates air throughout the home
  • Evaporator coil: Absorbs heat from the air, cooling it down before it’s circulated back into the home
  • Heating elements: Warms up the air
  • Air filter: Filters the air
  • Electrical and electronic components: Control the air handler

There are many components of an air handler and below are some common issues you may have:
  • Thermostat: If your HVAC system isn’t working properly, you can check the thermostat settings and replace the batteries if needed. If that doesn’t work, you might need to replace the thermostat.
  • Refrigerant leaks: Low refrigerant can make your unit work harder to cool your home, which can increase your electricity bill. If the leak isn’t fixed, it will continue and require service.
  • Dirty filters: Filters can become clogged with dust, hair, and other debris after a few weeks of use. A clogged filter can make the fan work harder and cause excessive noise.
  • Dirty coils: Dirt on condenser coils can prevent the system from transferring hot air outside, which can affect your energy bill. You can have an HVAC professional clean the coils, or you can try doing it yourself if you’re comfortable.
  • Blocked drain: Pollutants like dust, dirt, and pet dander can stick to the drain pan during the cooling process and cause it to clog.
  • Frozen evaporator coil: If your air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, it could be because the evaporator coil is frozen. This can happen if the unit doesn’t get enough air to operate normally due to debris build-up.
  • Leaking ducts: Leaks in the ductwork can cause a 30% loss of air moving through the ventilation system, which can make your air conditioner work harder. Professionals will need to seal the ducts to fix this problem.

Air Handler F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

An air handler is a component of your HVAC system that is responsible for distributing conditioned air throughout your home. It works in conjunction with your furnace or heat pump to provide heating and cooling. Air handlers typically contain a blower fan, a heat exchanger coil, and a filter.

It is recommended that you have your air handler serviced once a year. This will help to ensure that your system is running efficiently and safely. During a service, your technician will inspect the components of your air handler, clean the filter, and lubricate the moving parts. To schedule your air handler service, click here.

There are several signs that your air handler may need repair or replacement. These include:

  • Strange noises: If you hear strange noises coming from your air handler, it could be a sign that something is wrong.
  • Uneven heating or cooling: If your home is not heating or cooling evenly, it could be a sign that your air handler is not working properly.
  • High energy bills: If your energy bills are unusually high, it could be a sign that your air handler is not efficient.
  • Musty odors: If you smell musty odors coming from your air handler, it could be a sign that there is mold or mildew growth.
  • Age: If your air handler is more than 10 years old, it may be time to start thinking about replacing it.

A single-speed air handler operates at a single speed. A multi-speed air handler can operate at multiple speeds. Multi-speed air handlers are generally more efficient and provide better temperature control than single-speed air handlers.

A ductless mini-split air handler is a type of air handler that doesn’t require ducts to distribute air. It consists of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, making it a great option for homes with uneven heating or cooling needs.

There are several ways to improve the IAQ in your home, including:

  • Changing your air handler filter regularly: A dirty air filter can trap pollutants and reduce airflow, leading to poor IAQ.
  • Ventilating your home: Opening windows and doors to allow fresh air in can help to improve IAQ.
  • Using houseplants: Houseplants can help to remove pollutants from the air.
  • Considering an air purifier: An air purifier can help to remove allergens, pollutants, and other contaminants from the air.
