HVAC Air Handler Repair

What Is an Air Handler?

In simple terms, an air handler is the delivery system for your home’s cooling and heating unit. It’s usually in a basement, attic, or utility room where it’s connected to your heat pump or AC’s ductwork. Its main job is to circulate conditioned air throughout your home by passing air over cooling or heating coils.

An air handler relies on air filters and electricity. When paired with a high-efficiency heat pump, it maintains the indoor climate, improves indoor air quality, and protects the longevity of your HVAC system.

Common Air Handler Issues

If you notice any of these HVAC issues, a malfunctioning air handler may be to blame. Call us for a repair if:

  • Your home’s airflow is weak: Your air handler may have a broken or faulty blower motor.
  • Your thermostat is inaccurate: Inconsistent airflow will alter the temperature readings on your thermostat.
  • Energy bills keep rising: An inefficient air handler forces your AC or heat pump to work harder, often consuming more energy.
  • You hear clanging or grinding noises: While whirring or occasional clicking sounds are normal, buzzing or banging from an air handler points to a dislodged part or compressor failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an air handler the same thing as an air conditioner?

While the terminology gets mixed up, an air handler is a separate component with a different function. An AC cools the air by extracting heat, while an air handler transfers and distributes conditioned air.

How long does a typical air handler repair take?

A repair usually takes between one and three hours, although this window varies depending on the complexity of the issue.

What are the signs that my air handler needs repair?

The most telling sign is weak or inconsistent airflow from your AC or heat pump. Keep your ears open for unusual noises too.

We do, and we prioritize emergency repairs. Count on us for same day service seven days a week.
