Air Handler FAQs
What does an air handler do?
An air handler circulates conditioned air through your home’s ductwork. It typically contains components such as the blower motor, evaporator coil, filter, and other parts that help your HVAC system distribute air.
How do I know if my air handler is failing?
Common signs include weak airflow, uneven temperatures, unusual noises, water around the unit, frequent cycling, and poor heating or cooling performance.
Can an air handler be repaired?
Many air handler problems can be repaired, including issues involving blower motors, electrical components, drainage, and other parts. The best solution depends on the specific problem and the condition of the equipment.
When should I replace my air handler?
Replacement may make sense if the air handler is older, requires frequent repairs, has significant damage, or is no longer performing efficiently.
Does the air handler affect AC performance?
Yes. Your air handler is responsible for moving cooled air throughout your home. If it isn’t working properly, your AC may struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures even if other components are operating.
Should my air handler and outdoor AC unit be replaced together?
Not always, but the indoor and outdoor equipment need to be properly matched for efficient operation. Sims can evaluate your existing system and recommend the appropriate option.
