The Most Common Air Handler Problems

The air handler is the indoor part of your HVAC system, and as mentioned, is a critical part of keeping you and your family comfortable. Without regular care and maintenance, both the indoor and outdoor units are susceptible to various problems that affect their performance. Here are the most common issues your HVAC system may suffer.

  • CLOGGED AIR FILTERS – Most people don’t change their air filters as regularly as they should. When air filters become dirty, it impedes airflow and makes the system work harder, reducing its lifespan. Experts recommend changing your air filters at least once a month.
  • SLOW FANS – Your HVAC fan moves air through the ductwork and into your home. If the fan is sluggish or has completely stopped, your house won’t reach the desired temperature.
  • CLOGGED EVAPORATOR COILS – The evaporator coils remove the heat in your house, and without routine cleaning, they become dirty and clogged, limiting their performance.

If you’re experiencing trouble with your HVAC system, call an air conditioner repair company with experience, like Performance Based Heating & Air.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Air Handler

As stated, the air handler is a vital part of your home’s HVAC puzzle. If your air handler has reached the end of its useful lifespan, you’ll have to replace it. But, how do you know when it’s time to do that? Here are the most common signs to watch out for.

  • FREQUENT FREEZING – When airflow is too weak to allow the refrigerant to pull heat out of the air, the vapor that comes into contact with the coil freezes. As ice continues to build up, it blocks airflow causing the system to shut down.
  • WEAK OR INCONSISTENT AIRFLOW – There are many issues that can cause weak airflow, such as a dirty air filter. However, you may not realize it, but cracks or holes in the air handler also cause inconsistent airflow. If your air handler is damaged, it’s best to replace it.
  • FREQUENT REPAIRS – If you find that you’re repairing your indoor unit at least once a year, it means it’s time to consider replacing part or all of it.

If you experience any of the above problems or something else out of the ordinary with your HVAC system, call the pros at Performance Based Heating & Air.
