How does an air handler work in your system?
The air handler is the main component in the air conditioning process. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to receive any air at all. When you turn on the air conditioner, the air handler works by conditioning air and transferring it through the ductwork running throughout your home.
It does this by cooling the air using internal coils and pushing it into your ductwork. When it breaks down, you will quickly find yourself in a panic, trying to restore your air. CJS Heating & Air offers the highest quality air handler repair services. Our staff will arrive at your home, find the source of the issue, and repair it, restoring your unit to working order efficiently and effectively.
What causes damage in these units?
Air handlers undergo a lot of usage throughout the day. As such, they are susceptible to damage, preventing them from working properly. Some of the most common causes for this include:
- Age – Is your air handler over ten years old? As the air handler ages, it also deteriorates. This can result in leaking coils, damaged components, and faulty electrical systems. Eventually, the system will break down, cutting off airflow in your home.
- Dirty Filters – Your filter is responsible for keeping your air handler clean. If not replaced regularly, dust, dirt, and other particles can enter your air handler. These particles can clog the coils, resulting in the loss of temperature control in your home.
- Mechanical Failures – Belts, motors, and other mechanical parts are all susceptible to deterioration due to the passage of time. Eventually, these parts will fail and take with them the ability to cool and heat the home. Without proper repairs, you will find yourself without airflow for some time.
