Common Problems with Air Handlers
An air handler unit contains a blower (fan), cooling elements, filter racks, dampers and sound silencers or attenuators. Here are a few common problems that air handlers encounter:
- Clogged FanWithout regular cleaning, dust and debris can build-up inside the AHU and clog the fan. While the fan will still spin, air may not be coming out.
- Mold GrowthMold growth occurs on the blower fan from excessive moisture. Mold often smells mildewy or musty, so if you detect an unusual odor, check for mold growth. Blowing mold spores around a house is not an ideal situation.
- Old Age Most air handlers have a lifespan of 10 years. If your air handler is aging, it is more prone to leaking coils, broken-down components and electrical problems. Replace your old air handler before it completely breaks down.
During Idaho’s hot summer months, condensation forms in the pan below the air handler. This causes algae to form. Algae growth can quickly clog the drain line which causes the pan to fill and spill out.
Air handlers play a critical role in HVAC systems, circulating air to keep your home comfortable. If your air handler is not functioning properly, it can result in increased energy bills and reduced air quality. That’s why it’s important to have your air handler repaired as soon as you notice any issues. Here are a few things to look for.
What to Look For:
- Poor indoor air quality
- Air handler cycling on and off
- Increased energy bills
- Strange noises coming from your air handler
