Air Handler Service

Air Handlers in Andover are a Good Alternative to Energy-Guzzling AC Units

The air handler is a major component of most HVAC systems in the Andover area. It takes the cool air produced by the AC unit, or the hot air produced by a hot water coil or electric strip heaters, and distributes it throughout your home. To keep you comfortable in the dead of summer, this system must operate at a steady pace without interruption. But, like all mechanical equipment, air handlers can break down without warning, especially after thousands of hours of operation.

When that happens, people in your area rely on Royal Air’s HVAC experts to get the cold air blowing again. Whether the solution is installing a whole new unit or a minor repair, our staff can handle it. To schedule air handler service in Lexington or Andover give (978) 664-5023 a call.

What Is an Air Handler?

You probably know what an air conditioner is; most people in Andover do. Air handlers, however, aren’t as well known. As mentioned earlier, air handlers are separate pieces of HVAC equipment responsible for pushing air throughout your ventilation system. They are usually indoors and can be used in both heating and cooling applications. Though you’ll hear people refer to them as “blowers,” the two are not one and the same. The blower is actually just one part of the air handler. Other components include the dampers, mixing chambers, controls, and air filter. These things work with the blower (a.k.a fan) to treat and disperse the air.

What Differentiates Air Handlers from Traditional Air Conditioners

A lot of people aren’t sure what separates an air handler from an air conditioner. We’ve had more than one customer ask why it is they need both. The important thing to remember is that air handlers themselves can’t change the temperature of air. They instead serve the same purpose as a fan, merely shifting air from one place to another. In HVAC systems without another form of propulsion—like the blower motor on a furnace—air handlers are necessary to distribute your treated air.

The best way to verify whether or not your system would benefit from an air handler is to reach out to Royal Air at 978.664.5023.

Signs of an Air Handler in Trouble

Though simpler than a standard air conditioner, air handlers still have plenty of break points. If you see or experience any of the following, it’s time to give Royal Air Systems, Inc. a call:

  1. Strange noises from the fan
  2. A sudden loss of HVAC air pressure
  3. Condensate pan leaks
  4. Clogged or dirty air handler filter
  5. A non-functional blower
The quicker you do so, the more likely it is we can repair the problem. If left untreated, minor air handler problems can blossom into full-on system breakdowns.
