4 Signs You Need Air Handler Repair

Many people don’t realize it, but their HVAC system is made up of several components. When one piece fails, it can compromise the whole thing and make your indoor life miserable.

The air handler is the component that typically sits outside and moves cold or warm air throughout the house. So, what are the signs that your air handler is failing?

Weak Airflow
The air handler draws air from the return vent and sends it through the HVAC system. If the airflow from the registers is weak or varies throughout the day, it could mean the motor is dying.

Odd Noises
It’s normal for the air handler to make ambient noise, but if you hear odd sounds like rattling, buzzing, or whistling, it means something’s not right. It could be a loose piece or another mechanical problem.

Higher Energy Bills
Have you noticed that your energy bills have risen, but you’ve not changed your usage habits? When this happens, it could be that your HVAC system is working harder than usual and consuming more power.

Frequent Cycling
Your HVAC system undergoes regular on/off daily cycles to maintain the temperature. But if it runs continuously or cycles on and off rapidly, there’s a problem. Frequent cycling creates more wear and tear on the system and can cause a premature breakdown.

Can You Just Replace the Air Handler?

If your air conditioner isn’t performing as you want, you may think an air handler replacement will solve the problem. As mentioned, your HVAC is a system made from several components.

While it is technically possible to replace one part, like the air handler, it’s not advised, and here’s why.

Cost
While replacing a single component is cheaper, there’s a good chance another part will fail soon due to age. The combined repairs could equal or exceed a total system replacement.

Matched Performance
New HVAC systems are built with components perfectly matched for the best performance. Replacing one could throw off the balance.

Reliability
Finally, the best way to ensure your system only requires routine maintenance in the future is to replace the whole thing.
