FAQs
What is an air handler and why is it important for my heating, cooling, and ventilation system?
An air handler is the indoor portion of a split HVAC system. It houses the blower motor, evaporator coil, and internal air filtration components that circulate conditioned air throughout your home. In heating mode, the air handler pushes warm air from your furnace or heat pump; in cooling mode, it distributes chilled, de-humidified air. It also influences ventilation by drawing in and circulating outdoor air (if equipped with fresh-air intakes) and by filtering indoor air to remove dust, allergens, and other pollutants. A properly sized and maintained air handler ensures even temperatures, good indoor air quality, and energy-efficient operation.
How can I tell if my air handler in Evensville needs maintenance or repair?
Watch for these common warning signs: • Weak or uneven airflow from registers • Unusual noises such as grinding, rattling, or squealing • Musty or burning odors when the blower starts • Excessive dust buildup on surfaces despite regular cleaning • Higher-than-normal energy bills • Water leaks around the indoor unit or persistent humidity issues If you notice any of these symptoms, call our Evensville HVAC technicians. We’ll inspect the blower motor, belts, evaporator coil, condensate drain, and electrical components to pinpoint the problem and restore safe, efficient performance.
What ventilation and indoor air quality upgrades do you offer for Evensville homes?
We provide a full range of IAQ solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing air handler: • Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs) for balanced fresh-air exchange without wasting heating or cooling energy • High-MERV or HEPA filtration cabinets that capture pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and fine particulates • UV-C germicidal lamps installed near the evaporator coil to neutralize viruses, bacteria, and biofilm growth • Whole-house dehumidifiers and humidifiers to maintain proper moisture levels year-round • Activated carbon media or electronic air cleaners to remove household odors and chemical fumes Our comfort specialists will test your home’s air quality, identify problem areas, and design a customized package that meets your health goals and budget.
How often should I replace or clean the air filters in my air handler, and which filter is best?
For most Evensville households, replace standard 1-inch pleated filters every 1–3 months. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may need monthly changes. If you upgrade to a 4–5-inch media filter, replacements typically extend to every 6–12 months. Choose a filter rated MERV 8–13 for a balance of airflow and particle capture. Higher MERV ratings (14–16) or HEPA add superior filtration but may require air handler modifications to prevent static-pressure issues. We’ll assess your system’s blower capacity and recommend the best filter type and change interval for your lifestyle.
Can replacing or upgrading my air handler really save on energy bills?
Yes. Modern air handlers feature variable-speed or ECM (electronically commutated) blower motors that adjust airflow precisely to current heating and cooling demand. This reduces electricity consumption by up to 50% compared to single-speed motors and eliminates noisy on-off cycling. Newer units also offer improved insulation, smarter controls, and better coil design, which heighten efficiency. When paired with a high-SEER heat pump or AC, an upgraded air handler can lower annual energy costs while enhancing comfort and humidity control. We provide free in-home assessments in Evensville to calculate potential savings and available rebates.
