What Is an Air Handler?
An air handler is a vital part of your HVAC system, working behind the scenes to circulate cooled or heated air through your home. It typically contains key components like the blower motor (often a brushless DC electric motor), evaporator coil, air filter, and air distribution ductwork. When any of these parts malfunction—such as a clogged air filter, faulty capacitor, or damaged coil—your system’s performance and indoor comfort are compromised.
When to Call for Air Handler Repair
Common signs you may need air handler repair include:
- Uneven airflow or hot air coming from vents
- Unusual sounds like banging, grinding, or squealing
- A sudden spike in energy bills
- Visible leaks near the air handler or evaporator
- Poor indoor air quality or increased dust
If left unaddressed, these issues can cause damage to other HVAC components like the compressor, heat exchanger, or condenser, leading to even more costly repairs. Our skilled HVAC contractors can pinpoint the problem and resolve it fast—often with same-day service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my air handler needs to be replaced?
If your air handler is over 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or is causing poor airflow and rising energy bills, it may be time to consider a replacement. Our technicians can inspect the system and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
What’s the difference between an air handler and a furnace?
A furnace heats air using gas or electricity, while an air handler circulates conditioned air throughout your home. In homes with heat pumps, the air handler typically contains the indoor coil and blower components.
Can a dirty air filter affect my air handler?
Absolutely. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, forcing the blower motor to work harder and potentially damaging the evaporator coil or compressor. Regular filter changes are essential for maintaining system efficiency.
Do air handlers help with indoor air quality?
Yes. Because air handlers distribute air throughout your ductwork, they play a significant role in controlling dust, moisture, and particulates. Proper maintenance and filtration upgrades can enhance indoor air quality.
Are Canyon’s air handler services covered by a warranty?
Yes. All our installations and repairs come backed by a labor warranty, and we only install equipment supported by strong manufacturer warranties. We’re happy to explain coverage details at your appointment.
