What is an Air Handler and Why is it Important?

As HVAC service professionals, it’s our job to help you understand the equipment in your home. You might have heard your HVAC system’s air handler called different names, like an air handling unit (AHU) or fan coil unit (FCU). No matter what you call it, the air handler is a key part of your system—it’s what circulates conditioned air throughout your home. Keeping it clean is essential for keeping your system running efficiently and maintaining good indoor air quality.

Here are some key reasons why a clean air handler is crucial:

Efficiency - A clean air handler makes air flow freely and efficiently through the system, allowing it to heat or cool your home effectively.
Air quality - Dust, debris, and contaminants can accumulate in the air handler over time, leading to poor indoor air quality. Regular cleaning helps remove these pollutants, promoting cleaner and healthier air in your home.
System longevity - When the air handler is clean and well-maintained, it can operate smoothly and with less strain, reducing the risk of breakdowns and extending the lifespan of your HVAC system.

How to Tell If Your Air Handler Needs Cleaning

Air handlers are often hidden away inside HVAC systems, so it’s tough to tell how clean they are just by looking. Without opening up the system, it’s hard to know for sure if your air handler needs attention. The good news? There are other signs you can watch for to figure out if it’s time for a cleaning.

Here are some clear indicators that it’s time to schedule a cleaning:

Reduced airflow from vents
Increased dust buildup around vents and registers
Lingering musty or unpleasant odors
Allergies or respiratory issues in occupants
More frequent heating or cooling system cycling
Noticeable increase in energy bills

Regular maintenance and cleaning of your air handler not only improve air quality but also extend the longevity of your HVAC system. By addressing these signs promptly, you can keep your home comfortable while enjoying the benefits of cleaner air and lower energy costs.

Inspect and clear the drain pan - We check the drain pan for clogs and clean it to prevent water buildup and potential mold growth.
Final testing - Once everything is clean, we power the system back on and run tests to make sure it’s working properly.

Commonly Asked Questions

How often should I clean my air handler?

We recommend cleaning your air handler at least once a year. However, if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty environment, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain air quality and efficiency.

What are the signs that my air handler needs cleaning?

Some common signs include reduced airflow, musty odors, visible dust buildup around vents, and increased allergy symptoms among occupants. If your HVAC system is cycling more frequently or your energy bills are rising, it may also be time for a cleaning.

Can a dirty air handler affect my health?

Yes. A dirty air handler can circulate dust, pollen, mold, and other allergens throughout your home. This can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, making regular cleaning essential for indoor air quality.

Is air handler cleaning different from duct cleaning?

Yes, air handler cleaning focuses on the unit that distributes air through your home, while duct cleaning targets the air ducts. Both services are important for maintaining HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality.

Will air handler cleaning help reduce odors in my home?

Yes, removing dust, mold, and debris from the air handler can eliminate musty or stale odors that may be circulating through your HVAC system.

Can I clean my air handler myself?

While you can replace filters and wipe down accessible components, professional cleaning ensures all internal parts are properly sanitized and inspected for issues. DIY cleaning may not be as thorough or effective.

What time of year is best for air handler cleaning?

The best times for cleaning are in the spring and fall before extreme temperatures increase HVAC usage. This ensures optimal performance throughout peak heating and cooling seasons.
