Air handler services in Waterloo

How do air handling units work?

Air handlers generally function in two distinct manners. The most common method is to distribute conditioned air through designed ductwork that is installed throughout the home, and then return the air to the unit through the ducts for conditioning and redistribution. The second way that these systems operate is to discharge and admit air directly from the space that it services — without the use of ductwork.

Small handlers that are designed specifically for local use are called terminal units. These smaller units may only include a coil, blower, and air filter. Larger units that are designed to condition and distribute 100 percent outside air — with no recirculated air — are called makeup air units or MAUs. Both types of units are designed to provide optimally conditioned air to designated areas in the home.

Why are these units important?

The air handler is the element within your cooling system that conditions and circulates the air. Cooling systems are designed to provide comfort within in the home. The air handler ensures that the air reaches the desired area in the home at the desired temperature. An air handling system that is functioning optimally will improve the overall efficiency of your systems, saving you money throughout the course of the year.

Another major benefit of an air handler system is that it has the capacity to improve the air quality of the air that his distributed by your cooling and heating system. This can help reduce the risk of respiratory conditions and other health related issues associated with poor air quality.

Why might I need professional service?

There are a number of things can could cause trouble for an air handler. Like all moving parts, air handlers can simply wear out. Failing to change the filter on regular basis will cause the unit to work harder than it should, expediting its replacement time. Failing to maintain the air handler through regular service checks and adjustments can also contribute to the unit failing.
