Why Your Air Handler Deserves Attention
Your HVAC system’s air handler might not be the most visible component, but it’s absolutely crucial for maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout your Colorado home. At B&B Heating & Air Conditioning, we regularly encounter issues that could have been prevented with proper air handler maintenance.
Key Components of an Air Handler
1. Blower Motor
2. Evaporator Coil
3. Filter System
4. Condensate Drain Pan
5. Control Board
Common Air Handler Issues
Living in areas like Arvada or Broomfield means your HVAC system works overtime during extreme temperature swings. Here are critical maintenance points:
* Regular filter replacement to prevent restricted airflow
* Cleaning evaporator coils to maintain efficiency
* Inspecting condensate lines for proper drainage
* Checking electrical connections
* Lubricating moving parts
Energy Efficiency Impact
A well-maintained air handler can significantly reduce energy consumption. Residents in Lakewood and Wheat Ridge often notice a 15-25% reduction in energy costs after proper maintenance.
When to Schedule Maintenance
For optimal performance in our Colorado climate, schedule maintenance:
* Spring (before cooling season)
* Fall (before heating season)
* Any time you notice unusual sounds or reduced performance
Regular maintenance not only extends equipment life but also ensures your system operates at peak efficiency during those challenging Colorado seasons. Contact B&B Heating & Air Conditioning to schedule your professional air handler inspection today.
