Air Handlers Service in Murfreesboro, Tennessee

There are a few types of air handlers used along with residential HVAC systems. They are:

• Single-Speed Air Handlers
• Multi-Speed Air Handlers
• Variable-Speed Air Handlers

Single-speed air handlers run at full capacity every time they’re turned on. You won’t have any control over the heating and air conditioning delivered by this type of handler. They also consume a lot of energy.

Multiple-speed air handlers typically offer two or three separate levels of operation, which gives you more control over their heating and cooling delivery. They start out working at full capacity, and then, gradually, decrease their operating power to maintain the desired temperature in the space.

Variable-speed air handlers deliver maximum efficiency with multiple speed settings. They start out at the lowest power level, and then automatically adjust their operational power to manage the current temperature and atmospheric conditions of the given space. They typically cost much less to operate than single-speed or multiple-speed air handlers.

Benefits of Variable-Speed Air Handlers

There are loads of benefits associated with a variable-speed air handler, including:

• Significant savings on monthly energy bills
• More consistent, uniform air conditioning and heating, year-round
• Smooth operation at the lowest needed levels, plus quiet and very cost-effective
• Even at the lowest possible levels of operation, air quality is improved by nonstop filtration

If there is a downside to variable-speed air handlers, it’s that they can be rather pricey initially. However, when considering the long-term savings they typically create, most homeowners agree that they are worthy investments.

If you already have an air handler, it’s important to understand the difference between when it needs repairs and when it needs replacement. Read on to see the signs for both, and consider giving Armor Air’s HVAC experts a call to provide you with the next steps.

When to Consider Air Handler Repairs

If you’re experiencing these issues and your air handler is under ten years old, you should get it repaired:

• Your energy bills have gone up
• Your system is blowing warm air, which could be from a damaged compressor
• An odor coming from your HVAC system, which could be from mold or mildew build-up
• Making a rattling noise

Armor Air’s experienced HVAC team can repair or replace any of the broken components ailing your air handler including blowers, controls, filters, heating and cooling elements, and humidifiers.

When to Consider Air Handler Replacement

Other reasons you should consider replacing your air handler include:

• The unit is 10 to 15 years old
• The AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute) rating doesn’t match the AHRI rating on your current HVAC system

• Your energy bills are higher than they were the same time last year
