An unexpected air handler failure can leave you without proper heating or cooling when you need it most. Our emergency repair team responds quickly to diagnose and fix the issue without delay.

Your air handler consists of several key components that work together to maintain airflow and temperature regulation. When one of these components fails, your HVAC system struggles to keep up, leading to poor airflow, uneven temperatures, or even system shutdowns.

Below, we break down the most important parts of an air handler, the common issues they face, and how our expert technicians at Robinson Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. repair them.

Blower Motor

The blower motor powers the fan that pushes air through your ductwork, ensuring that conditioned air reaches every room in your home. Common issues with blower motors include:

• The motor can burn out, causing the fan to stop spinning altogether.
• Dirt and debris can build up, leading to reduced efficiency or overheating.
• Electrical issues can cause the motor to run inconsistently or make unusual noises.

Our technicians inspect the motor for signs of wear, clean debris buildup, and test electrical connections. If the motor is failing, we can replace it with a high-quality, energy-efficient unit to restore proper airflow.

Evaporator Coil

The evaporator coil cools the air by absorbing heat and moisture as refrigerant flows through it. This cooled air is then distributed throughout your home. Problems with this component may include:

• Dirt and dust buildup can insulate the coil, preventing it from absorbing heat efficiently.
• Frozen coils can occur due to airflow restrictions or low refrigerant levels.
• Corrosion or refrigerant leaks can cause the coil to fail entirely.

We clean dirty coils to restore efficiency, check for refrigerant leaks, and ensure proper airflow to prevent freezing. If the coil is damaged beyond repair, we install a new one to keep your system running efficiently.

Control Board

The control board is the “brain” of the air handler, sending signals to various components to regulate airflow and temperature. Issues that can affect the control board include:

• Electrical malfunctions can prevent the system from turning on or responding to thermostat commands.
• Short circuits or power surges can damage the board, leading to erratic performance.
• Loose wiring can cause intermittent failures or complete system shutdowns.

We diagnose control board issues using advanced testing tools, repair faulty wiring, and replace damaged boards to restore proper communication between system components.
