Air Handlers

Frequently Asked Questions

An air handler is a vital component of your HVAC system responsible for circulating conditioned air throughout your home. It houses key parts like the blower motor, evaporator coil, and air filter, working together to move warm or cool air through your ductwork.

Whether it’s heating in the winter or cooling in the summer, the air handler plays a critical role in maintaining your indoor comfort. At B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., we’ve been servicing air handlers in Albuquerque since 1971—so you can trust us to keep yours running efficiently and reliably.

The air handler is typically located inside your home—commonly in an attic, basement, utility closet, or garage—depending on your HVAC setup. It’s strategically placed to connect to your ductwork and deliver heated or cooled air throughout the house. If you’re unsure where yours is or need help accessing it, the experienced team at B. Carlson is here to help. We’ve been guiding Albuquerque homeowners through their HVAC systems since 1971, and we’ll make sure you’re informed, safe, and comfortable.

On average, a well-maintained air handler can last between 10 to 15 years. Factors like usage, maintenance, and air quality all play a role in its lifespan. Regular filter changes, annual tune-ups, and prompt repairs can help extend its performance and efficiency. At B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., we’ve been helping Albuquerque homeowners get the most out of their HVAC systems since 1971. If your air handler is aging or giving you trouble, we’re here with honest guidance and expert service you can count on.

Common signs your air handler may need repair or replacement include weak airflow, unusual noises (like banging or whistling), inconsistent temperatures, higher energy bills, or visible moisture or leaks around the unit. Our experienced team at B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., will give you honest advice and fast, effective service to restore your comfort.

At B. Carlson, we install a wide range of high-efficiency air handlers to fit the unique needs of Albuquerque homes—including models for mini-split systems, heat pumps, and variable-speed units for enhanced comfort and energy savings.

What Does an Air Handler Do?

The air handler is the indoor component of your central HVAC system. It works together with your air conditioner or heat pump to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. Inside that metal box are important parts like the blower motor, evaporator coil, and filters—all of which play a vital role in your comfort.

When any part of the air handler breaks down, you’ll likely notice one or more of these common signs:

  • Little to no airflow from your vents
  • Warm air blowing when it should be cool
  • Unusual smells or noises coming from the system
  • Frequent system cycling or high energy bills
  • Moisture buildup, leaks, or frozen coils

These issues don’t just make your home uncomfortable—they can lead to further damage to your HVAC system if ignored. That’s why we always recommend getting issues checked out as soon as possible.

Our Approach to Air Handler Repair

When you call B. Carlson, you’re getting more than a quick fix. Our certified technicians start with a full system diagnosis so we can pinpoint the root cause of the problem—not just treat the symptoms. We’ll inspect the air handler itself, check your filters, test your thermostat, and make sure your entire HVAC system is working as a team.

We come prepared with the parts and tools needed to make most repairs on the spot, whether that’s a faulty blower motor, a worn-out capacitor, or a dirty evaporator coil. And if your system is older or has underlying issues, we’ll walk you through your options with zero pressure—just real advice from people who care about your comfort.

We Keep You Comfortable Year-Round

Air handler issues don’t exist in a vacuum. Sometimes the root of the problem lies in airflow restrictions, aging ductwork, or poor filtration—all things that affect your whole HVAC system.

That’s why we often recommend a full system inspection, where we can also check:
