How to install an air handler

The air handler is an integral part of any cooling system or forced-air heating system unit in your home.

Without the air handling unit, the conditioned air from a gas furnace or heat pump would never leave your cabinet as well as flow through your duct plan to the rooms of your home. Fans are a vital component of your air handler, however your unit includes more than just a fan. Air handlers contain refrigerant lines when connected to a heat pump, complicated electrical connections that route wires to the field supply directly, as well as flanges to hook up to the duct system. The complexity of the air handler upgrade process requires professional knowledge in handling it respectfully as well as safely, but due to the intricate nature of the labor involved, amateur upgrade may result in several serious problems. At best, a mistake will result in a non-functioning air handler. At worst, an error can result in injuries from electrical mishaps. The location of your air handler upgrade should have adequate airflow to ensure the usual upgrade, but once your unit is positioned respectfully, hook up the major connections for the air handler, the ducts, the condensate line, as well as the refrigerant. Seal your unit respectfully so that it is air-slender as well as no outdoor air will leak inside. This is crucial for your air handler unit to maintain usual un-even temperatures as well as not allow outdoor contaminants. The last thing you’ll need to do is to test to confirm that all the components are laboring, there are no refrigerant leaks, as well as the airflow is correct. The test will also ensure that the unit is running within safety parameters.
