How to install an air handler

The air handler is an integral section of any air conditioner or forced-air furnace component in your home.

  • Without the air handling unit, the conditioned air from a oil furnace or heat pump would never leave your cottageet 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 component includes more than just a fan. Air handlers contain refrigerant lines when affixed to a heat pump, complicated electrical affixions 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 installation process requires professional knowledge in handling it officially as well as safely… Due to the intricate nature of the labor involved, amateur installation may result in various extreme issues. 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 installation should have reasonable airflow to ensure the correct installation, once your component is positioned officially, hook up the major affixions for the air handler, the ducts, the condensate line, as well as the refrigerant. Seal your component officially so that it is air-slim as well as no outdoor air will leak inside. This is pressing for your air handler component to maintain correct un-even temperatures as well as not allow outdoor contaminants. The last thing you shall need to do is to test to confirm that all the components are working, there are no refrigerant leaks, as well as the airflow is correct. The test will also ensure that the component is running within safety parameters.
