Air Handler Services

If the air in your home has lost its freshness and its temperature has become unstable, it may be time to pay attention to the condition of your ventilation system. As soon as one of its elements fails, the entire equipment will start working incorrectly. In this case, even properly installed state-of-the-art HVAC units will be unable to function. To remedy the situation, sometimes it is enough to replace the fan or perform air handling system maintenance. Rocky Mountain provides such services. We are the contractor near you who responds to the call immediately after the request and never fails. The maximum waiting time for a technician is 24 hours.

Why is it important to maintain ventilation units?

Ventilation units are responsible for air circulation and filtration. They ensure freshness and cleanliness in the premises. Over time, these elements can become contaminated with dust, allergens, and other substances. All components of the units require regular inspection by specialists. Without maintenance, the air handling unit may not operate efficiently, and without regular air handler cleaning, the premises will quickly fill with dirt and bacteria. And this is not the only problem.

Various components can fail:

• Fans: This can be a motor failure, blade wear, or bearing failure.
• Filters: If they are clogged with dirt and dust, the airflow is limited.
• Air ducts: Depressurization of the channels leads to a loss of airflow.
• Valves and dampers: Their sticking or malfunctioning leads to uneven air distribution.
• Sensors and automation: A malfunction leads to incorrect operation of the entire system.
• Heat exchangers: Increased deposits on their surface or leaks reduce the efficiency of heat transfer.
• Condensers and evaporators: Contamination or damage causes the system to overheat or freeze.

What is the maintenance of air handling units?

The set of measures aimed at maintaining the proper condition and efficient operation of the ventilation system is called the maintenance of ventilation units, which includes inspection, cleaning, repair, and system adjustment. The entire range of services can be ordered from Rocky Mountain—specialists ready to help whenever you need it. To maintain smooth equipment operation, high air quality, and energy efficiency, these measures should not be neglected.

The main tasks of air handling unit maintenance:

• Cleaning the AC air handler system: removing dirt, microorganisms, and mold from filters, fans, and air ducts.
• Checking the operation of the equipment: inspecting fans, motors, valves, bearings, belts, and other mechanical parts for wear or breakdowns.
• Checking electrical connections and the condition of automation, sensors, and thermostats.
• Adjusting and setting system parameters, such as fan speed and valve position.
• Adjusting temperature conditions and other parameters to meet the needs of users.
• Repair or replace worn components or damaged parts: filters, belts, seals, electronic sensors, and controllers.
• Diagnostics and monitoring to identify potential problems: air leaks, reduced performance, excessive vibration, and noise levels.

Consequences of untimely maintenance of air handler

• Reduced air quality: Contaminated ventilation units are unable to effectively filter the air, which can lead to the accumulation of harmful substances within the premises. This is especially dangerous for people with allergies or respiratory conditions.
• Increased energy consumption: When the air handling units become dirty, the system is forced to operate at maximum capacity to achieve the desired level of air circulation, which increases energy consumption.
• Reduced equipment service life: Insufficient maintenance of ventilation units can lead to wear and tear and the need to replace the equipment earlier, which can result in additional costs.

Benefits of regular maintenance

• Increased efficiency: Regular maintenance prevents clogging and ensures that the system operates efficiently, which helps to save energy.
• Increased service life: Cleaning and timely repairs help extend the life of ventilation equipment.
• Improved air quality: Clean filters and other components ensure fresh and clean air is always available in the room.
• Reduced costs: Preventive maintenance helps prevent serious breakdowns that can be costly to repair.

Is your system in need of an upgrade? Start by replacing the air handler

Timely diagnostics and maintenance of fans and other HVAC system components can reduce repair costs and extend the life of your equipment. The sooner you notice a malfunction, the better your chances of avoiding costly replacements. The average consumer may detect some problems if they are attentive. However, if there is the slightest suspicion that the system is not working properly, we advise you to contact specialists who specialize in servicing various types of ventilation units.

Most often, professionals are called upon to repair air handlers. Experts can quickly diagnose the problem and offer solutions, but repair is not always enough. There are cases when it is more appropriate to replace the equipment with a new, more modern one.

The main reasons for replacing the air handler:

• Wear and tear of parts: Over time, operating components such as bearings, motors, and blades may make unusual sounds, indicating that they are worn out.
• Reduced efficiency: Older models may operate less efficiently, which increases the system's energy consumption.
• Vibrations and noise: If the fan starts to vibrate or make noises, it may be a sign of mechanical wear or imbalance.
• Motor overheating: If the motor regularly overheats, it may indicate wiring problems or worn parts.
