Air handlers and blowers
Homeowners think of the outdoor unit as the air conditioner, but the air handler in your attic or closet moves every cubic foot of air through the house, holds the coil that pulls humidity out of it, and sits directly above your ceiling with a pan full of water. It deserves more attention than it gets.

What goes wrong
- Blower motors and modules failing, often after years of running against a dirty filter
- Evaporator coils dirty enough to cost real capacity, or leaking
- Drain pans and secondary pans rusted or cracked, with the ceiling below as the first sign
- Cabinet insulation deteriorated, so the cabinet sweats in an attic
- Attic installations with no service platform, so nobody has looked in years
What we do about it
- Clean the coil chemically rather than brushing fins flat
- Clear the primary drain and test the float safeties that protect your ceiling
- Read static pressure to find out whether the blower is fighting the duct system
- Replace pans, insulation and failed components instead of patching

“Our AC stopped working around noon, and with temperatures already over 90 degrees, we knew we needed help fast… They had Chris at our home within an hour of our call… we signed up for their twice-yearly maintenance plan before Chris left.”
“Very transparent. Explained all my required repairs and provided a per repair breakdown for full consideration… Don't get ripped off, call these guys first.”
“After returning home from a trip, I walked into a hot house and realized my AC wasn't working. Even with everything he had going on, he took the time on a weekend to walk me through the troubleshooting process.”
Questions about air handlers
Water is dripping from my ceiling under the attic unit. What now?
Shut the system off at the thermostat and call us. That is usually a plugged primary drain with a failed or missing safety switch, and continuing to run it keeps water coming.
