how does an air handling unit work

HEAT PUMP AND AIR HANDLER MATCHED SYSTEM Regions: Southeast and the Carolinas Pump – Unlike a furnace, a heat pump doesn't burn fuel toIt simply uses electricity to move heat from one place toA heat pump is an energy efficient way to cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter. – Matched in capacity and efficiency rating with the heat pump, air handlers circulate conditioned air throughout your home. An air handler contains an inside coil and a blower fan, with the additional possibility of an auxiliary electric strip heater. Trane air handlers are available with single, multi or variable-speed motors. are known for soft starts, high humidity control features and 12 selectable levels of airflow capacity, as well as the enhanced comfort mode, the Comfort-R™ airflow system. – An integral part of a home comfort system, filtering dust and pollutants out of the air you breathe, and keeping your rugs and home furnishings cleaner as well.

Reduced pollen, dust, pet dander, smoke, etc., could help reduce allergy and asthma discomfort.

Could I have missed a air handler or this sometimes used. There was a thermostat for the upstairs and one for the downstairs.

Did you see zone controls at equipment? Many thermostats for Zones are identified as such. I'd recommend to isolate handler operation by using individual thermostat to call for condensers individually, then identify the handler being called for... allow the system to cycle down then repeat for second control.

Seeing multiple coils on the distribution portion of the system would be indicative as well. I would say if you don't individually operate the condensers one at a time or have pics... it would be hard to provide information... Is it a situation where you can explain and go back or let them know you don't have an accurate description of the components? Picture from a newer zone control and damper for reference.

Back when I had the heating and cooling company, we ran across air handler with two A-coils and two outside condensing units. The second A-coil kept freezing up. I think you have it Sean. Someone needs to take some NACHI classes I guess.... There is no residential application that uses two condensers. Did they look like this? This is one package and one split. Unless they are window units.. I thought you meant 2 compressors . I think Sean may be right Sorry guys, I am embarassed to say. We asked for the lock box code and went back in. There was a brand new Trane air handler in the attic. Jr. got a little lazy and took the easy way out. Lesson learned is to keep up with your inspectors and make sure the inspection passes the smell test.

Thanks again for all your comments and I learned some things from your input I would not have had I not asked the question.

An air handler is a unit located in your home or building that has a blower fan, heating and/or cooling parts, filters, and dampers. the unit controls how much air is sent out through the air conditioner or heater. It also determines whether or not the air sent is warm or cool air. Small air handlers for local use are called terminal units, and may only include an air filter, coil, and blower; these simple terminal units are called blower coils or fan coil units. The air handler connects to the ducts that distribute the conditioned air through the home or building and return it to the air handler through the return vent and air filter.

What are some signs of trouble with an AC Air Handler Unit in Arizona? The fan unit that works in conjunction with the air handler is the fan that actually blows the air throughout the home or building. These fans work hard in Arizona and if your unit starts making strange noises or fails to blow at all, the main air conditioning fan may need to be replaced. One of the most common air handler problems in Arizona is condensate pan leaks. AC units in the Phoenix area work hard during the summer and create a lot of condensation that will accumulate in the pan below the air handler. When algae builds up in the lines it can clog the drain line causing the pan to overflow and potentially cause water damage. In some cases, bugs or mice have enter the drain line from the outside of the house and clogged the line. If you ever see moisture or water pooling below your air handler... a condensation leak is usually the cause. The filters in your home’s air handling unit protect its blower assembly.

The typical air conditioning system circulates air through a "squirrel cage" blower fan into your home’s duct work. It is very important for you to check and change air filters at least monthly when the system is in use. The blades of a squirrel-cage fan are cupped in order to cause the spinning cage to move air. Dirt accumulation on the blades fills in this concave area, ultimately changing the "cup" to a simple flat area. The fan will spin just fine, but the air flow will be greatly reduced. Sometimes, the cubic feet-per-minute of air conditioning airflow can literally double when a very dirty fan of this type is cleaned or replaced. Contaminated blower compartments carry a risk to indoor air quality as well as health issues in buildings. Leaks into the blower compartment of an HVAC air handler invite mold problems too. Mice in HVAC systems are also a potential viral or bacterial hazard as well. These conditions suggest that there have not been regular inspections of the equipment.
