Air Handler Repair Technical Guide for Henderson
Understanding Your Air Handler
The air handler is the indoor half of your HVAC system — it houses the evaporator coil, blower motor, filter rack, and sometimes heat strips. When homeowners report "weak airflow" or "the system runs but doesn't cool," the air handler is often the culprit. Our diagnostics include measuring static pressure across the coil and filter (excessive pressure drop indicates a clogged coil or undersized filter rack), testing blower motor amperage and RPM against specifications, checking the evaporator coil for ice formation or dirt buildup, and verifying the condensate drain is flowing freely.
Common Air Handler Failures
- Blower motor types matter — PSC (permanent split capacitor) motors run at fixed speeds and rely on a run capacitor. ECM (electronically commutated motors) are variable-speed, more efficient, and adjust to duct pressure changes. ECM failures often require module replacement, while PSC failures are usually capacitor or motor related.
- Evaporator coil leaks — Coils corrode over time from condensate moisture and airborne chemicals. Formicary corrosion creates tiny pinholes that are difficult to repair. When a coil leaks refrigerant, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated leak repairs.
- Condensate drain problems — In the desert, algae and dust combine to create stubborn drain line clogs. A blocked drain can cause water damage to ceilings and walls, especially when the air handler is in the attic.
- Vibration and noise — Loose blower wheels, worn bearings, and unbalanced fans create vibrations that transfer through ductwork. We diagnose the source with isolation testing before recommending repairs.
Henderson Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Henderson's 1950s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Water Street District (1950s-1970s original Henderson homes) — Mix of packaged rooftop units and early split systems. Many thermostats are basic manual models overdue for programmable upgrades.
- MacDonald Ranch (2000s custom and semi-custom homes) — Multi-zone systems with zone dampers and communicating thermostats. Air handlers in garage or attic locations.
- Cadence (2015-present new construction) — Smart thermostats, variable-speed air handlers, and communicating systems. Some homes feature mini-split supplemental cooling.
Where We Serve in Henderson
We serve Henderson neighborhoods including Water Street District, Inspirada, Cadence, MacDonald Ranch, Mission Hills, and McCullough Hills and surrounding communities.
Why do Henderson homes have so many different HVAC system ages?
Henderson's development spans from the 1950s (Water Street) through today (Cadence), creating a 70+ year construction range — the widest in the valley. This means our technicians encounter everything from original R-22 systems to modern smart HVAC on Henderson calls.
Does Henderson's elevation affect my HVAC system?
Yes. Henderson sits at 1,867 feet with some areas reaching 3,000+ feet. Higher-elevation areas like Anthem and Seven Hills are 5-8°F cooler than the valley floor, meaning shorter AC seasons but colder winters that put more demand on heating systems.
Air Handler Repair Priorities for Henderson Homes
Air handler repairs in Henderson often involve blower motor issues, evaporator coil leaks, or drain problems — indoor components that show wear from the thousands of hours our extended cooling season demands. Henderson's air handler diversity matches the city's 70+ year construction span — from original installations in utility rooms with minimal clearance to modern garage-mounted units with full service access. The city's slightly higher elevation means air handlers operate at marginally lower atmospheric pressure, a minor but measurable factor in airflow calculations. Henderson service calls require our technicians to be prepared for any era of equipment, from simple belt-drive blowers to advanced variable-speed communicating systems.
