Impellers transfer energy to move air or fluid efficiently.
An HVAC blower uses an impeller to circulate air through ducts, maintaining comfort and airflow.
Keep impellers clean and balanced to reduce noise, vibration, and energy waste.
“Keep impellers clean and balanced to reduce noise, vibration, and energy waste.”
Even minor buildup on impeller blades can reduce efficiency noticeably.
Can a damaged impeller be repaired?
Minor issues can be cleaned or balanced, but severe damage may require replacement.
Why is my blower noisy?
Imbalance, debris buildup, or worn bearings can cause noise.
Do impellers need regular maintenance?
Yes. Cleaning and inspection improve efficiency and lifespan.
