Several signs can indicate that your air handler is not functioning correctly. Here are some common indicators to look out for.
An air handler, or air handling unit (AHU), is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system component. It is responsible for circulating and conditioning air within a building or a specific space.
If the air handler isn’t working correctly, contact Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating.

I called on December 25th at midnight and started leaving a message and Thomas Hoffman the owner called me back almost immediately. He said he would come out the next morning between 8:00 and 10:00 am snd he was promptly on time. He fixed my problem and while he was there I decided to get an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioning unit. The price was very reasonable and the installers one of them being his son were both very professional very courteous, polite, arrived on time and finished the same day. I enjoy knowing that I now have the support of Thomas Hoffman heating and air conditioning along with the peace of mind that comes with owning a Trane. Nothing stops a Trane.

Nick was excellent. Super profession, quick, and up front with the pricing (which was fair). Hopefully we don't need to call anyone to fix our AC again, but if we do - I'm calling Nick!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Layton, for your amazing review! We really appreciate your support and hope to be your first call for any future repairs!
Same day service. Technician arrived as scheduled. Replaced capacitor quickly. Friendly technician. Repair cost $429 seemed high for inexpensive part and 20 minutes labor.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tom, for your feedback! We're glad to hear the technician was prompt and friendly, though we understand your concerns about the repair cost. We appreciate your insights and hope to serve you again in the future.

My ac compressor was replaced. They always do a good job and they are always available when you need them.I think the price was a little too high since they only had to change the compressor in my unit. The compressor was under the warranty. Other than that Im very satisfied with the job the technician did.

The primary role of the handler unit is to control the airflow and ensure that the circulated air is cool or warm. An air conditioner handler unit is the HVAC system component that conditions the air and determines if the air is circulated well. It features a metal box with heating or cooling elements, a blower, chambers, filter racks, and dampers. Keeping your air conditioner handler unit clean is very important to get the most out of the HVAC system. The air handler unit may show signs of trouble every summer, so it is better to get professional assistance to complete the repairs.
Problems in the Fan Unit
The air conditioner handling unit requires the fan unit to work correctly as it is responsible for blowing air into your building or home. After prolonged usage, this unit might need some attention. Some signs of problems in the fan unit are odd noises from the component or failure to blow air at all. If you experience any of these problems in your HVAC system, you might have to replace the central air conditioner fan.
Condensation Leaks
Condensation leaks are another typical problem that can occur in air conditioner units. The usual signs of an issue are moisture or water leakage at the bottom of the unit. An air conditioner unit has to work a lot harder during the summer, and this causes quite a bit of condensation. This condensation is collected in a pan located under the air handler unit, but at times due to algae formation in the drain line, the line becomes clogged and results in water damage and overflow. Bugs and mice often enter the air conditioner unit and obstruct the drain line.
Contaminated Blower Compartments
If the blower compartment is not checked periodically, it might result in poor indoor air quality. The leaks in the HVAC system may also cause health problems, especially for people with allergies or other respiratory problems. To avoid this problem, it is better to have scheduled air conditioner maintenance.
