What are signs my air handler needs repair?
Common signs include weak airflow from vents, strange noises (squealing, grinding, rattling), the system not turning on, uneven temperatures between rooms, higher energy bills, or water leaking around the unit. If you notice any of these issues, call for a diagnostic before the problem worsens.
How long do air handlers last?
