Air Handler Maintenance & Inspections
Consistent Comfort Starts with Consistent Care.
The Problem: Air Handlers Are Easy to Forget—Until Something Goes Wrong
Air handlers are the quiet workhorses of your home’s HVAC system—circulating heated or cooled air throughout your ducts. But over time, even the best systems (like Bosch and Mitsubishi) can lose efficiency if they’re not regularly inspected and tuned.
- Filters clog and reduce airflow
- Motors wear and fail silently
- Coils collect dirt, straining the system
- Drain lines clog, leading to water damage
- And eventually—your whole system breaks down
At Falco’s, we don’t wait for that to happen. We prevent it.
The Purpose: Efficient Operation, Healthy Airflow, Long-Term Reliability
Whether paired with a Bosch IDS or a Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat system, your air handler needs routine service to maintain:
- High system efficiency
- Balanced airflow and zoned comfort
- Warranty protection
- Smart system communication
- Healthy indoor air quality
Our Air Handler Maintenance & Inspection Process
Step 1: Arrival & Pre-Service Consultation
- Technician arrives on time, in uniform, and ready to listen
- Confirms any airflow or thermostat concerns
- Reviews filter access, past service, and control system setup
- Preps workspace with drop cloths and safety checks
Step 2: Full System Evaluation (20+ Point Inspection)
We inspect your air handler from top to bottom, including these elements of the mechanical & electrical systems:
- Blower motor performance and amp draw
- Variable-speed controller or ECM board
- Capacitor and contractor health
- Electrical connections, terminals, and surge protection
- Thermostat or control board signal verification
- System safety checks
We inspect your air handler from top to bottom, including these elements of its airflow & cleanliness:
- Filter condition and MERV rating review
- Supply/return duct pressure and airflow
- Evaporator coil cleanliness
- Drain pan and drain line inspection
- Cabinet condition and insulation integrity
We inspect your air handler from top to bottom, including these elements of its comfort & efficiency:
- Supply/return temperature differential
- Smart thermostat calibration (if applicable)
- Communication with outdoor unit
- Cycle timing and modulation behavior
All data is logged and reviewed—you’ll get real answers, not vague observations.
Step 3: Targeted Maintenance & Care
Based on system type, usage, and findings, we perform:
- Filter cleaning or replacement (with Legacy Membership or customer-supplied)
- Drain line flush and pan cleaning
- Coil rinse or chemical-free cleaning if accessible
- Tightening of electrical terminals
- Airflow and temperature tuning
- Control board reset or optimization (if needed)
We don’t oversell. We don’t overclean. We simply protect your system.
Step 4: Report & Honest Recommendations
After our inspection and service:
- We review our checklist with you in plain language
- Show you any photos, readings, or warnings
- Recommend repairs or upgrades only when they’re truly necessary
- Help you plan for long-term care—not just today’s visit
We’re not here to sell you what you don’t need—we’re here to protect what you already have.
Why Air Handler Maintenance Is Critical
Even with premium systems like Bosch or Mitsubishi, neglect leads to:
- Reduced airflow
- Overworked motors
- Higher energy bills
- Early compressor or board failures
- Water leaks from clogged drains
- Invalidated warranties
Regular maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential for year-round comfort and equipment longevity.
