Technician cleaning the inside of an open air handler

Air Handler Cleaning

The box every bit of air passes through

The air handler is the indoor cabinet that houses your evaporator coil and blower and connects to the supply and return ductwork. In many Miami condos and apartments, it sits in a closet right next to living space. In houses, it may be in a garage, utility room or attic.

Over time, the inside of the cabinet collects dust, and the area around the filter rack and return plenum can get especially dirty. Air handler cleaning focuses on the cabinet itself. The components inside it have their own services: AC coil cleaning and blower wheel cleaning. All of them are included in a full HVAC cleaning.

What’s included

Parts of the air handler we clean

01

Cabinet interior

Interior panels and surfaces where dust settles.

02

Filter rack

The slot or grille where the filter sits, and the area around it.

03

Return plenum

Where return air enters the cabinet, which is often the dirtiest section.

04

Supply plenum connection

Where conditioned air leaves the cabinet into the ductwork.

05

Access panels & seals

Panels are cleaned and reinstalled so they close properly.

Warning signs

Signs your air handler needs cleaning

  • Dust and debris visible when you open the cabinet or change the filter
  • An odor coming from the AC closet
  • Water stains on the floor or walls around the unit
  • Gaps around the filter that let dust bypass it
  • The unit has never been cleaned since installation

What is an air handler?

It’s the indoor part of a central AC system. The cabinet houses the evaporator coil and blower and connects to your ductwork.

Is air handler cleaning the same as HVAC cleaning?

Air handler cleaning is one part of HVAC cleaning. A full HVAC cleaning also includes the coil, blower wheel and drain pan.

Can you clean air handlers in condo closets?

Yes. Closet air handlers are very common in Miami condos, and we protect the surrounding area while we work.

Should I clean the ducts at the same time?

Often, yes. If the air handler is dirty, the return and supply ducts connected to it usually are too.
