Schedule a preventative maintenance checkup for your air handler with your local dealer at least once a year. Your air handler is responsible for evenly distributing cool and warm air throughout your house. Trane air handlers are tested to last, but with so many moving parts under constant use, the possibility for wear and obstructions can happen from time to time.
Your Trane Comfort Specialist™ will inspect your air handler and make sure the motor and fan blades are free of obstructions and air is moving throughout the system as it should. Here’s what your can expect your dealer to do at your next air handler service appointment:
Here are a few things you can keep an eye on throughout the year to make sure your air handler is working properly. If you detect a problem, call your HVAC professional.
The Trane Hyperion air handler can be disassembled within a few minutes with only one tool, ensuring a quick installation so you can enjoy the benefits of Trane comfort as soon as possible. Plus, the cabinet can be cleaned fast and efficiently because the blower and coil assemblies slide out for easy access.
Taking care of the filter is one of the most important things you can do for your air handler. Clean or change your air filter at least once a year to ensure proper air flow and better indoor air quality.
If you have a semi-permanent filter, take the filter out of the frame and vacuum it. If you have disposable filters, they should be replaced every month with filters of the same size.
Here a few common problems and quick fixes to try if your air handler isn’t working properly.

When you’re going out of town for a few days, or when outdoor temperatures are moderate, don’t let your system run unnecessarily. When you return home, or when temperatures dictate, you can reset the system and it will immediately begin making your home comfortable again. If your heating system is not operational during the cold weather months, provisions must be taken to prevent the freeze-up of all water pipes and water receptacles.
SUMMER: Raise the thermostat to 85°F.
WINTER: Lower the thermostat 55°F.
Mold and debris can build up and restrict air flow. If left untreated, the dirt and debris can attach to the fan blades and motor, causing more serious problems.
We recommend servicing heating and cooling systems annually before each season. For your air handler, because it runs all year, it’s a good idea to have it checked out once a year.
