Air Handler & Blower Motor Repairin Coral Gables, FL
Repair of the indoor unit: blower motors, control boards, heat strips and leaking cabinets.
Air Handler & Blower Motor Repair for Coral Gables buildings
Salt air reaches well inland from Biscayne Bay, and outdoor coils in Cocoplum, Gables by the Sea and along Old Cutler Road corrode years sooner than the same equipment further west. We check coil fins, cabinet screws and electrical terminals for corrosion on every visit and recommend coated coils when a replacement is due.
The air handler is the indoor half of the system. It holds the blower that moves air through the house, the evaporator coil, the electric heat strips and the control board. When it fails, the outdoor unit may keep running while nothing comes out of the vents.
Air handlers in garages and closets also suffer from humidity: rusted drain pans, wet insulation and mould growth inside the cabinet are common in South Florida.
Air handler problems we fix
- No air, or very weak air, from the vents
- Squealing, grinding or rattling from the indoor unit
- The blower never shuts off
- Water leaking from the cabinet
- Burning smell or a tripped breaker
Our process
- We test the blower motor, capacitor, control board and safety switches.
- We inspect the coil, pan and cabinet for leaks, rust and microbial growth.
- You receive a written price, and we repair with a matching OEM or universal part.
Air Handler & Blower Motor Repair in Coral Gables: questions
Can the air handler be replaced without replacing the outdoor unit?
Sometimes, if a matching model is available for the existing outdoor unit and refrigerant. On older systems a matched replacement of both is normally required.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Coral Gables?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Coral Gables requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by the City of Coral Gables Development Services Department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Can you install central air in a historic Coral Gables home?
Yes. Depending on the house we use a high-velocity small-duct system, ductless mini splits, or a conventional system routed through closets and soffits. If the home is a designated landmark or sits in a historic district, visible exterior equipment may need review by the city's Historic Preservation office, and we prepare the drawings for that.
Does Coral Gables have rules about where the outdoor unit goes?
The city's zoning code regulates the placement and screening of mechanical equipment, and it is stricter than most of Miami-Dade. We confirm setbacks and screening requirements before the permit is filed, so the installation passes inspection the first time.
