Trimark Mechanical Helps Minimize Cost and Disruption
Air Handling Units (AHUs) keep people comfortable by moving conditioned air through a large facility. Often bigger than a freight car, they present a challenge to replace. Months of downtime and the disruption of a construction project mean that replacement isn’t ideal. Even if components are worn, there’s a better option than replacing the entire unit: refurbishing the AHU to make it work like new. Trimark Mechanical’s extensive experience in air handler refurbishment cuts costs while shaving weeks (even months) off replacements. From custom-built replacement parts to complete refurbishments, our experts are equipped to handle a variety of air handler repairs.
1. Coils
The first parts of an air handler that start facing issues are coils. Dirt, dust and debris accumulating on coils can lead to small and large-scale performance issues and even system failure. Is your air not cooling properly? This could likely be a frozen evaporator coil.
2. Shaft and Bearings
A noisy and inefficient air handler can be due to shaft and bearing wear. Trimark can clean and refurbish worn out shafts to keep your handler running smoothly.
3. Supply and Exhaust Fans
Fans are constantly spinning, so it’s no wonder that this continuous motion necessitates maintenance and occasional replacement. After years of work, fan blades can become distorted, misshapen, and welded together.
4. Floors, Drain Pans, Drain Pipes
Water collecting at the base of the air handler and refrigerant leaks and cause rust. Trimark can have the floor finished with epoxy, or have the lining redone.
5. Blower Motor
A variety of issues, such as dirt accumulation, rusted bearings, electrical failure, or simply old age can cause blower motor issues. The experts at Trimark promptly diagnose and repair the issue with minimal downtime.
6. Sensors
Temperature, humidity, and airflow are regulated by sensors. They require calibration and may need replacement.
