Your air handler is the indoor unit that circulates and conditions air through your ductwork, working alongside your air conditioner or heat pump. It plays a vital role in keeping every room comfortable year-round. When it’s running properly, you’ll enjoy balanced airflow, clean indoor air, and consistent temperatures.
If your air handler isn’t performing like it should, the team at Kats Heating & Cooling can help. We provide professional air handler installation, repair, and maintenance services for homeowners throughout Hinsdale, Downers Grove, and the surrounding suburbs.
Air Handler Installation
If your current air handler is …
- Between 10 and 15 years old
- Struggling to circulate air evenly
- Causing rising utility bills
It might be time to schedule air handler replacement.
Our installation process starts with a full system assessment to ensure your new air handler matches your existing air conditioner or heat pump. We carefully size the unit, inspect the ductwork, and verify refrigerant compatibility for optimal performance.
Once installed, we test and balance the system to confirm proper airflow and energy efficiency. Professional installation not only maximizes comfort but also protects your manufacturer’s warranty and ensures years of reliable service.

Air Handler Repair
If your system isn’t blowing air, is making unusual noises, or just isn’t keeping up with demand, you may need to call someone to fix your air handler. Common issues that warrant repairs include:
- Worn blower motors
- Clogged coils
- Frozen evaporators
- Tripped breakers
- Electrical wiring faults
We will begin by inspecting all of your air handler’s components. Then, we complete the repair with quality parts and thorough testing. Most air handler repairs can be completed in a single visit, restoring airflow and cooling performance right away.
If the repair cost starts approaching the price of a new system, we’ll give you an honest recommendation and discuss whether replacement makes more sense long-term.
