Roger The Plumber Offers Advice For Maintaining The HVAC Unit's Blower Wheel

    LENEXA, KS, March 19, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The blower wheel plays an important role in keeping the HVAC system running properly and efficiently. Common causes of blower wheel failure include wear and tear, failed bearings, high amp draw, electrical failure in the windings, and dirt and dust accumulation.

The more dirt or grease on the blower wheel, the harder the wheel has to work to keep turning. This leads to reduced efficiency and airflow. Just 1/10th of an inch of dust on the blower wheel can reduce efficiency by as much as 20%.

Dust accumulation can also cause the heat exchanger to run hot, gradually shortening the lifespan of the furnace. Eventually, the system will cease to operate.

General Manager Hunter Hamilton says, "The first line of attack is to change the air filters regularly. This ensures the system is filtering out as much dust and pollutants as possible, and that the blower wheel isn't accumulating dust." Paredez continues, "The second step is to clean the blower wheel regularly, at least once during a season. This will help prepare the system for the demands of extreme weather."
