What's the difference between an air handler and a furnace?

A furnace heats air; an air handler circulates it. Rinnai air handlers work with furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps to move warm or cool air throughout your home via ductwork.

How often should my Rinnai air handler be serviced?

We recommend at least one maintenance visit per year, ideally before heating season. If you have pets or live in a dusty area, twice-yearly service keeps your system clean and efficient.

Why is my air handler making noise?

Noise often signals a clogged filter, worn bearing, loose panel, or unbalanced blower wheel. We diagnose the source and fix it on most visits. Call us for an inspection.

Can I clean my Rinnai air handler filter myself?

Yes, check and replace filters monthly yourself. Cleaning the blower wheel and internal pathways requires professional tools and knowledge to avoid damage. We handle that during maintenance.

What does balanced airflow mean?

Balanced airflow means every room receives adequate conditioned air and returns air at the right rate. We adjust ductwork dampers during installation and maintenance to achieve even comfort.

How long do Rinnai air handlers last?

With proper maintenance, Rinnai air handlers run 15–20 years or longer. Regular filter changes, blower wheel cleaning, and preventive maintenance extend equipment life significantly.

Is my air handler under warranty?

New Rinnai units come with 1–5 year parts warranties depending on model. We can verify your coverage and offer our own service warranty on repairs we perform.

Why use a Rinnai-certified technician instead of a general contractor?

Rinnai-certified technicians know these systems inside and out — faster diagnosis, correct parts ordered first time, and fewer repeat calls. You get better results from specialized expertise.

Can you upgrade my old air handler to a newer Rinnai model?

Yes. We design and install new Rinnai units matched to your heating and cooling system, handling ductwork, electrical work, and testing. Ask about financing to spread the cost.

Do you offer emergency air handler repair?

Yes. We prioritize emergency calls and can dispatch same-day service. Call us at (407) 847-0884 for heating or cooling emergencies, including after hours.

Our Process

How We Install Rinnai Air Handlers

Five clear steps from initial assessment to final commissioning — no guesswork, no surprises.

Home Assessment & System Sizing

We evaluate your home's square footage, insulation, window placement, ductwork configuration, and climate zone to size the right Rinnai air handler for your needs. Oversized units cycle inefficiently; undersized struggles to maintain comfort. We calculate the correct capacity and discuss efficiency options before ordering equipment.

What We Check On-Site

Square footage & insulation level
Window placement and solar load
Existing ductwork size & condition
Climate zone & comfort goals
Efficiency (AFUE / SEER) preferences
Budget and rebate eligibility

Schedule Assessment

Ductwork Design & Compatibility

Your air handler works with your existing ductwork — or we upgrade it if necessary. We measure duct sizing, check for restrictions, and verify return-air pathways deliver adequate airflow to the handler. Undersized or restrictive ducts get redesigned so the new system performs to spec.

Ductwork Design Checks

Supply duct sizing per room CFM
Return-air path capacity
Flex-duct vs rigid-metal assessment
Restriction and kink inspection
Damper and balancing plan
Upgrade recommendations where needed

Discuss Ductwork

Installation & Connection

Once your Rinnai air handler arrives, we inspect for damage, verify factory settings, and prepare the mounting location. The unit goes in level and properly supported, then we connect it to your heating source (furnace, heat pump, or boiler), verify every gas, refrigerant, and electrical connection matches Rinnai's specs, and test each for seal and pressure.

Installation Checklist

Factory damage inspection
Level & properly supported mounting
Heating source tie-in
Refrigerant / gas connections verified
Electrical & thermostat wiring
Pressure & leak tests on each joint

Schedule Installation

Ductwork Sealing & Airflow Test

Leaky ducts waste energy and dilute comfort. We seal every duct joint with mastic sealant — not just tape — and run airflow measurements to confirm the system delivers the rated CFM to each room. Dampers get balanced so temperature is even throughout your home, not hot in one room and cold in another.

Sealing & Test Steps

Mastic sealant on every joint
Plenum and trunk seal inspection
Per-room CFM measurements
Static pressure test
Damper balancing
Return-air verification

Commissioning & Final Report

Before we call the job done, we run the system through a full cycle — heating and cooling if applicable, on multiple speed settings. We check motor amperage, blower speed, and system pressure against Rinnai spec. You receive a commissioning report documenting everything installed, tested, and verified so you have a record for warranty and future service.

Commissioning Checklist

Full heating/cooling cycle test
Motor amperage verification
Blower speed confirmation

Common Questions About Rinnai Air Handlers

Frequently Asked Questions

A furnace heats air and warms your home; an air handler circulates the air. Some systems use a furnace to heat and an air handler to move that warm air throughout your home's ductwork. Rinnai makes air handlers that work with heat sources like furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps. If you have a Rinnai air handler, we service it specifically.

We recommend at least one maintenance visit per year, ideally before the heating season starts. If you have pets, live in a dusty area, or run the system heavily, two visits per year — once before winter and once before summer — will keep your system clean and efficient. Our maintenance plans include scheduled visits so you don't have to remember to call.

Noise from an air handler usually signals one of several issues: a clogged filter restricting airflow (you'll hear a higher-pitched whistle), a bearing wearing out (you'll hear a rumbling or grinding sound), a loose panel or ductwork connection (rattling or vibration), or a blower wheel out of balance (humming or whirring). We can diagnose the source and fix it on the same visit in most cases.

You can absolutely check and replace your filter monthly — that's part of normal homeowner maintenance. However, cleaning the blower wheel, motor, and internal pathways requires opening the unit, and improper handling can damage components. We include blower wheel cleaning and inspection during maintenance visits to ensure the work is done correctly.

Balanced airflow means every room in your home receives adequate warm or cool air and returns air back to the system at the right rate. If one room is too cold and another too warm, the air handler may not be sized correctly, or ductwork dampers may need adjustment. We balance airflow during installation and can re-balance during maintenance if comfort issues develop.

With proper maintenance, a Rinnai air handler can run 15–20 years or longer. Motors and bearings wear over time, and control boards can eventually fail, but the equipment is designed for longevity. Regular filter changes, blower wheel cleaning, and preventive maintenance help you get the full lifespan out of your unit.

New Rinnai units typically come with a 1–5 year parts warranty depending on the model, and sometimes labor warranty through the installer. We can verify your warranty status and what's covered. We also offer our own service warranty covering parts and labor on repairs we perform, so you're protected either way.

Rinnai equipment has specific design features, installation requirements, and failure modes that generic HVAC training doesn't always cover. A Rinnai-certified technician knows the equipment inside and out, diagnoses faster, and orders the right parts first time. You'll get better results and fewer repeat service calls.

Yes. If your current air handler is aging or failing, we can design and install a new Rinnai unit that matches your home's heating and cooling system. We'll handle all the ductwork modifications, electrical work, and testing so the new equipment performs flawlessly from day one. Ask us about financing options to spread the cost.

Yes. If your air handler fails during cold or hot weather and you need service urgently, call us. We prioritize emergency calls and can often dispatch a technician the same day. Keep our phone number handy: (407) 847-0884. For heating/cooling emergencies after hours, we have emergency service available. We also handle other home system emergencies, from burst pipes to water heater failures.
