Rating 4, 7 (6, 52) Our service technicians will clean it for you by disassembling the fan motor, cleaning it with a chemical spray, drying it and assembling it. The best thing you can do to avoid problems with boiler blowers is to have your furnace checked annually by a professional HVAC technician. It will clean it to remove excess accumulated dust, lubricate moving parts that require it, and replace the drive belt if necessary. It's always better to have your boiler checked before you need it, instead of calling us on the coldest night of the year because the boiler isn't working.
Regardless of the type of strange sounds the fan motor makes, you should turn off the system and contact an HVAC technician right away. While problems, such as a loose or damaged belt and poor alignment, are easily fixed, they can damage the engine or surrounding components if you don't repair them quickly. A trained technician can perform a thorough inspection of the fan motor. So they can tell you if it's better to repair or replace.
The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to replace or clean your filters on a routine basis. Dirty, clogged filters reduce the amount of air flow and significantly reduce system efficiency. In addition, when airflow is obstructed, air can bypass the filter and deposit dirt directly on the evaporator coil, which impairs the heat absorption capacity of the coil. Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can reduce air conditioning energy consumption by 5% to 15%.
If you see more dust in your home, if the airflow from the HVAC system isn't as strong, or if the HVAC system stops working completely, the fan motor may be broken.
