Keep Your Air Handler in Prime Condition: Simple Maintenance Guide for Optimal Performance

As an HVAC guru, I understand the importance of keeping your air handler in tip-top shape for maximum performance and energy-saving awesomeness. Think of the air handler as the superhero of your HVAC system, tirelessly circulating perfectly conditioned air throughout your humble abode or magnificent edifice.

Neglecting its maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and even system breakdowns. However, with a simple maintenance routine, you can keep your air handler in prime condition. Let's dive into the essential steps you need to follow.

Learn how to keep your air handler in prime condition with my simple maintenance guide.

Learn how to keep your air handler in prime condition with my simple maintenance guide. Optimize its performance, improve energy efficiency, and prevent breakdowns with these easy steps. Ensure a comfortable indoor environment with proper air handler care.

Regular Filter Replacement

One of your air handler's most vital maintenance tasks is regularly replacing the air filters. Clogged filters restrict airflow, reducing the system's efficiency and putting strain on the blower motor. Aim to replace disposable filters every one to three months or clean washable filters as the manufacturer recommends. This simple step will improve indoor air quality and ensure proper airflow.

Clear the Surrounding Area

The area around your air handler should be kept clean and free from obstructions. Remove any objects, debris, or clutter that may impede airflow to the unit. Adequate airflow is crucial for the efficient operation of your air handler, and obstructions can lead to overheating or reduced performance.

Inspect and Clean Coils

Dirty coils can really put a damper on your air handler's efficiency. But fear not! You have the power to take action and keep those coils clean! Make it a habit to regularly inspect and clean your coils for maximum heat exchange. Grab a soft brush or vacuum cleaner and gently rid them of any debris. And if things get a little out of hand, don't hesitate to bring in the pros for a deep cleaning that will restore peak performance. Your air handler will shower you with gratitude!

Check and Lubricate Moving Parts

Give your air handler some love by thoroughly inspecting its moving parts. Look out for any signs of wear and tear on the blower motor and fan, and make sure to give them a good lubrication session following the manufacturer's guidelines. Keeping these parts well-lubricated will reduce friction and ensure your air handler stays super efficient and lasts for years.

Verify Condensate Drainage

Air handlers often generate condensation as they cool or dehumidify the air. Ensure that the condensate drainage system is clear and functioning correctly. A clogged drain can lead to water leaks and potential water damage. Regularly check the condensate drain and clear any blockages to prevent issues.

Schedule Professional Maintenance

Don't wait for your HVAC system to give up on you! Give it the VIP treatment it deserves with professional maintenance. Only skilled technicians will work their magic, performing thorough inspections, catching sneaky issues, and fine-tuning your system to perfection. Say goodbye to breakdowns and hello to worry-free comfort all year round.

Monitor Performance and Energy Consumption

Keep an eye on your air handler's performance and energy consumption. Unusual noises, reduced airflow, or sudden spikes in energy bills can be signs of problems. Address any concerns promptly by consulting an HVAC professional to prevent further damage or inefficiency.

Following these simple maintenance steps ensures that your air handler operates at its best, providing optimal comfort and energy efficiency throughout your space. A well-maintained air handler improves your HVAC system's performance and extends its lifespan, saving you money in the long run. Remember, when it comes to HVAC maintenance, prevention is key.

Contact a qualified HVAC professional if you have any doubts or encounter complex issues. They have the knowledge and experience to keep your air handler and entire HVAC system in prime condition, delivering reliable comfort year-round.

the way gojo's voice drops haunts me to this day

Much like humans generating their bodily fluids and oils on their own, I headcanon cybertronians do not require external lubricants for their moving parts. Their bodies will generate all the grease and oil and other things they require. They can still choose to use these though. The way humans would use lotion on their dry skin. Also polish. Gotta keep themselves shiny. (This one’s for you, Knock Out)

if you are out of quota lubricant and your Lubrication Officer is unavailable, stapler lubricant can be used in a pinch.

Corroded Coffin v. Slip 'n Slide Pairing: Eddie Munson x You Summary: Eddie and Evil Woman find an old Slip 'n Slide at a yard sale, and Corroded Coffin is super excited to try it out. Contains: Summer fun, Eddie getting to live out a childhood fantasy, Evil Woman being surrounded by morons. Words: 1k

"Always wanted to play on one of these."

You put down the ceramic figurine you're inspecting for chips and look at the box Eddie's holding. Another yard sale in the next town over, so big it was advertised in the paper; the only thing that'll get Eddie out of bed before noon on a Saturday.

"You've never been on a Slip 'n Slide?" you ask.

"Nope. Rich kid thing. When it got hot, Wayne would sit on the porch with the hose, whoever was around would run through it."

"That sounds more fun than this thing, actually."

"You've been on one?"

"Once. Hated it."

Eddie hums in acknowledgment and stares at the box that's been sitting in someone's attic for twenty years with a sort of longing.

"How much?" you ask.

"It was just a thought," Eddie shrugs, putting the box back on the table. A little orange sticker reads 50¢. You reach over and snatch it before someone else can.

"We're getting it," you say with finality.

You tuck the box under your arm and keep browsing. Eddie ducks his head and grins, following you along the rows of packed tables.

You end up spending close to $10, acquiring a decent amount of records and 8-track tapes for your shared collection, but the crown jewel is Eddie's Slip n' Slide. He's so excited about it, you even set it up while Corroded Coffin practices that afternoon, so they can strip their shirts and cool off afterwards.

You'd angled it down the hill, to give the boys a little extra zoom. You brought the hose out and put it in position. You set up a lawn chair in the shade near the bottom and brought out a magazine, an icy drink, and your camera. For when the boys ended up skidding across the grass. Because every single one of them would ride it down the hill, one after the other, and think they were going to be the one to stop before the slide did. Morons.

The heat is reaching the unbearable point by the time they wrap up practice. You put your magazine down when the music stops. They file out of the garage, already stripped down to their boxers.

The boys stand at the top of the hill and cross their arms, staring at the twenty-five foot long yellow strip in the grass.

"Turn the hose on first, dummies," you call, readying your camera. Gareth scampers to the spigot and turns it on, then runs back to the slide and sprays the hose around until he's sure it's wet enough. They play rock-paper-scissors to determine who goes first. Grant wins. The boys clear the runway, and he takes a runner's stance. He takes off and makes a glorious swan dive…

and skids to a painful stop on his stomach, about three feet in.

"Fuuuuuck!" he groans, rolling over to reveal a red chest and stomach.

A collective "ohhh" comes from the trio.

"It didn't do this last time," Grant whines.

"When was last time?" Jeff asks.

"I don't know, it was some kid's birthday party," Grant grunts as he picks himself up off the yellow plastic.

"You're heavier now," Jeff observes. "It's for kids. We're bigger than kids. We just need more slip so we can slide."

"Like soap?" Gareth asks.

"Baby oil?" Grant suggests.

"Wait!" Eddie yells, running toward the van.

Jeff and Gareth lean in to inspect the red on Grant's chest. It looks painful.

Eddie returns to the group, slathering something across his chest. He squirts some in the other boys' hands, and they all coat their chests, arms, and legs. Oh, boy. They're gonna end up in the neighbor's yard.

Grant takes his position again, and takes off running. This time, his swan dive turns into a graceful slide. He laughs as he zooms down the yellow plastic. When he hits the grass, he goes sideways and rolls down the hill. You, of course, get what you're sure is an amazing photo of it.

"Fuck yeah!" he yells, standing up and raising his arms triumphantly.

Jeff goes next, sliding down the hill with a whoop and landing in a heap in the grass. They high-five and wait for Gareth, who slides down with a "yeeeeeah!" before going sideways and rolling with such force, he knocks down Grant and Jeff. You cackle and snap away, wishing you'd brought a backup roll of film with you.

They help each other up, laughing the whole time, and turn their focus back to Eddie. He looks a little nervous.

"C'mon, man!" Gareth yells.

"You got this, babe!" you encourage him.

He grins and takes off, jumping a little weird and landing a little off-center, but Eddie Munson gets to ride the entirety of the twenty-five foot slide. He pops up in the grass with a loud yell, and your heart bursts with pride. Eddie Munson finally got to ride a Slip n' Slide.

"That was awesome!" he grins, glistening in the sun.

"Let's go again!" Jeff yells.

"Should we reapply the magical slippy slidey stuff?" Grant asks.

"What was that, anyway?" Gareth rubs his hand over his shiny chest, testing to see if it's still slippery.

"Uh…" Eddie looks at you with mischief on his face.

Oh no.

"Yeah, man, that was perfect!" Grant chimes in. "We need a tub of it!"

Oh no.

"What was it?" Jeff asks, looking between you and Eddie suspiciously.

"Lube," Eddie answers.

"What?" all three boys ask.

"Luuube," Eddie repeats, his face twisting into the evilest of grins.

"OH MY GOD!" the three of them shriek at the same time, running up the hill to the hose. They fight over it, trying to wash the remnants off themselves. You take a few more photos from your lawn chair, and Eddie plops down next to you.

"Must you horrify the children, dear?" you ask sweetly.

"Duh," he answers.

You snap a photo of the wicked grin still on his face.

What are some ingredients to watch out for in lubes that could cause irritation or infectionsand such? I thought I just couldn't use lube at all bc every single time I've tried it I ended up with a UTI but now I'm wondering if I've just been unlucky with my lube selections

Biggest offender by far is glycol. Any glycerin product is gonna really fuck up your pH balance. That’s basically all scented and flavored lube as well as a ton of major brands because glycerin is a cheap available stabilizer that sweetens the product regardless of how it reacts to our microbiomes.

Petroleum based stuff- really not great for vaginas. Steer clear.

Nonyxyl-9 is terrible but it’s only really found in spermicidal lube so always avoiding that is a good idea.

It’s only slightly possible that parabens affect vaginal flora but they do get absorbed into membranes are generally considered not great, so paraben-free is always better.

If you’re sensitive try to find lubes with very short ingredient lists. You could check out Sliquid water based or WaterSlide by Earthly bodies. Both are really short sweet ingredient lists that had high success for sensitive pussies in my anecdotal experience.

All that being said, you can try to ask a gyno about it. (If they say KY just run, sadly some gynos do not stay abreast of sex ed and just spout a brand they know) One thing I know from all the health folks in my life is that we can always strengthen our natural bacterial flora to be more robust. There’s probiotics you can take specifically for vaginal health.
