After Nearly 59 Years, Air Handlers Announces Retirement & Closure

After almost 59 years, Mike and Donna Shattuck are retiring, and Air Handlers will officially wind down operations and close on December 31, 2025.

Mike and Donna are incredibly proud of what they’ve built—and of what Mike’s parents built before them. The homes and businesses they’ve served, the trust customers have placed in them, the friendships made along the way, the camaraderie with their beloved long-time employees, and the shared belief in doing quality work and doing right by the customer… it has all meant the world to them. This work has not just been a job—it has been their lives.

While they don’t have a specific contractor to refer you to, they encourage you to take your time, do a little homework, and choose a company that is truly locally owned and operated. Not just a local name or storefront—choose a business where the owners live, work, and invest in this community.
Support local businesses!

To our loyal customers, Mike and Donna want to say:

“Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us and the loyalty you’ve shown over the years. We cannot express enough how grateful we are for every job well done, every handshake, every place warmed on a cold day or cooled on a hot one. We are just plain grateful for all of you.”

From the entire Air Handlers family—past and present—thank you for nearly six decades of support.

10 Common HVAC Problems and How to Prevent Them
Your HVAC system is essential for maintaining comfort in your home or business. However, like any mechanical system, it can develop issues over time. Understanding common HVAC problems and how to prevent them can save you time, money, and frustration. Here are ten frequent HVAC issues and tips to keep your system running efficiently.

1. Clogged Air Filters
Dirty air filters restrict airflow, making your system work harder and reducing efficiency. Replace or clean filters every 1-3 months to maintain correct airflow and indoor air quality.

2. Thermostat Issues
Incorrect thermostat settings or a malfunctioning thermostat can cause heating and cooling inconsistencies. Regularly check your thermostat settings and replace batteries as needed to ensure proper operation.

3. Refrigerant Leaks
Low refrigerant levels can cause your HVAC system to underperform or stop working. If you notice weak cooling or ice buildup on the coils, contact a professional to inspect and fix any leaks.

4. Dirty or Frozen Evaporator Coils
Coils covered in dirt or ice reduce system efficiency and cooling capacity—schedule routine maintenance to keep evaporator coils clean and prevent freezing issues.

5. Blocked Condensate Drain
A clogged drain can cause water leaks and humidity issues. Inspect and clear the drain line regularly to avoid blockages and potential water damage.

6. Strange Noises from the Unit
Noises like banging, rattling, or screeching often indicate loose parts or motor problems. If you hear odd sounds, turn off the unit and have it inspected by a technician.

7. Weak Airflow
Poor airflow can result from clogged ducts, dirty filters, or a failing blower motor. Regular maintenance, including duct cleaning and filter changes, helps maintain correct airflow.

8. Uneven Heating or Cooling
Temperature inconsistencies throughout your home can be due to blocked vents, ductwork issues, or improper system sizing. Ensure vents are open and unblocked, and consider a professional evaluation if problems persist.

9. Short Cycling
If your HVAC system turns on and off frequently, it may be due to an oversized unit, a malfunctioning thermostat, or dirty components. A technician can diagnose and correct the issue to improve efficiency.

10. When to Call a Professional
While regular maintenance can prevent many issues, some problems require expert attention. If your system isn’t working correctly despite troubleshooting, contact a licensed HVAC technician for repairs or servicing.

Final Thoughts
Preventative maintenance is key to keeping your HVAC system in peak condition. By addressing small issues early and scheduling regular professional tune-ups, you can extend the lifespan of your system and ensure consistent comfort year-round.
