Blower wheel balance

Installation

Frequently Asked Questions

The purpose of blower wheel balance is to ensure that the fan blades are evenly weighted and spinning efficiently, thus improving air flow and reducing vibrations in an AC unit.
If your AC unit is producing insufficient airflow or loud noises, it may be a sign that the blower wheel needs to be balanced.
A balancer, such as a strobe light or vibration analyzer, is necessary for accurately measuring and adjusting the weights on a fan blade to achieve proper balance. Additionally, some specialty tools may be required depending on the type of fan blade being balanced.
An unbalanced blower wheel can cause excessive noise, increased wear-and-tear on components, reduced cooling efficiency due to inadequate air flow, and even permanent damage due to excessive vibration over time.
