    Loud fan in air handler
    Fan in air handler is noisey, but it works good. We can't hear TV and have to talk load.Is it possiable to get a fan that is quieter and still blows enough air.

    You might look at the blower and see if a piece of paper(usually a diagram that is no longer glued to the blower access door) is in the blower wheel.

    The furnace/A/C unit needs enough blower speed to operate the system. It is possible the speed can be lowered BUT that should be done by a service person who is familiar with your type of system. Lowering a blower speed to low can have adverse effects on both heat and A/C.


    If this system is in a mobile home you probably will not be able to lower the blower speed due to duct restrictions/size.
