Carrier 58CTA11010012 Blower Wheel
A blower wheel is attached to the blower motor and is spun around by a motor to provide air circulation to all the ducts. It can also be referred to as a squirrel cage due to the slight resemblance of a very large wheel a hamster would run on. Whatever you decide to call it, it is a very vital contraption of any HVAC system that needs a good amount of airflow.
Red flags your blower wheel has little life left
- If a part of the cage has been malformed and looks unbalanced when it spins
- A clanking sound is audible while the system ramps up
- You see quite a bit less air flow in the house
