Carrier FE5A Blower Wheel
The blower wheel is usually finned and is used in order to produce a steady airflow through a residence. It is also referred to as a squirrel cage because of the striking similarity of a very large wheel a hamster would run on. No matter what you call it, it is definitely an important device that is necessary for suitable airflow.
Red flags that your blower wheel is in dire straights
- Clanking sound heard while the system ramps up
- You observe much less airflow overall
- If a part of the cage has been dented and seems unbalanced when it turns
