International Comfort Products CAC460AKA1 Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is used as to generate airflow throughout an entire home. It is also called a squirrel cage due to the partial resemblance to that of a wheel that a pet hamster may use for exercise. Whatever name you use, it is definitely an important aspect of a heating and cooling system that needs proper air circulation.
Major signs of a poorly working blower wheel
- If any one of the fins has been dented and it seems out of balance
- A thumping noise is heard while system starts
- You find quite a bit less airflow overall
