International Comfort Products HHP036GKA1 Blower Wheel
The main blower wheel is the squirrel cage attached to the blower motor that is used to produce an airflow throughout a house. It is sometimes called a squirrel cage due to a funny resemblance of a rather large hamster wheel. Whatever you want to call it, it is a necessary aspect of a heating and cooling system that needs proper air pressure within the ductwork.
Cues of a weak blower wheel
- A scraping sound heard as the motor ramps up
- If a piece of the cage has been dented and it seems out of balance
- You may sense lower than normal air flow in the house
