Temtrol Custom Air Handler Service in Phoenix, AZ
A custom air handler is built once, for one building. Keeping it running is a matter of understanding what was built.
Temtrol builds custom air-handling units in Oklahoma for buildings whose engineers needed something a catalog unit could not provide — hospitals with strict filtration and pressurization requirements, laboratories with once-through airflow, university buildings with unusual coil arrangements and footprints that had to fit an existing mechanical room. Phoenix has these buildings, and a number of them move their air through Temtrol equipment. Bleuwave services Temtrol air handlers as an independent contractor, without factory affiliation, and our approach begins with the submittal drawings.
Custom equipment rewards restoration. A Temtrol casing built twenty-five years ago for a Valley hospital was engineered to a specification that still fits the building; what has aged is inside it — coils, fans, dampers, controls. Replacing those components in a sound casing delivers a near-new air handler without rigging a new unit through a wall that was closed up two decades ago.

Temtrol Equipment We Encounter
Families and designations that appear on nameplates in the Phoenix market. Capacities, refrigerants and configurations vary by model and year; we verify from the nameplate on site rather than from a catalog.
| Family | Category | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Temtrol custom air handlers | Air Handlers | Engineered-to-order indoor and outdoor air-handling units for institutional, healthcare and laboratory buildings. |
| Temtrol energy-recovery and outside-air units | DOAS & Make-Up Air | Custom air handlers configured for high outside-air fractions and energy recovery. |
Temtrol Equipment and Application
Temtrol's line covers indoor and outdoor custom air handlers from moderate capacity to very large, with double-wall construction, a wide range of coil, filter, fan and damper configurations, and options for energy recovery, humidification, sound attenuation and full outside-air operation. Each unit is built to a project specification; two Temtrol units of similar size in two Phoenix buildings may share almost nothing beyond the nameplate. That is why service begins with the documentation.
Phoenix Wear on Custom Air Handlers
The outside-air load is the defining stress. A Temtrol unit conditioning full outside air for a laboratory or a hospital wing runs its cooling coil at high duty every hour of a Phoenix summer, and coil fouling from dust shows up as rising supply-air temperature and rising chilled-water demand. Filter banks load quickly. Economizer and outside-air dampers seize from dust and disuse. Fan bearings and belts wear; single large plenum fans on older units are candidates for fan-array retrofits that improve efficiency and redundancy. Outdoor units add UV and thermal-cycling damage to casing seals, insulation and damper linkages.
Rebuild, Retrofit and Controls
We measure airflow, static pressure across each section, coil approach temperatures and motor and drive performance against the unit's design values, then scope the work: coil replacement, fan-array conversion, damper and actuator replacement, filter-bank upgrades, casing repair, VFD replacement and controls integration. Sequence-of-operations review is part of every assessment, because a custom air handler with a poor sequence underperforms regardless of mechanical condition; we coordinate with the building automation practice. Full replacement is quoted where the casing has failed or the unit no longer fits the building's requirements.
Straight Answers
Questions About Temtrol Equipment
Can a twenty-year-old Temtrol air handler be rebuilt rather than replaced?
Often, yes. If the casing is structurally sound, replacing coils, fans, dampers, filters and controls restores near-new performance without the rigging and disruption of a new unit. We assess the casing first and price a rebuild against a replacement.
Do you have Temtrol's documentation for our unit?
We work from your building's submittal drawings and the unit's nameplate data. If the documentation has been lost, we field-survey the unit and reconstruct what we need.
Is Bleuwave affiliated with Temtrol?
No. We service Temtrol equipment as an independent contractor without factory affiliation or authorization.
