My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Add variable speed control to AC air handler

18 years ago

Can I simply add a manual variable speed control to the fan motor in my AC air handler so I can slow the velocity of the air while using it purely as an air circulator/air filter?
