What is an HVAC Actuator?

To sum it up, actuators are the main driving source behind the control of the dampers in an HVAC system. They are motorized units that are responsible for regulating the airflow of smoke and fresh air throughout the system accurately. With low voltage, these components can efficiently and accurately adjust to meet the unit’s needs.

How Do You Test an Actuator?

To evaluate an actuator, attach a multimeter to one of the leads and take note of the amperage as the rod extends and retracts. This method is the most accurate for a reading of the actuator’s current consumption.

Is There a Way to Reset an HVAC Actuator?

This process will differ depending on the brand and actuator type. For blend door actuators, simply remove the actuator and turn the climate control to max heat. Then, turn the blend door shaft until you can feel the max heat coming out of the vents. Finally, reinstall the actuator and once everything is back in place, it should be reset.

What are the Symptoms of a Failing HVAC Actuator?

There are several telltale indicators of a malfunctioning actuator in your HVAC system. The most common are tapping noises and fluctuations in airflow consistency. If you notice any of those common signs, be sure to contact a technician to check the actuator.
