Actuators

Most modern HVAC system that are designed for automated control and zoning utilize actuators. They serve a few functions that are crucial to the operation and efficiency of systems like air handlers, VAV (Variable Air Volume) boxes, and residential and commercial HVAC control systems....Read more

HVAC actuators ensure precise control of dampers and valves. Damper actuators regulate airflow within ductwork, and valve actuators are used to control the flow of heating or cooling fluids. Actuators are also used to enable zoning, ensuring different parts of a building can have different temperatures. Without actuators, you could not achieve the right airflow, temperature, humidity, or pressure within an HVAC system and indoor environment. Since they are used in automation, they also can save you time and effort by removing necessary manual intervention, as older HVAC systems would require manual operation of dampers or valves to control airflow.

Without an actuator, your system may experience poor airflow regulation, which can lead to inconsistent temperatures and therefore uncomfortable indoor environments. This also may make the HVAC system work harder, which increases energy consumption and therefore costs. Most HVAC actuators are durable and only need replaced every 5-10 years, though that can vary based on usage. They should be regularly inspected and may require periodic calibration during routine scheduled system maintenance to ensure proper functionality.

We stock a wide range of actuators from trusted brands like Belimo, Schneider Electric, and Honeywell to meet your specific needs. We know how crucial these are to the operation and efficiency of HVAC systems, so we’re committed to finding you the exact part you need and getting it to you quick.
