Air Handlers & HVAC Equipment

Pre-1980 air handling units, duct lining, and HVAC insulation frequently contained asbestos. Sheet metal workers installing and later removing this equipment — along with building maintenance personnel — were exposed during both installation and later renovation work. Carrier, Trane, and York units from this era appear in numerous exposure claims.
