Electric furnaces have strip heat inside of them. Depending on the model, size, etc, is how much heat the system can provide. Many times, if the system has worked in the past and started to have problems later, it's because you have lost half or more of your heat strips. They come in different sizes, 10kw, 15kw, 20kw, but ran on different contactors. So if you have a tripped breaker, faulty heat sequencer, etc, you can still have heat, but not the full amount. I strongly suggest any electrical related problems be look at by a qualified technician when dealing with air handlers. Hope this helps!
Will be to clean each contact-switch and scrape the contacts and use wd40 and spray of air and remove all rust, its possible that exist another options of failure.
You need 24 volts going to the coil of the contactor. If you do not have 24 volts, you will need to trace the wiring back to see where you are losing it from. Try placing your voltmeter at C & Y coming from your air handler. If not, go to your air handler and test for 24 volts ac at C & Y coming from your thermostat. If you do not have 24 volts coming from your thermostat, there is either a problem with the thermostat or there is a problem with the wiring between the thermostat and the air handler. If you have 24 volts at the air handler coming from the thermostat but you do not have 24 volts at the outdoor unit coming from the air handler, then you have a problem with the wires between the air handler and the outdoor unit.
I hope you find this information to be very helpful to you moving forward. Please leave a rating. :-)
