We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would aid you in your home.
An air handler is the internal unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. In essence, an air handler does what its label says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate cooled or warmed air through the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other mechanisms. When the weather is hot, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps uphold correct comfort levels in your home. Some forms of air handlers even have heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.
A properly maintained and working air handler can help decrease utility bills and a provide a lengthier lifetime for your split system or heat pump.
