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 interior 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 contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other mechanisms. When the weather is warm, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps sustain correct comfort levels inside your home. Some types of air handlers even have heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.
A correctly maintained and operating air handler can help lower utility bills and a create a lengthier life span for your split system or heat pump.
