We’re here to help you recognize what an air handler is and if one would benefit you in your home.
An air handler is the indoor unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump flow cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other components. When the weather is warm, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps maintain proper comfort levels inside your home. Some forms of air handlers even contain heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.
A correctly maintained and functioning air handler can help lessen utility bills and a create an extended natural life for your split system or heat pump.
